Toronto doesn’t need another form of transportation to be hateful and resentful of the others. Toronto DOES, however need just a little more courtesy, empathy and respect by all residents and commuters. E-bikes aren’t the enemy. Bikes aren’t the enemy. Heck, even cars aren’t the enemy. Disrespect is.

Awkward Eye Contact Moments
Posted in Exploring Toronto, Toronto Electric Scooter, tagged about, awkward, commuting, downtown, e-bikes, GIO, Toronto on June 9, 2010 | 8 Comments »
I’ve observed one slight problem: I never know who to make eye contact with while riding the e-bike. With whom do I exchange the “nod” of acknowledgment? The “nod” of shared experience? Eye contact situations can be awkward, tenuous and downright uncomfortable – especially between members of different commuter groups.

Riding an e-bike doesn’t make me a lazy cyclist. It makes me a sustainable commuters.

Out of the Box: Assembling My E-Bike
Posted in Toronto Electric Scooter, tagged Assembly, brand new, electric bike, GIO, instructions on May 19, 2010 | 14 Comments »
Yesterday, my shiny orange and black e-bike arrived! I am pleased to report that I hadn’t over-hyped this thing. It is as cool as I had hoped it would be. At 4:30 p.m. yesterday, the delivery truck arrived, leaving behind an enormous (and incredibly heavy) box. I immediately set to the task of unpacking and assembling my brand new electric scooter.
