I was hoping to bike to work today but it looks like rain… but it also looks like a good day to learn how to ride in the rain.

My wife & kids are away (the kids at camp, my wife for a conference). As such, I have turned the living room into a proper bike shop. Currently 4 bikes in various states of repair - my wife's road bike, my father-in-law's brand new bike, the 9yo's new bike, and a folding bike. I have a new cassette for my mid-tail bike, too, but I think I'll order new tires first before I replace it. #BikeTooter
The 360 camera is kind of fun for doing silly things...

My wife and me both have commitments during the day. So we just did a 2h cycling to our beautiful reservoir and back. It went really well and it felt good to be on the bike.
Especially as it's not so hot any more.
Enjoy your weekend!

Very nice new tool showing #bike routes in #Austria with lots of configurability: https://radatlas.at/

Back on the bike on the train, making intercity rail actually useful as a commuter option by using my own bicycle to extend their service area all the way from Home to Office.
I wish Metrolinx didn't have such regressive policies about me "inconveniencing" people who drove a half-ton truck 8km to the train station.

This was too tempting to resist.

Good afternoon #BikeNYC #BikeTooter. Gorgeous day out there, make sure you've got your official #NYC garbage bin before the June 1st deadline!
I tried out one of those 360 cameras on my bike ride this morning...

#QueensZoo needs to ditch these awful bike racks and install staple racks. This same amount of space could fit at least a dozen bikes, but the "wheel bender" rack is just space inefficient.

Eight days out from breaking my rib, I took my favourite bike out of the shed this afternoon for a wee ride, to see if by any chance I would be able to ride into Castle Douglas (40Km round trip) tomorrow to pick up my medicine.
I managed about two hundred metres.
The answer is 'no'.

I stopped by the vet's office today to pick up meds for the cat. This sign is down. You can see the disturbed concrete where it was mounted. This is the pole I would lock my bike to when I would stop by the vets.
I wonder if someone on their bike crashed into it and knocked it over ha ha, just kidding... I'm sure it was a car.

Weird saddles.

Any bike can be a cargo bike if you are determined enough.

Added Power Grips (pedal straps) to my wife's #Brompton. Not going to say it's my nicest work, but I'm hopeful that it'll hold. I only drilled holes through the plastic reflectors; the metal is all intact. I can change that later if needed. #BikeTooter
Do it!
"Now, Milwaukee officials are considering a $3.2 million plan to upgrade bike lanes and make other safety improvements on the high-profile street.
The west side of Second Street, between downtown and West Maple Street, would get a two-way protected bike lane. That would replace the unprotected bike lanes now running on both sides."

It’s been three weeks since spinal surgery so I did a little test ride around the neighborhood. Nothing impressive but, hey… gotta start small, right?

Is it inappropriate if I ask a woman to show me a photo of her bike?

Oof, after 17 (very active) years, this bike fender really doesn't want to come off. #BikeNerdStuff
I call this one: "Who needs a stick when we have car-brained people with giant vehicles".

When I'm grumpy, I forget that all I need is a bike ride.

I biked 6 miles this morning. Felt pretty good. My back didn’t seem to mind… I did have a little knee pain at one point. (Which is one of the reasons I switched to an ebike.)
I may wait a bit to try biking to work, especially since it’s supposed to be 90 °F next week. 😭

Today's bike ride to work sucked. Wearing a respirator for 30 minutes isn't very comfortable. I had to adjust it a few times and it was much worse breathing in the wildfire smoke so respirator it is.
I can only assume our climate will get worse as time goes on so I figured I might want to get used to this.

Lori seems a bit ableist with her road bike but Jake is always pretty cool.

The new construction on Lisbon Avenue has a separated bike lane next to the sidewalk.
So which is worse? People walking on the bike lane or people biking on the sidewalk?
(I am hoping they add “bike lane” paint labeling at some point.)

The sports medicine facility I go to for PT sent me a survey. The last question was a big text box to tell them about my experience so I wrote this:
“Overall a great experience. My only complaint is the bike rack in the parking structure that is super-cheap/poor quality and not even bolted down.”

You can check out the team names for the Riverwest 24 bike ride/race coming up next month...
(I should be able to 'unofficially' ride along for some of it this year.)

Earlier in the week I decided I should ride my bike to work on Friday... then today I was asked if I could be in by 7:30am on Friday.... can I do both? We'll find out tomorrow!

Am I too late for a #BikeNitePQ ?
My neighbor was complaining about squeaky disc breaks on his bike. I mentioned that I read you can use a high-grit sandpaper to sand the disc a bit and that might fix it... then I offered to help.
Does that work? Is it a good idea to try it?
