I want to ride my bicycle!!!

I want to ride my BIKE!!

Well, I guess first priority would be to purchase said bicycle... which hopefully will be remedied very soon. Thank you tax return! Woot!

Now that it is spring time the city has become more alive and bustling.  It seems like everyone has gotten their bike out of storage and are making use of the many bike paths that Montreal has to offer. And... I am jealous. I can not wait to get back pedaling.  The spin classes I have been going to at the YMCA are just not the same.



First up when I find a bike I want to take the Lachine Canal bike path.  It is a really nice bike path that is close to 30 km round trip and I think there are a bunch of other connecting paths you can connect to as well.  On a nice day it is so busy! I've been out jogging on the path a lot lately and some days you have to be aware of all the cyclists and rollerbladers. I thought Kelowna was bad for its roller bladers, but they are by far out numbered here (which for some reason I find surprising).

Right now I live close to the Atwater Market, which is right on the Canal.  It is pretty neat how there are bike paths that can take you all around the island!!! Yep, Montreal is an island didn't you know?  "The island is approximately 50 km long and 16 km wide at its widest point".  The geography of this city always makes me laugh for some reason. A mountain? On an Island?

Once I do get out for a ride, I will be sure to post an update! But until then, watch this:
