I like to get around as quickly and efficiently as possible, which is usually biking.

Bright Aurora Borealis and an even much brighter Perseid meteor over a particularly photogenic tree in the north of the Netherlands, August 12, 2024.

People are starting to think about winter biking. My how-to-guide for biking in winter: ottawacyclist.com/how-to-bik…

Thinking of winter biking? This infographic shows how to do the fun, easy, cheap, better for you and the environment way to get around

This @RichmondRCMP ad is irresponsible. Yes, the pedestrian has headphones (legal), but she's crossing at the crosswalk & pushed the beg buttons for flashing lights. The driver appears to be speeding (illegal) and is checking his phone (illegal). Who's truly at fault here?

This is so good. Thank goodness @wabkinew is the new Premier of Manitoba. Such a breath of fresh air. We need more positive politics that inspires people! 💪🤛👏

Winter cycling
🚲 Need a bike (old is fine), fenders & lights
🚴♀️ Try with a friend
🌞 Go on a cold winter day, dry asphalt
⏱️ Start with short rides
🅿️ Lock bike outside
👖 Wear regular winter clothes (layers)
Enjoy.

I've spent the last week in the UK. Number of pickup trucks I've seen? Nearly zero.
So my fellow Americans, if you think you need a truck, ask yourself how other countries do just fine without giant pickups.
Perhaps it's about image, not utility.

The @ottawapolice murdered an unarmed Black man with mental health problems in my neighbourhood in 2016. They then sold wristbands to support the cop that murdered him. Afterwhich the cop was acquitted. His name was Abdirahman Abdi and he deserves justice. #ottpoli
Today we honour and celebrate Martin Luther King Jr's life and legacy. As we strive for equality and unity, let's remember his message of love and peace for all. #MLKDay

Sometimes I ski uphill in the woods alone. But I crank good tunes. And eventually the trail goes down. Cross country skiing as a life lesson. There you go Twitter happy Sunday.

My 3D greeting cards have always been a popular gift when I've given them to friends and family, so I'm launching an online store for them, at centretown3d.ca/
#3D photos of #Centretown and #Ottawa #OttCity on greeting cards! Also available @highjinxottawa

I think it can be both approaches, actually. I absolutely would love to find savings. There's a lot of things we spend money on (e.g. road widening) that feels like a waste of money, considering the fact that we're not supposed to be incentivizing greater car use. 1/

The thing about winter biking vs. winter driving is that no one hates winter biking.

Whoa. While election drama was happening, Via clobbered a truck on tracks near Casselman. I can't believe there were no injuries. xitter.gq/OttFire/status/1584706…
The vehicle was dragged approximately 1500m east down the tracks. Firefighters checked for leaks on the train & disconnected the vehicle battery. A hose line was pulled as a precaution. #OttNews 2/2
