Notre coup de coeur <3 du moment...

Farewell P.S. Kensington



I've written about Pedestrian Sundays before. Today marked the final PS of the year and it was a must-do for my Sunday afternoon. What can you find, aside from the usual market goods?


Quirky buskers and quirky bicycles ("Organic flower guy" as per the puppet). To be fair, I've seen this busker before on Queen St. and at Buskerfest, but he seems so at home in Kensington.



A truly "green" car and a (black/greener?) bike. I've also seen this beautifully decorated women's Batavus Breukelen (Murdoch's soeur jumelle) out side of Dark Horse on Spadina ;)



...more bikes and more shops...which are not exclusive to Pedestrian Sundays, I know...


...just like this hidden bike shop.

Dancing (?) in the street. There was one gentleman in black who was obviously a clown, but I'm not sure about the rest. Older men dancing with hankerchiefs and grelots? Any explanation would be greatly appreciated.

Scooby-Doo (or Scrappy Doo) hanging out among the bubbles.

Closing a cluster of streets to cars one day a month for 6 months seems like such a little thing, but what a difference it makes. The streets are alive--with people! I love how Pedestrian Sundays promotes walking, biking and transit in such a positive light.
Adieu P.S. Kensington...à l'année prochaine!

View from my vélo


On my bike, I experience the city in a much more intimate way compared to when I'm on transit or in a car. Yes, I am alert and fully engaged in traffic. But even better, I can feel the wind in my hair, the street becomes a landscape of sights and sounds...and I can actually see the city.

Here is an example of what I saw yesterday morning on my ride into work.

La vi(lle)e est belle en vélo, n'est-ce pas?

Dimanche décontracté

Things have been very hectic lately, so I was looking forward to a lazy Sunday. (Poor SerialJay was otherwise occupied). First stop, brunch. Bon appétit!


One of these bicycles belongs to a super-groovy waitress. When she mentioned her bike was across the street, I couldn't help taking a peak (and a pic).

Follwed by a quick run to the grocery store for quelques courses. I'm always amazed at how much more you carry around en vélo vs by foot or transit. Ensuite je suis rentrée pour poursuivre mon dimanche décontracté chez moi:)

Back in the saddle

I've been a delinquent in my bike riding recently...the truth is, I got completely drenched one day on my way into work and it took me a while to recover (mentally).

Soon enough I missed the crisp autumn air in my face as I breezed through traffic (and I also hated waiting 20 mins or so for a streetcar), so I bundled up and trotted out le vélo.

It seems like the entire city is en travaux, even the teeny side streets.



Some people (like SerialJay) have a knack for taking pix while riding. Pas moi.



I was rewarded for braving the cold because that night turned into...date night! En vélo, c'est encore mieux.
