This 13km #errandonnee was also brought to you by bike infra: traffic calmed neighbourhood bikeways, fully protected lanes, & the seawall. Even got to ride the #GranvilleConnector AGAIN on the way downtown. 3/3

Also needed to pick up a large swath of linen from Dressew for making @donnamatrix.bsky.social 's birthday present. & then had to stop by #BikeYVR 's latest tourist attraction, the @visionzerovancouver.ca billboard, designed by the brilliant @tomflood.bsky.social of Rovelo Creative. 🤓 2/3

I love online orders with local pickup--great excuse for a quick bike ride! Hit @samsaracycle.bsky.social to pick up (yes, ANOTHER) leopard print thing. (Did you know they have a 30% off sale right now? 👀👀) Great timing 😂 --I don't think I'll need to wear this windbreaker for over a week! 🥵 1/3

Dropped off a hand-me-down baby/kid chair for our friends. Nice day for a ride & a good excuse for a little #CarryShitOlympics post. 😜

I mean, maybe *he* can't use a bike to haul whatever quantity of lumber he's buying, but I don't know why that should stop the rest of us. 😂

I've had my Tern GSD S10 for SIX years today. 🎂 Celebrated by running errands. 😜 In 24,105km, I've carried many many different passengers, so many loads of groceries, & random awkward stuff like today's mostly full keg of beer.

#GettingStuffDone by cargobike on my @ternbicycles.com #GSD: recycling run. We had accumulated a lot of empties with deposits, some outgrown kids clothes to donate, an old printer, plus some soft plastics & styrofoam, so we loaded up the bikes & brought it down to the depot.

#GettingStuffDone by cargobike on my @ternbicycles.com #GSD: Grocery pickup. Guy who brought out my groceries didn't think I'd get it all on the bike. Haha! This is nowhere near my biggest load. 😜

Had an awesome #CyclingWithoutAge ride this morning, featuring a ukulele serenade: "A Bicycle Built for Two" 😍

Yeah, I see this in a lot of towns in BC too. Thankful every day for the people who fought the highway expansion through downtown Vancouver a few generations ago. This is what the old proposed highway route looks like instead:

Sometimes #CarryShitOlympics just happens to you... Was at a friend's place for a clothing swap (brought 2 Ikea bags of clothes!!) & her neighbour was selling a countertop dishwasher! So of course I biked home with a dishwasher. 🤣

I love carrying my Brommie on another bike! It actually*just* fits in the panniers of our Tern GSD & Yuba Mundo. 🤓 Before I got a bikeshare membership, I used to use it to drop off/pick up our cargobikes from the shop.

Okay, I think I know what my most valuable load was. Got a rear flat & I'd rather have a ridiculous cargo bike ride than change the flat myself! So I carried my GSD 2.5km to my LBS.

Bahaha, reminds me of when I picked up a friend's new air conditioner & delivered it by bike. I got it to my place on the rack of my GSD, but it was up to my shoulders & not super stable. 🤪 I switched to my old acoustic bakfiets to bring it to my friend's place. Thankfully mainly downhill. 🫠

Ooh, I've never thought about the dollar amount that I've fit on my bike... I love riding with big awkward loads though. One of my faves: two air purifiers & my almost-8-year-old 😁

Got a pic of hitting 23,000km on my @ternbicycles.com GSD today! *Forgot* to get a pic of my bestie @donnamatrix.bsky.social riding as passenger as it's become so routine lately. 😘 You can see her leg in the background & the fleece she bought from the fibre event we went to.

Wow, that was a journey... @garthmullins.bsky.social is an incredibly engaging storyteller, weaving his memoir & the history of drug prohibition on the west coast over the past few decades.
Go get 'Crackdown: Surviving & Resisting the War on Drugs' at a local bookstore, or borrow it--VPL has it!

The parking lot is open so cyclists can dodge potholes, sawhorses, & loose gravel instead of pedestrians now. 🤪

I used to post bike selfies All The Time... but I got out of the habit in the last while. @americanfietser.com reminded me that it is important to just show what living car-free/car-lite can look like, so here's a Costco Run. My husband is kinda done with being in selfies though. 😂
