My Grandfather, who grew up out West, always had the most sage advice for the youngin's, and 'Don't Eat Yellow Snow', was probably his most wise of teaching's since it applies to anywhere in the world, not the least of which, Toronto. Toronto gets 2 types of Winter's these days. 1: the kind where you could literally go to work in the morning wearing nothing but Birkenstocks and your favorite touque, and 2: the kind which literally shuts the city down for 2-3 days. There really doesn't seem to be much in the middle anymore. Gosh-Golly,...I remember the days when I used to have to walk 10 km's to school during -40 temps, trudging uphill through 2 meters of hard-packed snow and ice with nothing but my bookbag and tiny woolen mittens to help keep the cold winter winds from ripping through,...oh wait,...that's my Dad's story, I always got a drive. Nevermind, just don't eat the snow, o.k? Well,...not the yellow stuff anyway; the brown's pretty safe. :o)

Ok,...I know. They perform a vital service to Toronto business by making sure the all-important package arrives to it's destination on time, but even though they may look like comic book superheroes with their flashy hats and multicoloured Spandex armour I assure you that the intrepid Bike Courier couldn't give a rat's ass for the health and safety of their fellow Torontonians. With their zigging and-a zagging, bobbing and-a weaving, they're like speeding, sweaty missiles plowing their way past slower automobiles and pedestrians alike, ignoring every rule of the road and traffic light in their path. So,... always look to your left before crossing a busy Toronto street my friend, even if the little green fella says it's o.k to do so, lest you've a desire to have the front of your clothes torn from your body like in a cartoon by some rocket powered maniac in ridiculous, oversized sunglasses swearing and giving the finger because you were,...gasp,...obeying the traffic lights.
