I'm doing about 30 kph and get overtaken by someone on an Aventon level 3 ebike capable of going 45 kph (28 mph). I've seen these on MUPs going that speed or close to it. #ottbike

@bikeviewca.bsky.social, do you know if this section on Carling in Kanata has been widened? #ottbike

I can see Jamie's posts, it's this one that's breaking the thread for me.

You don't get this kind of interaction with a child sitting in the back seat of a car, because all they see is this. This toddler probably already has a mental map of their neighbouhood and the video is so adorable.

Or Bamboo trikes.

Like Bamboo bikes?

Hiph powered pencil shapener and apple peeler?

Seen on my ride this morning on Watts Creek pathway. #ottbike #ottbird

You can't spell CARnage without car. Hunt Club at Lancelot #autowa

#autowa douchebag in their douche mobile runs a very late red light. They're going to kill someone someday. I always do shoulder checks here because of dangerous idiots like this. (Holly Acres at 417 on ramp). #RoadViolence #ThatCyclistCameOutOfNowhere

Grocery Getter:

This is Watts Creek MUP just past Corkstown, but there are other areas with dry mud on the pathway following a major rain fall a few days earlier, including some curves at bottom of hills. These will get very dirty and slippery the next few rain falls. Be vigilent #ottbike #velogat

This is the MUP at Maitland stroad T intersection. I could have crossed quicker, but saw cyclist approaching from the MUP on oposite side, and also a car 50/50 chance of turning right. So I took a bit of extra time to give the cyclist a chance to cross first. Anyone else do this? #LookingOutYou

Crews were also out assessing the train tracks near here this morning. A few spot where the railroad ties and foundation were washed away.

OOHAY!!

There are a few of these on the pathway along Ceriderview near Baseline and the railway underpass. No pylons or anything, so I'll report it to the city. #ottbike

This sinkhole is on the pathway past the train tracks heading towards March Rd. It's right across the pathway now. A few people portaged their bikes across on the left hand side. A runner hopped down/up the sinkhole. There's a barricade at the Burke St turn off. #ottbike #ottrun

Ok, so the sinkhole is on the pathway right at Richmond/John Sutherland Dr. (red X at bottom on the map). Pathway inaccessible at both ends (red line). Detour up Richmond, left on Holly Acres (take wide sidewalk on Holly Ares and avoid riding with drivers in construction area - blue line) #ottbike

and if analog it's good enough for Dr. Who's Tardis...

And the final piece of the puzzle. 😁

For when your panniers need replacing.

Happened not too long ago. Paul Anka/McCarthy Rd. Driver leaving the Metro apparently hit the gas instead of the brake and flew into the Hunt Club Community Center parking lot hitting a car. Lots of kids hanging out around here, luckily no one was seriously injured. #autowa

Do you know exactly where along Watts Creek pathway? There are a few spots that come out onto Carling and another that makes its way down to March Rd. near Corkstown Rd.

Throw Back Thursdays. Who remembers these? They were a blast. #TBT

No, no, no. You get a free presto card with $0 preloaded, but you get the same level of transit service at the same fare prices.

It's hot out there. If you're out for Canada Day festivities, stay hydrated**. Drink plenty of water or other hydration drink. **Alcohol is a potent diuretic that actively dehydrates your body. #HOttawa

LetBikeOttawa Collective. - 595,400 KM logged, 19,847 KM per day - 2771 people logging at lease 1 ride, that's 7.2km/per day/person on average. Even small tips make a difference. - 449 car trips per day saved ** This is only a small percentage of people who actually biked in June. #ottbike

My @letsbikeottawa.bsky.social numbers. #ottbike

That's quite the ratio.
