February 22, 2011 By Leave a Comment
RateMyVelo3

James Schwartz, Toronto cyclist and founder of the Urban Country has a great new project on the go - Rate My Velo, a rating site for bicyclists. The site is set up so people can look at 2 photographs of regular people in regular clothes riding regular bikes, and vote on which photo they like the best.  It's a great way to get the point across that not every cyclist on the road is training for the Tour de France.  The vast majority of us are just getting around the city.

roncybump

A few weeks ago we shared a construction photo of the new streetcar/bikelane infrastructure on Roncesvalles Ave... essentially the road rises up to sidewalk level at some streetcar stops to not only allow easier streetcar boarding, but allow cyclists safe passage (ie. not having to ride on the streetcar tracks to pass the streetcar stop). Now, shared on the City of Toronto's Cycling Facebook group is a photo of the (almost) completed "bump-out"... all it needs now is signage and pavement … [Read more...]

Technical skill is important as they have to ride in tight quarters with each other but navigate around or through obstacles like barriers, roots, and ruts. Some barriers such as low walls or even stairs force riders off the bike making running and jumping a key … [Read more...]
