“By being sweet to the pedestrian and the cyclist you hit five birds with one stone — you get a lively city, you get an attractive city, you get a safe city, you get a sustainable city, and you get a city that’s good for your health” #bikes #transportNotSport thetyee.ca/Culture/2025...

Found another great use for my new bakkie bag: attaching this large plastic grocery bin to my rear rack. Makes hauling CAD500 of groceries pretty easy (I suppose the bucket on the UA helps too 🤪). #transportnotsport #yycbike @americanfietser.bsky.social

KMC has released pre-waxed 11 and 12 speed chains, as well as their own wax lubricant.
Are you the chain waxing-type? What are your thoughts?
I wish they would have released 9 and 10 speed versions. Imagining some #transportnotsport riders might consider using them. www.kmcgowax.com/en

yesterday as i was riding to work it dawned on me that daily #transportnotsport cycling is basically a type of personal pension plan
you make "payments" into your plan every time you bike
and you make "withdrawals" later in life in the form of increased health and quality of life

Cargo bikes are SUV's: Sustainable Utility Vehicles.
But it's not available accessories holding back wider adoption of them: The problem is cars-first city design and unsafe conditions that prevent people from #TransportNotSport cycling.

Long tail cargo bikes are game changers. They combine the maneuverability of traditional bicycles with the capacity of mid-sized cargo bikes.
As soon as a manufacturer adds a lockable trunk the automotive industry is in serious trouble.
Accessory manufacturers should not miss this opportunity.

I was one of the lucky riders to get a studded tire as part of @bikeedmonton.bsky.social's program, and with it officially wrapping up, I just want to say that committing to riding my bike in the winter has literally changed my life, and I would recommend it to anyone. Got a lot to say, so...

IMHO #TransportNotSport bikes should NEVER be spec'd with suspension components. Why?
- adds cost
- adds weight
- add complexity
But wait! There's more! -> Suspension forks need to be serviced regularly with most brands suggesting every 50hrs.
Who's got time for that? Or the inconvenience...

Yes, daily cycling can save you money on your transport costs. Even more important, that habit can make you fitter, happier, and create a deeper sense of connection to your community - arguably more valuable than the transportation monies saved.
