I've used this trail to (partially) get to Richmond from Berkeley several times. Despite the long ride, it's beautiful and enjoyable.
The air/wind, green, and quiet is enough to lift anyone's mood--even a cranky overworked student!

I also love being on…More »

Bixi's an awesome concept.
I'm glad it's finally arrived in Toronto. My friend and I checked the map for docking stations today, and there seems to be one almost every other block from bloor to front, and between jarvis and university (?).

Here is how…More »

One of my favourite day trip spots (: rent a bike and relax with the beaches, greenery, and scenery! Oh and bring a picnic if you are really into the idealistic romantic shebang.

Just saying, there's a clothing optional beach. Visit for your own…More »

As a bike rental place it's not so bad. Prices are all right. I can't really remember exact numbers but I remember thinking it could be a lot worse in a tourist trap like the Islands.

On busy days (like the weekend in the summer) it can get pretty…More »

As a Cal student, I might imminently be stoned to death for five-starring a Stanford institution.
I can't help it! The truth must be told!

I was here last year to buy a bike while I was living on Stanford campus briefly (I think I hear the pitchforks…More »

I don't go to OCAD so I can't comment on the actual education. I'm going to copy everyone else and just talk about this campus/building, because it's quite the sight.

From the outside it looks like a horribly-coloured kaleidoscopic eyesore. Black and…More »
