Cycling in Amsterdam – The Utopian World
Cycling in Amsterdam &#...
Having spent some time in Amsterdam last year, I have come to appreciate so many thing about this (my favorite) city. Amsterdam simply “works”. Especially if you accept cycling as a sustainable, eco-friendly, practical (need I go on?) mode of transportation. In a recent...

I was sorting through photos from our most wonderful Dutch cycling vacation. Yes I know… “Les you and Helen went to the Netherlands in September of last year. It’s February of 2009!”. Enough already…. I know. One of my New Year’s resolutions (managing...

Helen & I recently spent a wonderful 7 days in the Mayan Riviera (Mexico). What an awesome trip (story for another BLOG). Each day we went for a long walk along the beach. One of our destinations was  a little seaside town called Puerto Morelos. I am always interested in seeing...
Cycling – Bike Spotting in Montreal – Redux

Yesterday I blogged about the cycling antics of some Montrealers. I am actually very impressed by their bravado, bravery, spunk, skill, etc…. This morning I awoke to even more snow. I wondered if I would still see cyclists out there. After all, the weather was so bad I had to...

Our bike-spotting trip to New York City was a bit lame. The trip itself was great. But the amount of bikes we saw (in movement) was disappointing. My hope was that our visit to Montreal would yield better results. OMG, it’s freezing here! It was minus 30 degrees with the wind...

Helen & I have an annual tradition of visiting New York City with our good friends Karen & Mike. This year is no different. Well, maybe it is? Armed with my trusty Canon SD870, I decided I would add “bike-spotting” into my agenda. How hard could it be to spot cyclists...

Finally – a Canadian city is “getting it”. I knew this was on the way as I had seen the adverts whilst in Montreal recently. BIXI…… not sure about the name.

I have written about Bicycles for Humanity a couple of times. In my first post I talked about meeting Seb Oran. My last post described the organization. Bicycles for Humanity needs your support now. They are in the midst of their September 2008 Ottawa bicycle drive.

I have written about Bicycles for Humanity before. This is a cause that we support whole-heartedly. Have you ever given anything to a charity with the knowledge that your donation would be utilized 100%? Probably not. This is precisely why I am a supporter of Bicycles for Humanity.

There are so many worthy charities out there. That being said, I often don’t pay as much attention as I should to requests for charitable support as there are simply too many of them out there and I would spend all of my time trying to help all of them. Enter Seb Oran and Bicycles...
