Of course, he left his bike there when he walked off into the sunset. And someone stole it and it eventually ended up chained to a post in NYC for 365 days.

And, of course, when he had to do bathroom type stuff, the people behind him were showered with, um......bathroom type stuff.

Every time I feel like the weather in Chicago is too shitty to bike to work, I remember those poutine munching tabarnacs in Montreal are riding year round in whatever we're having, but more of it.

(Today was glorious, though.)

My house (ok, well, my neighbor's) at 0:33!

He didn't venture much out of the Plateau during his 382 days it seems.

That was not what I was expecting, but thoroughly enjoyable nonetheless.

Winter would have to first arrive before it could go away...
