Ohh woww I'm behind on all this XD.. But that's just way too much for a bike.. You could probably get 2 decent cars for that amount :O

Pssh, real bike riders only use themselves for propulsion energy.

Ya, but instead I get to keep the $20! Well... only 11 dollars when I went because I hit a brick and pierced my tire between Oakville and some random town called Trafalgar.

I had to walk the bike 5 km to Canadian tire, who apparently didn't sell the proper kind of innertube for my wheel, and then to some other bike store, which I had to wait outside of for 3 hours until it opened.

... still worth it, I think.

Oh My God.. and above all that you're still defending the whole biking to hamilton thing.. Shouldn't you be angry or something at least!? I know I'd be traumatized after that day XD

How long did this adventure take?! and more importantly.. WHY?!

Well, I left at 6:30 AM, and my tire broke around 9:00 AM. It got fixed at 12:00 AM, but I got lost because some guy at the bike store tried to give me better directions than what Google maps gave me.

After being lost for about an hour, I finally found Hamilton and got to my house near McMaster at about 2:30 - 3:00 PM.

So it took about 8 to 9 hours total. If I had not broken my tire, and had not gotten lost, it probably would have been 4 to 5 hours.

And as to why? I dunno... just seemed like something interesting to try :p

Wow! I'm so beyond speechless!
First of all kudos for waking up at 6:30! and For surviving a day like that ! I probably would've turned back after an hour.. maybe 2..
After being on my "To Try List" I'll just take your account for it.. as if I did it myself XD

So anyway, I just woke up now, and it looks like Origins and Science 2B03 are both full :(

Does anyone know if they were ever open? I really don't want to have to take Physics 1L03 in its place .
I have no idea what you're made of, I remember when me and some friends rode from North York to Downtown Toronto one day and even though we weren't tired (we didn't exactly go quickly) our asses all hurt from the bike seats and that was only about a third of the distance you went, I don't even know what to say about that. You must be in awesome shape.
