Toronto: The City of the Bicycle.




I know that I have written a lot about Toronto lately, but I can't help myself. It was such a great city! One that Toby and I could easily migrate to without hesitation. The biking was unbelievable. I had never felt so comfortable on a bike before riding in that city.

For this post, I grabbed a few of the city's graphics from the biking network/systems. I love how conscientious Toronto seems to be in the face of design! We didn't find many ad's or pamphlets that did not put design as a top priority, even the biking graphics.

In the process of selecting these images, I found a great Toronto biking blog, called Bike Lane Diary, please visit them here. Now, if Toby and I could only get out of the suburbs and into a city where biking could be our life everyday!

A New Interest...


Toby and I went golfing with Steve and Rachel this past Sunday. It was Rachel and I's first time ever golfing. Of course we have both hit the putt-putt course and a driving range before, but never the true fairway. We went to a par three course called Planter's Row. I was not very good by any means, Rachel and I were pretty much even the entire day, although I did manage to par hole 7. Long story short, I LOVED it. Toby's family all golf, my mom's side of the family are avid golfers and I have always wanted to try it. I am glad that I finally did! After we were finished playing 9 holes, Toby and I headed straight to Dick's Sporting goods and bought me my very own set of golf clubs! We went to a driving range on Monday and we played 18 holes at Planter's Row on Tuesday. Tomorrow is our 4-year anniversary and I think we are going to hit the fairway again! I finally understand why it can be so addicting.
