Sometimes when I’m riding I feel like I have a certain superhero power. Which turns out isn’t all that super. Because I’m not made of steel. And even if I could find a use for this superpower… …it still wouldn’t solve anything. Invisibility is dangerous. I want drivers to see me, I want their attention. […]

It’s almost winter. The weather has been changing and there have been some pretty rainy days. While the weather’s gross and I have other transportation options, I still end up on my bike. I’ve been told I’m weird, but it’s all relative. Everybody’s bad weather commute has an element of the ridiculous. And […]

There has been a move to build more infrastructure for cyclists here. However, with limited space on the road, this comes at a cost… which has local businesses concerned. But there is the issue. How can you tell how you tell a driving customer from a walking customer from a biking customer? Especially when a cyclist is […]

Recently I went on a little vacation- one of those hastily planned ones that involves grabbing your passport and getting out on the road. I headed for Montreal, with no knowledge of the city or research under my belt. Sometimes these are the best vacations, because they let you feel like you really “discovered” something […]
