MY CITY
Toronto and the GTA have gone through several lockdowns and shifts in restrictions over the first year of the pandemic. In many municipalities, access to previously normal activities became limited or unavailable as the government implemented measures such as lockdowns, closures, social distancing, and mandatory mask-wearing in an attempt to slow the spread of the coronavirus. Residents are forced to continuously adjust to frequent changes that impacted activities in their daily lives, from grocery shopping to attending school or work. Keep scrolling to see what city life looks like under covid restrictions!

Even with the inconsistent changes to the rules and regulation every two weeks. Public transportation is a place of transmission, as it a bit difficult to social distance, especially during peak hour.

@chezmallo @explorebloorannex #toronto #canada - gratitude for all the cheering today - joined a #workweekhustle with #momhalo - my feet are a little sore as I walked over 24000 steps today. Just one of those days that I wander around the city of Toronto from Davenport to Yorkville taking a lot of #torontophotography while I did a #photowalk. Of course I had to stop at this #torontocoffee shop for a drink on the way back. I am just a little cold now.

How I Spend my Time During The Pandemic
Most of you know my day is usually spent on the bike, but I wasn't always a fan of riding on two wheels. In fact as a kid, when I was learning how to ride I had a terrible experience I would never forget. I was scarred physically and mentally.
Many years later I would overcome this fear and was feeling happier than ever when I got back on a bike. I became more social and outgoing. I look back now and think of what I went through was sort of a blessing in disguise. It made me stronger; overcoming not only my past experience but also becoming a social person and hopefully motivational to others.
