Morning. "Forever Bicycles" by Chinese artist and activist Ai Weiwei. This art installation is travelling around the world and it is currently at The Forks in Winnipeg.

A cream coloured house to the left with a black railing. There is a bike leaning on it. The house to the right is a yellow/orange colour. A fence stands in the middle with another red tiled house to the back. The sea is a light blue colour.

I broke a spoken and nearly got stung by a wasp, but moments like this makes my bike commute worthwhile.

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!

This is the SMALL bike parking garage next to Utrecht Centraal Station. Free for 24 hours. With a bike repair shop, a few hundred OVfiets rental bikes, and a 24/7 secure, staffed parking lot for 4,200 bikes.

The new lot on the other side of the station holds 11,500 bikes.

As I was unlocking my bike after shopping at the supermarket yesterday a guy pulled up on this ebike with this adorable dog in the rear basket!

A reminder that even in neighborhoods without great bike infrastructure people still use bicycles to help live their lives better.

#Boston #Dorchester

A white electric bicycle stands beside a bike rack. On the back of the bike is a large black plastic crate. A small dog stands in the crate with its front paws on the bike saddle, looking at the camera through its shaggy coat, panting with its tongue hanging out.

Many things can be said about this, but worth noting that he'd probably be locked up right now if he'd not been riding a step-through bike.

See for yourself how this passing flag helps encourage safe driving. As many drivers approach they pause, giving them time to analyze and make safer choices while driving around my bike.

Today I was denied service in the drivethru at Huntington Bank on Lex & Uni in StP. Manager said only car drivers are allowed.

I've been banking by bike here for 10 years with no problem. Will be escalating this thru management. Possibly StP needs a new ordinance.
