The ride home

March 5, 2009

Yesterday I found a neato handlebar camera mount at Urbane Cyclist, that looks a bit more secure than strapping my mini tripod to the handlebars. I put it on outside the shop and made a time lapse movie of the rest of my ride home.

The Bikes of Winter

February 14, 2009

Last summer’s spike in dangerously clueless newbie cyclists riding the wrong way in the bike lane on Queen’s Quay has been followed by rows and piles of bicycles abandoned in snowdrifts this winter (I guess people got where they were going before the first snowstorm hit, and took the streetcar home).   I’ve been following one particular bike down the street since December.

I wonder what’s the best formula for waxing  your chain if you’re going to store your bike inside a snowbank?

It’s a global epidemic: see the Bicycles in the Snow pool on Flickr.
