Bauer said one of the messages he’s trying to get across is that Toronto needs better transit infrastructure.

“We have so many people that use the transit to get to work and if it’s not faster than taking the car and it’s not safer than taking the car, why would they take it?”

Though he’s been an avid runner for about five years, Bauer said he has had some injuries and illnesses that have kept him from maintaining peak physical condition.
