#OttBike report

-Conditions much better, though I hit a growing pothole near the Tunneys busloop turnin that jolted my chain off.
-Overdressed. The new gear I got recently is WARM.

Per this excellent article from @urbanismspeakeasy.com, "We don’t hold referendums on airplane safety. The same logic should apply to street design." #BikeTO #BikeSky #ottbike #VeloMTL #BikeHFX #BikeWPG #YYCbike #YEGbike #BikeYVR #VisionZero

#OttBike report

-The snow-melt-freeze means it's super bumpy and all the windrows are hazardous.

-Northside Scott and Albert were cleared. Southside Scott had a plow heading west around Holland.

Edit: probably one of the worst commutes of the season, to be honest, but hopefully some sun and maintenance will clear it up before too long.

My winter tires are at end of life (starting to get slow leaks from tiny punctures from the studs poking back through), but considering I got them in 2018 I'm resigned that they've had a good life and am using tape inside and carrying a small pump to get through these last few weeks.

Any #OttBike know if they go on end of season sale? So far I haven't seen any sales at my local shops on tires... though I have gotten some clearance clothes (my crosscountry ski clothes crosses for biking gear in most weather and is from like 2010 in most cases).
