I tried a new bike route to work today. I originally planned this due to some upcoming road closures but I really like it!
Minimal contact with cars and busy roads (except for the last 1.4 miles) and I get to use the new separated bike lane on Lisbon Avenue.

The bike lane is a great place to store these barrels when the speed limit is 35mph and cars tend to go 40 mph.
Last night I said "screw it" and used the sidewalk. I am against biking on the sidewalk (and it's illegal here) but if the provided (crappy) infrastructure isn't even available I'll do it.

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

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!

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.

Good afternoon #BikeNYC #BikeTooter. Gorgeous day out there, make sure you've got your official #NYC garbage bin before the June 1st deadline!

A blue midtail cargo bike (a Yuba Kombi with a battery and custom (Bafang BBS02) motor. Attached to the rear is a 45gal black garbage bin. Behind the bike, there's the world's shittiest bike rack, and the generic stone wall and windows of a big box hardware store.
An overhead shot of me over the bike. White-ish guy with a blue shirt, white helmet, glasses, and stubble. Behind me is the rear rack of the bike (and a pannier), dwarfed by the big garbage bin.
Another side view of the cargo bike, from the opposite side. A black pannier is attached to the rear rack, which has a ring (for kids to hold onto ) and a little black pad (for kid butts). A bungee is hooked between the metal bar of the garbage bin and the bottom of the bike, and another cord goes around the outside of the bin. The bin reads "trash". Bhine the bike, a red brick wall and foliage.
Front/side view of the bike, which is parked w/ the kickstand up. There's a black battery nestled between the down front tubes, a flat squat pannier (containing the garbage bin wheels and misc other stuff), and the bin on this side reads "New York City Dept Of Sanitation"

#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.
#NYCParksDepartment

A wooded area next to a fence (next to the Queens Zoo entrance). A long wheel-bender bike rack, maybe 12ft long, with cobblestone underneath. Two cargo bikes (mid-tail or longtail) are parked on either end of the rack, basically the only usable spots on the rack. Kid seats are installed on the rear of both bikes.
Same rack with the two cargo bikes locked, but now there's a *third* cargo bike (my blue Yuba Kombi) attached to it. My bike is locked in the middle, and I have a smaller kids' bike attached to my bike, so I'm literally taking up THE ENTIRE SIDE of the bike rack. The smaller bike is attached to my rear rack by its front wheel, with the rear wheel of the kids' bike on the ground.

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'.

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

The right side pedal. The red Brompton is folded up (doesn't even really look like a bike), but the right crank has a normal-looking pedal with a black strap on it. The metal hardware attachment has screws going through the orange plastic reflector of the pedal. The bike's on a white rug w/ black line pattern.
The opposite side of that same right pedal. You have a better view of the opposite side of the orange reflector, with nuts and washers attached to the bolts that go through it. The red folding bike it's attached to is just a jumble of stem, wheel, drivetrain, etc.
The left-side pedal (and behind it, the brompton logo on the red frame). The pedal is folded up so that it is parallel to the crank arm. The orange reflector is missing from the exposed side of the pedal. Of the two screws that held the reflector in, one is missing (just an empty screw hole), and the other is screwed into the end of the black Power Grip strap.
The other side of the left pedal. This time the pedal is unfolded (so it's perpendicular to the crank arm), and the plastic grey reflector mount is installed but only one side is screwed in. The orange reflector is actually missing, and underneath you can see the silver Power Grips attachment hardware. Though normally you'd have two screws holding the attachment hardware in, there's only one screw there; the grey reflector mount is on top of it, pinching it down to hold it in place. Essentially…

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.

#BikeTooter #Mixte

An old, rusty, beat-up red/pink bicycle locked up to a yellow wave rack. The bike has a mixte frame with lots of paint chips (easily 30 years old). However, the wheels are newer, the silver fenders look brand new, the saddle is only a few years old, and the swept-back handlebars replace the original drop bars and also look custom and new-ish. Clearly a very well-loved bike (I suspect older than its owner!) Oh yeah, the original derailleurs and shifters were removed, and it's now a single-speed.

Oof, after 17 (very active) years, this bike fender really doesn't want to come off. #BikeNerdStuff

A rear (bicycle) drop-out, with a hand next to it. In the hand, a washer and a very rusty bolt that has a clean silver shear where it has broken in half. In the bike frame, there's a clean bolt (attached to a rack strut) and a bump next to it (with a lot of dirt) that is the other half of the broken bolt.

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.

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. 😭

So which is worse? People walking on the bike lane or people biking on the sidewalk?

Does that work? Is it a good idea to try it?
