  1. I *FINALLY* finished the tune-up on my #bike - was down to just the cassette replacement when I absolutely got stuck and broke my whip. I had no desire to get to the point of shredding the flesh off my knuckles and making expensive sounds, and the kind folk at my local shop were able to help using the bench vise. So happy to be back on two wheels. I was nothing but smiles on my ride this morning. #cycling #bicycle #bikecommuting #yyj #yyjbike

  2. Check out phase 1 of the Esquimalt Road protected bike lane - concrete curbs, bollards, crossrides, treed medians, and connections to other bike routes. A great AAA upgrade on a main street. Nice work Esquimalt!🚲 #Esquimalt #yyjbike #bikesky

  3. We took a ride along the new Tolmie Avenue protected bike lane in Victoria, BC with cherry blossoms in bloom.

    This links the Galloping Goose Regional Trail with the Graham-Jackson bicycle boulevard and connects residential streets with a commercial area. #yyjbike #biketooter #victoriabc #bikelanes

  4. Two examples of good design and one example of bad design: Wheel/curb stops and bollards help prevent vehicle overhang and keep pathways safe and clear. The last photo shows what happens when they’re missing. #SafeStreets #biketooter #yyjbike #victoriabc #AccessibleStreets

  5. If you're looking for a #yyjbike ride this weekend, check out these cycling network maps from the City of Victoria. Hard copies are available at the bike valet (intersection of Broad St & Pandora Ave). The QR code also links to a web map with directions. #biketooter #bikevalet #bikelanes

  6. I was out on the #GallopingGoose today and saw a rather interesting contraption: A side by side tandem #recumbent trike. I also came across someone using a Burley Travoy (as a handcart not a trailer) I think that's the first time I've seen someone else with one (I wasn't towing mine at the time)

  11. A few photos showing progress on the Gorge Rd protected bike lanes in Victoria, BC. Eventually, this will enable riders to connect with AAA infrastructure in neighbouring municipalities (Saanich and Esquimalt). We also saw sections of raised cycle track and a continuous sidewalk just West of the Government St protected bike lane. #yyjbike #biketooter #bikelane #bikelanes #ProtectedBikeLane
