📖 Flashback to the early days of Bixi in Montreal. Similar bikeshare systems around the world donated a bike, and it was fun to see how many you could spot and identify.

I spent last week in #Montreal - my first visit - and boy is it a cool city. Way more French than I expected! The depanneurs! I tried #bixi but also rented a #bike, which is sadly expensive there. Cycling #infrastructure is impressive for North America, but wayfinding and route connections are deplorable. However, they have proper canals to cycle next to and the islands in the river are adventurous, including an old F1 track that is now the domain of sportfietsers. #biodome #BikeTooter

I used to have a e-scooter because it was easier to transport up 4 flights of stairs to my apartment. I'd prefer a bike but I really wanted to avoid leaving it in the street overnight for fear of it getting stolen.

Well joke's on me because my e-scooter got absolutely destroyed in broad daylight on a busy street while I was having coffee with a friend.

Now I'm walking, using public transport or our local bike share
