WHERE YOU HEADING: going to get food. (I should bike more than I can chew!)

WHAT ARE YOU RIDING: Her name is Angie, a beautiful blue cruiser bike. she was a gift from a friend, after my original baby, Emily, got stolen.

WHY DO YOU RIDE: I like the consistency of the breeze when I ride. I like the options of taking different paths and speeds. The free and curious feeling on my bike gives my day a sparkle.

IF YOU COULD CHANGE ONE THING ABOUT BIKING IN OTTAWA WHAT WOULD IT BE: designated safe bike paths on major streets. And bike thieves go away!
