Bike to work? Brighton works.

I really liked this blog post on the national century21.ca website.  My husband Rob and I chose to live very close to the downtown area in Brighton, and our house purchase was 100% based on location, location, location.  If you are a local, you may relate to his one and only house specification as "we must be walking distance to the Brighton Clover Farm."  I couldn't really ...
