I did it.
Took me 23 years, but I finally learned how to ride a bike. I'm not saying I'm an overnight pro, or that you'll see me weaving in and out of Toronto traffic, but I can go from point A to point B on a two wheeler!
I actually learned how to ride my bike at 21-years-old (still old), but I never got an opportunity to ride it for more than 10 minutes.
Also, before my trip to Europe, I practiced riding once with one of my trip mates in preparation for a bike tour in Amsterdam. Unfortunately (and probably in everyone's best interest) I got sick in Amsterdam and couldn't do the bike tour.
Lucky for me, Toronto has an amazing landscape that includes the Toronto Islands. In mid July, my friends Claire and Caroline took me on a 10-kilometre bike ride from one point of the Island, to the other and back.
I only fell once and caught it all on my GoPro.
