DUTCH BIKES HIT TORONTO!

This morning, I just happen to drive past a new bike store on Bloor street, at Brunswick.. ( right across from Future Bakery)...and noticed that the whole store just mostly sold only DUTCH BIKES ! how ever so cool !!





In ten years.. mark my words, every biker in Toronto will be wanting and owning a dutch bike to get around Toronto.. they are a perfect city Bike !... speaking to the owners, they told me they have been selling these bikes for only 2 months now at their shop here in Toronto, and have sold over 200 of them ! and the bikes start at $700 and up.. !!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MAYA AND ALEX!

Today, is both Maya's and Alex's birthday. Although I can't really reach Alex today, as he is in Vancouver with his dad, I was able to celebrate with Maya. Melinda, Hali ( Maya's best friend) Maya and I went out together for dinner at the Keg Mansion. We had a really nice time.. but cut a bit short as Hali was not feeling quite right, and so I took her with Maya to emergency... hopefully that baby will come out soon.. she really looks like she is going to pop ! This evening , Maya is enjoying her first LEGAL drink !
