In the Netherlands, we have the OV-fiets system, seamlessly connecting bike rental to train travel. On small stations, there's a bike rental 'vending machine'. Scan your public transport card, and it offers you a bike. On returning the bike, the machine asks if it was in good condition. Brilliant!

Had all my three newbies from Ride 2 Work day last month, all back again on the bike bus today! Makes me happy 😊
There were so many weeks over the last year where it was just me cycling to work alone after waiting and no one showing up. I guess stubborn persistence finally paid off.

Today felt like this. Nothing went as I would have wanted or planned. Anyway, why do flat tires always happen when you’re furthest from home. 😞

It was about 70°F when I got off work today, so a little spin around town was definitely in order for a mental enema.

Today’s view from my handlebars- matched my previous record for longest fair weather bike commuting season. Likely breaking that record tomorrow. ❤️🚴♂️🤞

a lot more bicycles

than in western cities like Toronto

If you're into really big tires and you're looking for the ultimate do it all touring and commuting truck, then a @surlybikes.bsky.social Ogre like this one might be your happy place to go. Upgraded it with sturdy fenders, super bright dynamo lights and a solid rack.
