Wasn't a bike bus day today but saw lots of kids biking nonetheless despite the chill this morning. Was able to stop and help one having issues with their chain, one of those things where the more people using the trails is actually better.

After visiting Ireland and then coming home to yardwork, I may or may not be researching the legality of owning a pair of miniature sheep in HRM.

I hate that we prioritize drive-thrus over people ordering inside. Watching 10+ drivers who didn't even arrive until after you made your order get their food before you makes no sense to me.

I don't really understand the speed limit standards in Ireland. 100km/h on narrow roads with no shoulders, blind turns/hills every 100m and sheep and people roaming around every corner. I'll go half that, thx.

Helped organize my 20 year high school reunion a few weeks ago and, as much as that statement makes me feel old, it was actually a pretty chill, fun and well-received event, with a decent turnout (100+), so kind of looking forward to the next one already.

I definitely would but unfortunately I can't make it today. If anyone is heading that way from Dartmouth this afternoon/evening, especially Waverley/Woodlawn area I could load them up.

$25 for 60, was actually about 20% cheaper than when I got the bike bus ones printed

Ya they're vinyl, got them printed at the MSVU print shop, pretty reasonable prices

Still not home yet, my 5yr old biked to school, biked to the pump track, did some laps, biked to the bbq, biked back to the pump track, and probably doing laps now til sundown since a dozen of his classmates are here.

On the flip side, if it was only the MacDonald open, it'd be perfect for getting footage of passing traffic on a bike.

Wasn't perfect, of course someone blocked the entrance to one of the trails we use with their poorly parked truck... sigh

MWES Bike Bus was back in action this morning, I think our biggest ride yet! Great to see new kids out and returning kids back with more confidence after a summer of riding! Lots of excited chatter before the ride.

Ya very likely us! Fairly sure we had our best turnout yet this morning. Waiting to get some pics from parents, but very happy to be back.

My neighbour is trying to sell a pretty cool looking Mission Trike Trailer. Told them I'd share it around. Looks like a nice and stable way to haul a passenger and cargo.

My five year old says he's too old to ride on the back of the cargo bike, which like I assumed would come at some point but feels a little early.

I like to pretend after fitting in enough tables for twelve families in six car spots they still had the room to purposefully leave these end markings visible for bike parking.

Been solo potty training my youngest the last two days, which isn't a very outside compatible activity.
Very excited to get out of the house tomorrow. Maybe a bike in the morning, Wanderers game later, sounds in order.

Feeling like crap lately and realizing how much I lean on incidental activity while commuting my kids by bike (currently stunted by trail closures).
Off to go for a run.

I will say Tony came out and supported our first bike bus ride.
From what I understand, he was a big proponent of the Shubie Pump Track too, I've seen him down there riding it.

I see Andy's given up on Mayoral Bike Rides and Tony has had to move to Deputy Mayor Bike Rides.
