Cars are slow
24 JunThis traffic on the Deerfoot was moving at 10 km/h. I was tempted to drop down there and pass a few hundred of them.

Folding bikes on Calgary Transit buses
8 JunAs of July 1st, 2011, Calgary Transit will be allowing folding bikes (20″ or smaller wheels) on all of their buses and trains at all hours of the day and night (provided they’re in a bag). Full-size bikes are already allowed on the C-Train outside of peak hours (6:30-9:00 and 15:30-18:00). The light-hearted video below tells the story of two cyclist friends who decide to test use the new system.
Slow Down!
5 MayDo you think this will have any impact on the motorists in Calgary?
(Okay, it was actually for a good cause: the 2011 Bike To Work Day. Thanks to Sarah Covey for the video clip).
Bike Commuting in Downtown Calgary
20 AprI cycle to work every day through downtown Calgary. My commute takes me under 10 minutes, as I live close to my office – less than 3 km – so this is clearly the best way to get to work. If I were to drive a car, it would take at least twice as long, or longer, and cost me up $6000/year in parking. Taking the bus would be cheaper, but again, much slower. And neither of those two options are as much fun as riding my bike!
Here’s a video clip showing my daily commute. Now, when riding a bike I’m definitely paying attention to my surroundings, unlike some of the motorists I encounter. In the video I comment on some of what’s going through my head while I’m riding, and text captions indicate some of what I’m doing on the road. Your thoughts?
