Biking on the Humber river trail. There were numerous twists and turns, and I somewhat disregarded a nominal 20 kph speed limit. I was careful, slowed on turns, and slowed to pass pedestrians. Unfortunately, I collided with a great many gnats to my dissatisfaction. The effective speed limit, the pedestrian traffic, and the bugs make this route more suitable for running than biking. I did manage to get north of the 401, which pleases me.

Das commute. It rained on my way home, and I deployed my backpack's self-poncho to protect its contents.

Haircut at topcuts.

For purposes of standardization, I think I'm going to set my commute to a speed of 2 min/km. In practice, I spend a bit more time in traffic, but it's simple to define the amount of "workout" I get as 2 min/km of distance. Hitting traffic lights on my bike might make the workout more interval-y, because I try to accelerate hard out of stops.

Today's morning commute was via Annette, Dundas, and College st. My peak speed was 36 kph with cruising speeds of 30+ kph.
