I just love when people talk about cities being loud. When I’m in the suburbs, all I hear are 3 different lawn mowers, 2 leaf blower, and a hedge trimmer, all running at any given time.

@E___Cooper @NeilMBurke I mean, so what? There are cars parked everywhere, why not scooters? They are a fun and often very practical way to get around.

My favorite ebike under $1000 (on sale) is the @REI e1.1. It’s no longer in production, but it should be. Would love to see the company bring it back, even at a higher price, because it’s an absolute game changer of a bike

@shannon_ealy @mattymatheson Will absolutely check it out! We did a Blue Jays game, botanical gardens, explored the PATH tunnels, hit the DD and St. Lawrence Market (yum!), and visited the aquarium. We stayed at the Fairmont Royal York hotel for cheap because Hotwire is awesome ;)
