Ottawa Cycling Unsafe and Dangerous for Cyclists

I woke up this morning to read about two cyclists getting into accidents with vehicles (CBC news story below). What an awful occurrence! Unfortunately, the losers in these collisions are always the cyclists. I don’t know the individuals involved nor do I know how the accidents...

Ottawa Cycling – ...

In my most recent post I talked about the much touted bicycle event that was to take place today here in Ottawa: Go Green, Go Dutch, Go Bike. Nasty (I mean NASTY!) weather could not deter some of Ottawa’s most die hard (eco-friendly) cyclists. Among them were myself, my wife...

On Sunday May 31, Ambassador Geerts of the Netherlands will officially kick off the Go Green, Go Dutch, Go Bike (Ottawa) event. This year everyone is invited to participate and bike together with Ambassador Geerts and Ottawa City Councillor Clive Doucet, who is very pleased to...

Cycling in Montreal ...

Montreal is only a couple of hours away by car from Ottawa. You’d think that Helen & I would cycle there frequently. Unfortunately this is not the case as we have plenty of good cycling in our own back yard. Yesterday we decided to experience a small sample of what Montreal...

Cycling in Ottawa ̵...

I came to a conclusion today about cycling in Ottawa. The infrastructure provided to us for cycling really sucks. There is simply no rhyme or reason to things. Go 1/2 kilometer on a public roadway and you will see anything from a shared route (bikes & cars) to a singular route...

Competitive Cycling ...

My buddy Peter sent me an e-mail a few weeks back asking me if I’d like to participate in a bike/run event with him in early May. Being the good friend that I am, I quickly agreed. I never thought that it would actually be a competition! I haven’t competed in anything...

Lance Armstrong in Cap ...

I have recently started to use Twitter. This pic (taken today) of Lance Armstrong in the South of France is simply “motivational”. Not only because it is of who I consider to be the greatest cyclist of our time. But because of the beautiful views in the background. Can...

Montreal Cycling —...

Yesterday was simply beautiful. Unseasonably warm weather made for a nice side trip to Boulevard St. Laurent in Montreal- whilst on our way home from Vermont. One of my favorite locales is Schwartz’s – Montreal’s best smoked meat stop. Luckily there was a lineup...
