Tonight, I took Free Spirit to a family party in Etobicoke.
It was fine pretty much the whole way there, with the only minor incident being that I had to pass a gaggle of three bicycle cops, and I was sure they were going to pull me over for something. Things only went wrong when I entered the neighborhood that my aunt and uncle live in. I took a wrong turn and I just could not find their house.
It was at this point that I discovered the flaw with the "how to get unlost" Sesame Street clip I posted before, and it is this:
That clip only teaches you how to get home. It doesn't teach you how to get anywhere else. So there I am, sitting on the side of the road, singing the song in my head, and my only option is to return to College and Ossington.
I found an elderly couple who instructed me to ride two blocks back, take a driveway that led to a set of hidden stairs, go down the stairs, ride down the road and take two rights and I would be there. I was a bit dubious, but they were absolutely right.
