Pssst…anyone wanna buy a big red 🐄 for 4000 bucks? It’s not eligible for the storewide discount of course…but it’s awfully tempting if it does come down in price substantially 🤣

It is always suddenly about “green space” when people don’t want supportive housing or a shelter near them.
This land is zoned industrial, owned by the hospital, and will be used to house and treat people recovering from addictions. I support this project 100%

I wished so badly I could ride one...for the last 45 of my 50 years on 🌎

01.04.2025 01:17 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0That’s amazing news. I’m pretty sure i remember that one as well. Having a distinctive or unusual bike can be helpful sometimes!
28.03.2025 12:30 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0You and me both. It’s basically unavailable in this configuration and would cost a FORTUNE to replace with all the components and stuff. Soooo relieved!
28.03.2025 00:33 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0After we pretty much posted to Reddit around the same time this AM, I discovered my bike was kept safe and sound in the Games Workshop after being retrieved by the Magic Detective...connected via DM...and the pic is me reunited my my bike.
Big thanks to everyone who reached out to help me 🫡❤️🚲👊🏼
The thief (who was spotted by the magic detective) happened to be both shoeless and shirtless!?!? Anyways he bailed on the bike, ate dirt, ran off into the sunset, and left my bike in the middle of the Coliseum Theatre parking lot.

Yours truly in bright orange trousers holding my unstolen bike in the air triumphantly in front of Games Workshop!
So #ottbike and Reddit Ottawa came through big by reuniting me with my trusty winter bike that I thought was long gone around 7:00 PM last night. I've since deleted the original stolen bike post as Games Workshop's very own r/DetectiveMagicMan recovered it and alerted the world.
27.03.2025 23:07 — 👍 80 🔁 2 💬 3 📌 1As I have recovered my bike, will delete this post now. Thanks for all your help...a new post is forthcoming!
27.03.2025 23:04 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0A buddy suggested I post on Reddit and just as I hit send on my post...saw your message and refreshed Reddit and saw my Hero's post.
A triumphant "bike returned" pic is forthcoming.
That's my only solace in this case...dude must have some pretty serious sores on his feet as a result!
27.03.2025 02:02 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Yes, it was sadly unlocked but kept inside the front entrance next to the carts for no more than 60 seconds...that's all it took sadly as I popped in quickly to grab a couple of things. It's just shocking how bold and quick people are when you least expect it!

First #SpotTheHeron for yours truly near the Bank St. Bridge usual location. Earliest spotting for me!
And 100m later…I spotted ANOTHER HERON!

The gooses are back! First sighting of 2025 at the usual first sighting spot amongst the ice floes on the Rideau at the Minto Bridges.
❤️
It doesn't matter...it's always 2 weeks later than when I think it will be ready. I personally think Easter long weekend...and hope it isn't going to be Victoria Day!
14.03.2025 19:51 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Yup, it is always packed when I've taken it...luckily the 57 is another option and it tends to be less busy (but still a well-used route).
12.03.2025 16:42 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0This has been the bane of my existence for the last 27 years (at least that's how long it seems I've been able to do a fully uninterrupted/non-detoured ride from the locks at Parliament to Watts Creek on NCC Paths). The Westboro beach detour has been such a nightmare for #ottbike and I hope it ends!
12.03.2025 16:39 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I really loathe that these times are geared to morning people...there are shift workers and non-morning types (like me 🙋🏻♂️) who simply aren't going to find the 0800-1200 weekend times useful at all. I do hope the Summer Zone does come back because 0800-2000 on QED on weekends is a pittance!
12.03.2025 15:12 — 👍 4 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0This would be the type of induced demand I could get behind!
12.03.2025 15:06 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I can safely say most of the paths are almost unusable for anyone without studded tires (like yours truly) because they're all covered with super slick black ice patches everywhere. Of course the roads are fine! For my 🏃♂️ last night, I was mostly on the roads for this very reason...
12.03.2025 15:05 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0This is golden information! Bridge Mix vs Bridge Mixture 🤯
11.03.2025 13:01 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0They have amazing prices! I go to the OG one in the Market and also checked out the fancy one at their HQ on Walkley. The Wellington location will be quite handy for my travels through the neighbourhood.
10.03.2025 13:56 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0That's amazing intel regarding the proper bridge mix. How can you tell the real deal from the awful "improved" kind I was shocked to discover at Metro. The packaging seemed identical...

Today, the House GOP censured me for speaking out for the American people against @POTUS’s plan to cut Medicaid. I accept the consequences of my actions, but I refuse to stay silent in the face of injustice. #WeShallOvercome x.com/repalgreen/s...
