#BikeNite A3a: It's common practice in #WaterlooRegion to give a friendly ding on your bell when approaching pedestrians from behind. Some people acknowledge the ding by waving, or moving right, or even saying "Thanx for ringing!" But others ignore it completely, and often they have earbuds in. Don't know if the earbuds are noise cancelling, or if the noise coming out is simply too loud.
Ringing your bell for pedestrians is even on signs put up by the Region.

#BikeNite A1: Posting from #WaterlooRegion again.
I haven't really had any cases of mistaken identity, but I'm surprised at the cases of correct identity. Even when I'm cycling in a city of 500,000 I regularly run into people I know, both cyclists and pedestrians. With that many people, what are the chances?

The annual Vélo Canada Bikes Pedal poll is happening again!
"Canadian communities are seeing a surge in micromobility, creating both opportunities and challenges for planners, governments, industry and users. To capture a snapshot of these diverse travel modes, we are launching a new micromobility count taking place over five days between June 2nd and 7th, 2026.”
Help make this a success here in Waterloo Region!

#BikeNite A1: Joining a day late from #WaterlooRegion - spent Friday at the dentist, and spent BikeNite with a new hole in my head.
I have several bike lights with AA, AAA, and C batteries (and incandescent lamps!) and one LED light with a non-replaceable battery that charges through a USB port. I also have a new dynamo and front/back lights with more incandescent bulbs. I think they were gifts from my uncle decades ago. This year I'll get them mounted on my bike!

Kitchener Ontario Canada 8K | Breathtaking Cinematic Drone Tour 2026
This is delightfully cheeseball. Some dubious voiceover, strange choices of driving routes and ridiculous music, but there are some nice drone shots. And I don't get downtown nearly as much as I used to, so it's nice to see what's changed.

#BikeNite A5: I don't know of any cycling shows in or near #WaterlooRegion. Last year there was a #BikeFest in June which has the potential for growing into a cycling show; I'd like to see that.

#BikeNite A2a: In #WaterlooRegion we have #RecycleCycles *and* #RedRaccoonBikeRescue. Both recycle hardware and teach DIY, but neither has the facilities to build a frame. I took a welding class when I was still in school, and I've always wanted to build a tall bike, or a long bike, or a rail-trike or rail-quad. Still on the Bucket List.

#BikeNite A1: Finally back in #WaterlooRegion on SaturdayNite.
I knew Wednesday was Earth Day, and did see many people out on bikes, but Correlation != Causation.

Since the inception of public hospitals in Ontario, no government has undertaken privatization like this.The Ford government has announced almost $300 million for 61 new private surgical and diagnostic clinics. By Ford’s own numbers, this will redirect 1.2 million patients away from public hospitals. This is truly unprecedented privatization of our public hospitals’ core services.
While pouring our public money into more expensive for-profit clinics and hospitals, our local public hospitals have been pushed into deficit by the Ford government.
Our hospitals are not theirs to privatize
This is the first in a series of protests across Ontario to send a clear message that we will not let them privatize our public hospitals. Experience shows, if we can mount enough pressure we can stop Ford’s privatization.
Our goal is to inspire 10,000 Ontarians to come out. Let’s make a show of opposition that is equal to the threat.
Everyone who can join in matters.
Please note that our protests against hospital privatization are separate from the Fight Ford protests that are not organized by us.
Stay tuned for dates & locations in the fall.
