Guelph On Two Wheels 
Tip: if your bicycle helmet is getting nasty, then the next time you take a shower, lather up with shampoo and wear your helmet.
MillyChanged to summer tires on the bike now. Finally! It's going to roll so smooth, fast and silent again. So I guess we'll have more snow in a week or two.
Sorry!
Koen Hufkens, PhDAlways surprised to read these glowing reviews, and their focus on weight. Only to notice that my 40 year old steel road bike is only 200gr heavier than the entry level bike (and I could probably get there if I upgrade my cockpit and seat post to carbon). π€·ββοΈ

Hey #bikestodon #bikeTooter anybofy have recommendations for fenders for the REI CTY 1.1? I found some discussion online that most donβt fit without modification, but the Portland Design Works will, Iβm just not sure about spending almost as much on fenders as I am on the bike.
This is why I have hope for the US. You see politics infiltrate in other discussions and topics. You see this in Ars Technica and Wired coverage, but also this one in the bikepacking community. People don't let this slide anymore. For many this isn't just news anymore, this is personal.

Jon PENNYCOOKIt turns out it was all a waste of paper and a waste of my time taking part in the consultation. The council now say regarding the Basingstoke & Deane Borough Council Cycling Strategy: "Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council, as a district local authority, has no responsibility for cycling strategy and, therefore, does not hold the information requested."

"Vision Zero doesnβt discourage people from moving by a certain mode. It demands we make movement safe," Bidgood said in one post. "Winter cycling is only βunsafeβ when the city chooses not to maintain safe conditions. Not maintaining infrastructure and then blaming the people who use it is the opposite of Vision Zero."
#Basingstoke Borough Council's 2016 Cycling Strategy had a target to double cycle trips to work over 10 years. I should probably contact them to ask how that's going given that between it and the subsequent LCWIP, nothing really has changed in terms of producing joined-up high quality cycling infrastructure.
