The weather has turned very nice recently, with lots of sunshine. It spurred us on to look for bikes, and we eventually bought some last weekend which we picked up on Tuesday. They are second-hand and ex-rental and have seen better days, but they work fine. We were looking for something cheap and undesirable in the hope that they won't get stolen - property crime is pretty bad here in Vancouver, and everyone seems to get their bike nicked at some point or other. Imagine the bike in the picture, but dirty and half knackered :) I might cover mine with some tape to make it look even worse.
Since then we've been cycling to work. The route along the seawall is very pleasant when the sun is shining, and saves us about 20 minutes compared to the walk to work. I still prefer walking mind you, as it gives you time to think about stuff.
