Sounds like this wheel needs to get squeakier.

This rider is well adept at riding their unicycle. Yes, a studded tire is involved.
I think I've only ever seen this rider on a 2 wheeled bike once, in all the years I've known of them and crossed their path.

And this comes as no surprise to anyone who rides a bike year round in Autowa.

Hey @mayormarksutcliffe.bsky.social Scott Street's cycle tracks are a) in the winter cycling network, and b) in the "ploughed within four hours of accumulation stopping" bracket of your organization's snow clearing timelines. Get on it, pal.

Oh, I see, of course, the sidewalk is done but not the bike lane.
Typical Autowa shit then.

I checked the traffic cams at midnight last night, only 2 worked, but the main portions of the paths looked plowed. The intersections are always garbage tho, esp IPD.

Did they "miss" sections?

Who else would it be?! 😁

Not a chance. The city has said they won't keep the bridge open.
That photo is probably from a rainy day last week.

I hope you reported the bike lane of snow to the city?

Preparations were being made all this week.
I'm willing to bet the gates are closed now.

Just listened to @shadkmusic.bsky.social 's new album, Start Anew.
That's some good vibes right there. Gonna take a few more listens to hear it all.

With the first snowfall arriving in #Ottawa, I really wish we'd make it standard that for areas w/ complex/hard-to-plow surfaces (stairs/bus stops/bike racks/etc) we'd install heating (w/ permeable pavement) to melt snow and keep things clear & safe.

FYI, the new bridge at Kiweki Point is heated!🔥

Studded tires went on the winter bike on Thursday.
Just in time.
Haven't dug out the snow boots yet tho.

Thinking I'll get another fresh wreath from the Market tree vendor again this year. So the first weekend in December.
I'm in no rush.

Hey #Autowa, I know it's tough to notice while staring at your phones, but it's snowing outside.
Maybe you could, oh I dunno, TURN ON YOUR LIGHTS?

So many incognito grey, white, and black vehicles out there today. The responsibility of being seen is shared yanno!

a man with a beard wearing a blue hat and a black shirt is making a funny face . Alt: A Black man wearing a ball cap gives the camera an impressed face with a nod, as he sways back and forth with the camera.

I just bought so many spice jars at the dollar store, the cashier asked me if I needed the receipt, he assumed I needed it for work.
I said no, I'm redoing my spice cabinet, I hoped I had enough.
He hit me with this look:

I introduced my Turkish coworker to static spray yesterday, her skirt was trying to be pants and I could tell she was uncomfortable.
As I sprayed her down, she said, 'You mean there's a product for this problem?' 'Yeah, this is anti-static spray!'
She said 'Only in Canada! 😂'

😆

There's lots of signage and associated debris in the Scott EB bike lane, on the west half. Plow operators will most likely just plow around it all.
Sure would be nice if this city had safety standards.

It has arrived... ❄️

Oh hey #ottbike, just a reminder: if you're riding EB on Scott from Churchill to about Smirle today, there's lots of signage and associated debris, as well as a hubcap somewhere, in the bike lane. Plus the gravel at Winona. The snow is gonna be an issue.

Gonna have a perfect ride to the beer store today, just because I can. #frostbike

In a snow storm? In the dark?
That seems dumb.

And Salt N Pepa!!

Headwind *zeilen straat* Championships in this case.

K.I.S.S.

Uh, I'm pretty sure that's my eloquent message. 👀🫣

No thank you, because you see, NO.

The City tells me my service request was attended to on Oct. 30, and these signs were not there at that time.
I disagree.

Date range: Oct. 17 to today.

Alt text: 4 photos of the same collection of temp traffic advisory signs, blocking a bike lane and sidewalk.

Pffttt.... Ain't nobody got time for that!

What's with rain covers that don't take into account that rain doesn't fall straight down?!?
