  1. I was biking up the #HamOnt Cannon track this morning to work. Driver ran a stop-sign in front of me. I *almost* stopped in time but hit his back tire & went down. I'm fine, bike's mostly fine.

    Please look *both ways* crossing Cannon. The cycle track isn't new.

    He just kept on driving.

  2. I would love to have a stack of cards I can hand out to e-curious folk, with a list of reliable-and-affordable #ebike lines on one side and reputable e-bike financing options on the other.

    Just because some bikes are expensive doesn't mean they all are!

  6. @saintpaulbike.bsky.social - it would be great if you shared a link to your excellent newsletter to bluesky when you publish an issue.

  7. chat, #bikesky, I am not sure how to google for this, so I will ask here: are there standards for bike frame mounts? like the lil bosses that pepper a fancier frame for places to put random cages, etc...? does "four pack" mean anything?

  8. With today being so nice out, I biked almost 78 kilometres in Mississauga to check out the Nine Creeks Trail, the new QEW Credit River bridge, and the new Jim Tovey Conservation Area. You can read more on my blog. #BikeTO #BikeMississauga #BikeSky www.twowheeledpolitics.ca/2026/06/nine...

  11. I'm doing a singletrack (mountain bike) ride thing for MSP. Focus on daytime rides, tent called Old Gear Singletrack (mountain bike).

    3 pieces - shared public calendar, chat service, simple web.

    I'm curious what others with ride coordination experience think of approach (below) ...

  12. So, $200CAD from FB Marketplace, and then some elbow-grease and tools to fix it up and transfer the panniers from my old winter-beater, and I have a nice lightweight backup commuter. First time ever owning a full roadbike (my main is gravel). Just awaiting the kickstand from AliExpress. #bikesky

  18. The bike lockup at work is closing for renos so I bought a road bike from FB to protect my fave bike from outdoor locking... But it has these MTB SPD clipless pedals that are also shaped like normal MTB pedals with big rubber pedal things? But you can't really use them as without clips... #bikesky?

  19. As an Old I get asked to health surveys that always ask if I've fallen lately. Yesterday I mistook an overgrown gap jump for a table top and TACOd my front wheel. So, yeah, there was a fall there. But I think this leaves the wrong impression ... #bikesky

  23. Here's a nice story from Andrew (a.k.a. Cardiac Cyclist) about how one of his videos from last fall inspired a fellow cyclist to improve the West Luther Trailway west of Orangeville. Wished GO Transit would run buses there on weekends. #BikeTO #CycleON #BikeSky www.youtube.com/watch?v=3E6l...

  29. Anecdotal, but I know a couple of incidents of drivers running over local cyclists due to phone distraction. That’s not new. What’s new is that in all cases the drivers eyes could not be seen due to tinted glass. We cyclists rely heavily on seeing driver eyes to identify distraction. #bikesky

  30. In the very early aughts I worked mornings in an independent coffee shop, downtown in one of the southeast's biggest cities. I was offered a parking pass, but I said I wouldn't need a it because I'd be coming in by bike or bus. Thought nothing else of it until a few weeks in... 🧵 #BikeSky

  32. This is a #bikesky #msp question. How much interest is there in the St Paul / Minneapolis metro for weekday *daytime* singletrack small group rides? Would be, I assume, mostly retired men …

  33. Not a fan of tinted glass in cars. Got hit today. No hurts or even bike scrapes. Phone distraction. Thing is, I couldn’t see his eyes cuz tinted glass. I rely on seeing driver eyes. I’d have yelled to get his attention before entering crosswalk then. Anyone else seeing this problem? #bikesky
