Great groups of cyclists slowed my way to work today, and I am TOTALLY okay with that. Saw over 100 other cyclists on my way to work today. I love crowds of cyclists!
I’m trying to get into the habit of taking a photo every day of something bikey … right now it’s with my old phone with not very good photo capabilities – but something is better than nothing, right? Today, I snapped a photo of Bay St, looking south from Wellesley. This has been an ever-changing [...]
In 2010, for a couple months, I did very unscientific counts of cyclists on my way in to work every morning. If a bike was being used, and I saw it, I counted it. I also made notes about what time I left home, what the temperature was, and what the weather was like. I [...]
One of my favourite parts of the internet is the animated radar map on theweathernetwork.com. The forecast can be for rain, but checking the radar, you can see if it’s a ton of rain or just intermittent rain – and perhaps plan your commute accordingly. I ride in the rain a lot, but most often [...]

It’s the end of April, so I decided to make a few charts. Everyone loves charts. First is the daily numbers and commuting temperatures: Next… I tracked the numbers based on what time I left the house (my start times vary at times)… you can see general increases as time goes on (and weather gets [...]
