Now that the rain and lightning has stopped it is safe to ride. Two weeks ago in a storm shaved 5 minutes off my ride home.
This city has some really good bike routes, maybe just slightly longer as a direct route but you don't need eyes in the back of your head.
So for a rough idea of time from Lawrence Rd/Rosedale to HGH approx. 20 mins. Lawrence is a designated bike way with marked shoulders, to Cumberland at Gage to Stinson to Hunter at Wellington and straight down Ferguson to Barton. Or if you are going to the downtwon just follow Hunter to the Go Station.
Funny I see more 30+ plus types on the road. No younger crowd yet.
I have a truck but hate to pay for parking, find a free spot or cry at the pump with an $80 fill up. Now a tank lasts a month.
So there is a bike route from Nash and King to the downtown just use Lawrence. It is nice without all the exhaust.
