But how about your gas-powered vehicle comes with mandatory one/two bicycles?

This little speaker has given me a lot of joy and energy to push the pedals since I got it in 2018ish, and now the usb charging socket is getting unreliable and I am sad. Sony doesn't make this model anymore, and it was the perfect size & weight for cycling.

When thousands show up at Montreal city hall to protest Soraya's closing of bike lanes, maybe then she'll listen to the people. It worked in Copenhagen. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Garneau dot com has sale on their bib shorts. It's a popular bib short bc it's good quality. A few years ago I bought bib shorts from a varietry of different companies and most fell apart after a few washes! But not the garneau. I've bought several more since, completely satisfied.

City streets need a soul, human character, human scale, not a long wall of corporate storefronts, devoid of soul, character, and in some cases even people in the stores to greet you with a smile. Can cities be saved? Or are corporations the boss of us today, tomorrow, forever?

Billionaires can build new arenas with their own money, not my tax dollars. I want my tax dollars to build & operate public transport systems and a safe bike lane network so I and families across the city can travel safely without needing a car.

After a couple of weeks finding myself in agreement with his columns (aieee!), It's great I can finally go back to vehemently disagreeing with this tool columnist.

World's tallest steer, Beef, is a very big boy. Owner says he's "...a calm character. He's just a big yard dog."

Speaking of homemade bike-ride fuel, we also make this electrolyte & energy drink. Easy to make, inexpensive, tasty too. This drink gives us energy for hours 2,3,4,5,6,7,8 etc of the bike ride. Source (and why this is a scientifically-based electrolyte drink): www.roadbikerider.com/effective-di...

Today in crunchy-bar baking. As we've said many times, we tried many times over the years to find a good crunchy bar recipe for bike riding, and when we found this one we finally found the winner. Have made this recipe dozens and dozens of times. These are better in every way vs retail energy bars.

Turn off the news, and plan to be outside for the next few days. #RideThatBike

This book "Brutalism's Best Architects" is awesome. So much weirdness! Montreal's Habitat 67's modular stacked concrete cubes is in it, and is one of the more normal entries.

Two vintage 1970s Peugeots. They have varying levels of original parts. The one on the right still has the cottered 😱 cranks.

Handlebars are padded, and then padded some more. #BuiltForComfort

That goat on the right actually carried on a conversation with us. I can't speak fluent goat, but the goat didn't seem to mind.

Stop sign got hit, got back up, got on with doing its job.

Half this tree thinks it is October, the other half is "This is still September!"

Welcome to Hemmingford Township, please ride in single file.

Mom deer and the fawn.

If you see Louisiana Lt-Governor Billy Nungesser on his visit to Canada, be sure to say hello.

Speed cameras work. That is why Ontario Premier Doug Ford wants to interfere in city government and get rid of them, so his suburban base can drive at any speed without getting an automated ticket when they ignore the "speed-camera-ahead" sign and speed dangerously on city streets.

Photo. in LaPresse today says it is in Windsor, Québec, but the location is actually downriver in Richmond, Quebec.

We've done 27 Châteauguay Valley rural country-road rides so far in 2025. All of them bike paradise rides in the easy or one-hill category, medium to long distance, generally great road surface, lots of scenic quality, and of course low traffic roads. collection : ridewithgps.com/collections/...

Fall colours are arriving.

Montreal's chamber of commerce is still upset it doesn't get to choose who will be the mayor of Montreal, that the chamber doesn't run the city of Montreal anymore. #PeoplePower www.lapresse.ca/actualites/e...

We were in Canada and that wind turbine was in the USofA.

Big and little deers ahead.

Montreal was *not visible* from 555 chemin de Covey Hill road.Wesley United Church in Havelock. Usually it's visible from here.

Top of Covey Hill was still in the cloud when we got there, but by the time we got to Franklin at the far end of the hill the clouds had lifted and the sky had a lot of blue.

He's had 5am breakfast, regular breakfast, and now he wants us to know that he's ready for lunch, and is it ready?

Today's wildlife sightings were deers big and small, wild turkeys in large groups, geese flying south, northern flickers, a blue jay, and a hawk.

4 o'clock shadow.

Top-of-the-line destination.

Rockburn church always looks respectable.

Fall colours are arriving. Note the tree-tunnel on the road at the far left.

24 minutes to climb Covey Hill today. A few days ago it took us 4 minutes to come down the same hill. Fun fact: there is an oak forest as you reach the top of the climb.

Stream is dry. A few photos today of streams and brooks around Covey Hill & Rockburn.

Stream is not dry but also not flowing.

Stream is trickling.
