Got on the 20" wheeled, single speed Dahon and decided to use another route to downtown Vancouver today.

Was cycling along Russ Baker Way heading towards the Arthur Laing Bridge when this kid in a car seat looked at me and waved. I smiled and waved back. Made my day.


At the foot of the Arthur Laing Bridge ready to head into Vancouver. Its Spring break so there are less cars on the road. Normally, this would be bumper to bumper with cars -- mostly single occupant vehicles.


Cypress is a designated bike route and it turns into Angus heading north in Vancouver.


The route goes along a wealthy neighborhood with quiet side streets until you hit Burrard. Seeing I was on that side of town, I took the Burrard Bridge into downtown then rode along the Hornby separated bike path to my office. Very few cyclists commuting into work today.

It took me longer than usual to ride into downtown but I appreciated the change of scenery.
