Gear Up For The Strike Toronto

The TTC went on Strike Friday at midnight.

In these situations, many people get worried over being stranded. It's true that this is incredibly inconvenient. Still until they work it out, us Torontonians have no choice but to find alternate ways to get around the city.

Try Getting Around By:

• Take your fitness goals up a notch by cycling everywhere. Hey, I practice what I preach. I'll be biking a total of 50 miles before the day is done! Just pack some water and a snack and have fun with it. Bike stores like Cyclepath are extending their hours so you can get much needed accessories and tune ups.

• Carpool. It helps the environment.

• Walk for small errands and closer distances. At least it's not the winter anymore!

• Get friends and neighbours to split on cabs. A few people in on a cab isn't so bad! Get dropped off close enough to where everybody is going and walk the rest of the way.

• In line skating is an exciting way to get around the city. Not only is it a killer workout but you can also go on the sidewalk if there is too much traffic. Without getting shunned too badly. :D

Hopefully the TTC will get this settled by Monday morning. Until then think of the strike as an opportunity to get some exercise and fresh air. Even if it's forced!

Stay Positive Toronto!
