When I lived in Toronto I lived in the north-west part of the city and lived inthe south east and commuted each day on my bike. Sometimes I would weave through side streets and back lanes and sometimes I would go straight down Bloor/Danforth - a main east-west artery. On Bloor - Danforth I would encounter dozens of other cyclists playing 'the game.' I had a longer route than most of them and so riders would join in for a few kms and turn off, then another would take up the chase. I was faster than some shaved leg roadies and slower than some middle-aged women on hoopty bikes with baskets.
