Well I went to bed last night with just a light dusting of snow and awoke to Winter Wonderland! WOW! This is what I was pleasantly surprised to see from my bedroom window:
Meanwhile, since arriving here I had been thinking about whether I should get a bike or not - the paths are everywhere and everyone has a bike and I thought it would be a nice way to get around town. However, only being here a short time and mostlly in the snow I thought - maybe not such a great idea - walking works too! Especially when a very average cruiser bike will run you 150.00 and putting spike tires on makes it even more crazy expensive. So after a visit to the second hand bikeshop that had plain OLD bikes for ~200 I figured I would stick to walking. Then as luck would have it, I was out at the pub last Friday (the walk downtown was about half an hour) and my friend Natalie explained that she had not one but TWO bikes that had been given her to use :) So she doubled her boyfriend back home and I rode one of her bikes home (took only 10 minutes max!) and then when he left at the end of the weekend I scored the use of this bike - it's quite possibly an antique - although rides pretty decent overall - although not sure when the last time I used a back-pedal-braking bike - grade five maybe?!
