| - I've had not one, not two, but three of my bicycles stolen! Upon discovering the last theft, sheer outrage (*fists were shaking*) mixed with the feeling of my heart sinking was enough for me to give up cycling forever! OK, for a few days. I soon discovered Monty's BIXI system and before I could say "Holy bananas, this bike weighs a ton!", I was once again pedalling around the city, albeit at a slower speed than my previous street bikes. BIXI is extremely convenient (when you don't unlock one only to discover that it's busted or has a flat tire), and the docking stations are plentiful and easily accessible around the city. In the warmer months, you won't see me on a bus or on the metro...I get my booty to work by working it, literally, along the bike paths that the city of Montreal has been so kind to construct for its city dwellers. Now, if they'd only do something about the actual roads...
Before I pedal off on a tangent, I'd like to give BIXI two thumbs up for helping me get to work in a timely fashion, for allowing me to burn a few extra calories every day, for making me feel like I'm reducing my carbon footprint, and for getting me home in the wee hours when public transportation is lights out and I'm too poor to pay for a taxi. On, one, two, three, Yay BIXI!!
