Riding a bike makes me happy! Probably because it keeps me off social media. And cross country skiing is pretty cool too! Cycling advocate in YYC. My friends call me Jim. #yycbike

Today’s #yycbike commute kicked off “sizzlin’ bacon season”. Changed the front tire over to an Ice Spiker last night with the rear to follow in the next few days. (My no cursing, no levers, no blood streak is intact!) - sound on for the video

Busy day for #yycbike wildlife sightings. Counted on my ride this morning: 6 deer, 4 swans, 2 eagles and one coyote. Really enjoying these mild weather commutes but next weeks forecast signals that winter is coming…

Pathway construction update - paving was underway on the reconstructed Sandy Beach hill pathway on Saturday. Looked like they were close to finishing. Current re-opening date is Nov 25 and that looks likely. #yycbike

First set of Ice Spikers mounted for the season with no cursing (at tires or Nexus hub), no levers and no blood! Win, win, win! Still 3 more bikes to transition in the coming days so will see if the luck continues. #yycbike

Drivers: I know you think you’re doing cyclists a favour by stopping & waving us through an intersection while you’ve got right of way, but you really aren’t. You’re being unpredictable and screwing up the flow of traffic for everyone and just causing further delays for us to safely cross. Stop it.

spICY in spots this morning! Wasn’t expecting the freezing drizzle right out of the door (not on wxradar). Down jacket was a bit leaky until a sheet of ice formed over it, then okay. Only one sketchy bridge deck but had advanced warning so was walking when the bike went down. #yycbike

My commute may be longer than I’d ideally like but I can’t complain about the views along the way. Saw my eagle again (no picture) and inadvertently chased a small rabbit the entire length of the tunnel south of the Bonnybrook plant (I did slow down for him). #yycbike

With car dealerships once again lining the pockets of the UCP, I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that Dreeshen is floating increased speed limits.
