42nd Surfman Award: Bike Week

This past week our fair city celebrated the Bicycle. What a wonderful mode of transportation, it doesn't emit any fumes, no gas nedded, and a true friend to our community & world environment. Last Monday was the pancake breakfast/ride to work event to City Hall with Mayor Miller and any other politician who choose to dust off their bicycle and mug for the camera...I shouldn't be too critical of our politicans, becuase I want to believe that they are truly appreciative of the contribution that cyclist bring to our fantastic city. Speaking of which, today was the best of all in bike events - The Ride for Heart. The city closed down the gardiner and DVP Parkway to all gas guzzling vehicles to be replaced by over 12,000 cyclist riding for The Heart & Stroke Foundation. It was the 20th Anniversary of the Ride and the 5th year in row that I have organized and captained a corporate team, which I am proud of...we all have to do our bit, however that may be.
