When you have too much fun urban cycling down a hill.
#halifax #NovaScotia #cycling #urbancycling #HfxBike #HaliSky
Just a short video from my ride earlier this morning on North St. First part is showing me weave past all the traffic. And then having a bit of fun as I scream down the hill.

A Fitbit tracker map of a bike route starting at downtown Dartmouth, along Lake Banook, up past Mic Mac Mall, down Albro Lake Rd and Wyse Rd, across the bridge, to downtown Halifax.
Took a very scenic bike ride home from work. Stopped in at MEC for a quick tune-up on the way. God, it feels great to bike again. #HfxBike #Halifax #HaliSky

A city that prioritizes active transportation over car culture. #utrecht #netherlands

Happy new year Halifax, 2026 is the year I become an ideological menace on your city streets. #hfxbike #halifax

#hfxbike legend Ashleigh Myles is about 284km away from being the first (and fastest) woman to bike the Pan-American highway: www.followmychallenge.com/live/ashleig...
I wish Halifax admin could understand how dangerous leaves in the bike lanes are. I narrowly avoided a bad crash on Bell road. The lanes are barely as wide as my handlebars, and over half full of wet leaves.
Weekly street cleaning had the roads clear though

This night was such a blast. My friend Lael dressed up as a dragon to match my knight. And she indulged me in taking some absolutely badass pics! ##Halifax #criticalmass #cycling #HfxBike

Happy Halloweek #hfxbike!
Come join us this week at Holy Cross Cemetery for a costumed coffee outside — one of you will get a fresh bag of beans from Have Fun Coffee

#hfxbike we are really close to the second cogswell bikeway opening — I think it’s going to see a lot of use combined with Brunswick.
A Fitbit map of a section of Nova Scotia showing a travel line from Halifax to Peggy's Cove. It's nearly a straight line, like the travellers flew.
Something went completely wonky with my Fitbit tracking. This morning, I biked from Dartmouth to Halifax, about 7 KM.
According to the Fitbit map, though, I somehow flew...to Peggy's Cove?

Busy day for me today. Going to NSCC's open house this afternoon. Then I think I'll go to Nocturne, starting in downtown Dartmouth, and go over to Halifax from there.
Anyone else planning on going to Nocturne tonight? #Halifax #Dartmouth #HfxBike
What's the mating call of a cyclist, then?
My suggestion: "On your left!"
#HfxBike
I'm absolutely blown away. Not even 24 hours, and I'm already at the halfway mark. "Thank you" feels...too quaint. It doesn't feel like enough to say.
I'm grateful. Beyond grateful.

Was that Andy at the #HFXBike event? Couldn’t be
Bike accident injury update:
Now that I'm doing heat instead of ice, it's clearing up super fast. The pain is subsiding. I wish I'd done heat sooner. C'est la vie.
The way I'm feeling, I might be back on the bike in a few days. Fingers crossed, folks! #HfxBike
A security picture asking you to "select all images with bicycles. Click verify once there are none left." Some of the images are of bicycle seats. Except some of the pictures are also of a long-snouted dog with a white trim of fur up the middle of his face that almost resembles a bicycle seat.
Not gonna lie. This one would have tricked me.

we had several blocks of joy, #kidicalmass. always love seeing #hfxbike come together, and even more when councilors come out to join us.
Hey gang, wanna see the handlebar GoPro footage of my accident that landed me in the hospital? #HfxBike
(Warning: swearing)
I wiped out on the trail. I'm mostly okay, but there's a large bulge on my right calf. It barely hurts.
Some fellow cyclists came by and called an ambulance for me.
The EMS workers are currently trying to figure out how to get me to the ambulance. #HfxBike

Hey, #HFXbike #bikeHFX, I'm selling an adult e-trike! (Liberty Trike from late 2023, used once.) Might any of you be interested, or know someone who might be? It's a great little machine and I really want it to find a good home.

Morning, #HFXbike folks
Any word on the state of the South Park Street bike lane this am?
#HFXTraffic
As promised, video evidence of a fellow cyclist blatantly running a red light this morning. This was at Wyse & Bolland in Dartmouth, going towards the bridge.
People like this give the rest of us a bad name.

I'll post a video in a bit, but I saw a fellow cyclist blatantly run a red light while I waited at the same red light.
Cyclists like him give the rest of us a bad name.
Another cyclist passed me on the bridge without a bell or any notification. PLEASE ring your bell if you're passing.
