who's ever been towed?

Never been towed and we now have FREE motorcycle parking in toronto!

Our parking meters spit out a piece of paper that shows you've paid, people in cars would steal them off of bikes and use 'em. So they now let bikes park for free.

It's more fun to ride a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow.

Just don't do what I've done and move so far out that you spend half you life commuting.  I've got a beautiful house with a pretty yard in a nice town that is even near some good riding.  I just know the stress of dealing w/ traffic for 2.5+hrs every day is knocking years off my life.


I commute about an hour (49 miles) each way daily. Traffic is usually only bad during the 10-15 miles closest to work. I used to live only 13 miles from work. Only takes me ~10 more minutes to commute to my current house than it took to get to my old one. (Part of the time difference can be credited to the direction I'm away from work, too.) I find it's less stressful since I get some open road to chill out on before I get home - and the quieter setting, larger home, bigger garage and more property were well worth the trade to me... but then I also commute in a vanpool almost all the time, so I get to relax in the city traffic and read or nap. (Unless it's my turn to drive.)
