Occasional Toronto: The Biker

The Biker

I spotted this squirrel just off Bloor St W as she enjoyed her lunch while perched on the seat of one of the many abandoned bikes that you can find around the city. For some unknown reason people lock bikes to racks and then never return, leaving them to rust and also to take up the spaces for locking your bike. It is a mystery!

Same thing happens with bikes over here. From time to time the police round them all up and auction them. There was also a plan to let the unemployed fix the bikes at one time, not sure if that still happens.; September 12, 2020 at 9:01 AM

LOL, cute biker squirrel! It is strange people would lock up a bike and never return to get it. That is a mystery. Take care and stay safe. Thank you for linking up your post. Enjoy your day, have a happy weekend.; September 12, 2020 at 9:43 AM
