Get Back Into Biking
Although winter this year has been mild enough to keep even the less than avid cyclist on the road for the majority of the season, most of us are eagerly awaiting those longer, warmer days of spring. Torontonians, on the whole, have embraced this efficient, clean, and fun way to get around; but while choosing the bike as a primary mode of transportation can be difficult for many, there is something to be said about its use recreationally. Opt for Trails and Pathways While the city debates over how to expand its on-street bike network, and those brave enough deal with the often stressful, although rewarding commute through these traffic-laden…

By: Alexandra Davies March 2014: the official month of bipolar weather. As you all have probably noticed, March has stricken the Danforth with a couple warm days full of sunshine and smiles, but has also thrown us a couple curveballs. Just as our streets became slush-free, Mother Nature decided to hit us with one of the year’s fiercest snowstorms (thanks for that, by the way!). Despite this unexpected and totally unnecessary whirlwind of a blizzard, the people of the Danforth were still out there rocking some serious spring-inspired styles. The aftermath of the storm left the Avenue drenched in snow, but the people kept high hopes that spring is just…
