"Cranksgiving" is becoming an annual tradition! This year we took the GO train to Burlington and cycled back to Toronto, fuelling ourselves with bagels & burgers along the way. #BikeTO #BikeON #bikesky @bromptonbicycle.bsky.social @gotransit.bsky.social @jsquaredink.bsky.social

Our final ride on the Rhine River Cycle Route was this stretch of the Middle Rhine with lots of castles! We rode the entire 71 kms and it was beautiful despite the rain. #travelbybike #brompton #bikesky

In Basel, Switzerland today, enjoying the many Velostrasses, eating pistachio croissants, and finding gothic bathrooms under bridges.

These bikes get us places we’d never be able to get to by any other means of transportation. For example, here are some shots from the Rhine River Trail in Switzerland - spots that are hike or bike access only! #Brompton #biketravel

We began the Rhine River Cycle Route from the TOP today - Oberalppass, Switzerland. Here we are in front of the lighthouse that matches the one at the end of the route in the Netherlands where the Rhine flows into the sea. #biketravel #bikepacking #bromptonbicycle

We had 5 friends over for brunch today. We don't have a garage or a driveway, and if anyone had been driving a car, we'd have no parking spaces for them. But for 5 folded Bromptons? Yes, we have space! Bring them in! #Brompton #foldingbikes #carfree

When the clinic says someone has to pick me up b/c I can't drive after the procedure, but my partner has neither a car nor a driver's license... So we borrow a #cargobike from our friends at Pedaal! www.pedaal.com #ActiveTransportation #BikeTO #CarryShitOlympics 👀 picture 125lbs of ME in the bucket

We voted! Plus, two separate people at the voting station noticed my Brompton and struck up a conversation with me about their Bromptons! Love how this odd little bike creates social interaction. #votebybike

Last Friday was the #CriticalMass "Get Out The Vote" ride. Obviously, the election didn't pan out like we hoped. I predict a lot more political rally rides in our future, #BikeTO.

Current state of the Bloor bike lane just west of Bathurst St. @cityoftoronto.bsky.social's app says it was plowed in the last 4 to 8 hours, but it's definitely NOT. The star is where I took the photo... #BikeTO
