Time to start planning your bike lights for the darker months. Have fun with it. You'd be amazed at how much joy it brings to your ride.

So much fun riding around St Paul tonight, dumb dangerous concrete bollards back blocking the Shepard bike path not withstanding.

Thanks to @joyfulridersclub.bsky.social for bringing the party!

"Though robotaxis have notched up impressive growth, they look ploddingly pedestrian compared with far zippier pedal-powered rivals. [Waymo] proudly proclaims that its cars do around 250k trips a week. Yet in NYC alone that number of trips is made every three days using the city’s bikeshare scheme."

Wow! Montreal’s public bike share system (BIXI) was featured in the TIME Best Inventions Hall of Fame for 2008, not far from the iPhone and Google Street View.

While not the very first bike sharing system, it was one of the earliest and it was the model for many other systems, from NYC to London.

Them: What are you doing this weekend?

Me: Doing a 100-mile bike ride with some friends.

Them: Wow, you must be a great athlete and in such good shape.

Me: I am going to eat 10 cider donuts during the ride.

Side-by-side tandems are a game changer for people who, for whatever reason, can no longer cycle independently.

Thanks to the bike and a buddy (often a volunteer) these people can get moving again.

Besides a lot of cycling happiness, this also benefits physical and mental health!
