I coast over a mighty hill, somewhere in the depths of suburbia, feeling the breeze through my hair, gathering momentum as I speed rapidly past the endless houses.
I’m not wearing a helmet, and should a car suddenly pull out of a driveway on this sleepy Saturday morning, I could be in real danger. Yet, I haven’t a worry in the world. I am free to go wherever these two wheels can take me.
As a kid growing up on the edge of Peterborough, Ont., the bicycle was my key to freedom. I waited till I was 17 to try for my driver’s license, and even then I found it simpler to take my bike, rather than begging my parents to lend me the car, or working...

New Delhi: Star gazers across the country were in for a celestial treat on Sunday night as it happened to be the only night in 2012 when the Moon shone at its brightest and biggest.
The phenomenon, called Supermoon, this year coincided with Buddha Purnima.
