I've Got Wheels...2 of them!

The summer heat is upon Eastern Ontario and Damn...it's hot! I suppose that this summer I won't have any ocean breezes to cool me down and a heat wave is predicted for most of this part of the world...fun!!!

Well, in order to enjoy my first summer of unemployment in many years, I've decided that I need to get back to nature. Well, at least closer to nature...maybe not frollicking in it, but at least driving past it. What better way to drive past nature than on 2 wheels...so...today I bought 2 wheels and luckily there was a bicycle attached to them.

Kevin and his current mode of transportation...

I chugged along a bike trail for a few km's along the St. Lawrence River and I know that I'll be in agony in the morning. Hopefully I'll be touring the local countryside in a few days, watching nature fly by. What a difference from trying to drive a bike in Korea! Today as I drove along, not a single car or truck was driving on the bike path behind me honking their horn at me to get off the path. No uncoordinated young women drove their bicycles into me and I didn't see one drunk old guy weaving around on the path...what a difference!
