No deers unfortunately. I'm planning a trip to a park downtown near the lakeshore that's rumoured to have coyotes. Could be one way to get me to pedal faster.
Which park is that? One really nice area that is by the lake shore is Tommy Thompson (AKA the Leslie St Spit). For those that don't know Toronto, back when they built this:

I'm often too lazy to dig the camera out, I really need a bar bag, to put the camera in.
