Tip: if your bicycle helmet is getting nasty, then the next time you take a shower, lather up with shampoo and wear your helmet.

"How the Guelph Grinch is stealing our bike lanes!" with Mayor Cam Guthrie as the Grinch rolling up a green bike lane as he steals it. Credit: The original version of this comic was made by Theo Moudakis in a Toronto Star editorial cartoon.
Amendment 1 (Councillor Goller) That Council amends the 2026 operating budget by $650,000 to restore funding for snow removal services for on-street bike lanes funded by the property tax levy. Motion fails 6-7. Gibson, Richardson, Guthrie, Billings, Chew, Busutill, Hauser vote against.
And just like that, Guelph bike lanes will no longer be plowed.
An entire mode of transport has been made less accessible and more dangerous as cyclists will be forced to ride in the middle of the road with limited daylight.

Yielding right of way to a pedestrian while riding a bike is a much more positive experience because you can see each others' faces.
They smile, you smile, everybody wins.
Contrasted to the nervous glance, wondering whether the invisible driver behind those tinted windows values my existence […]

Hand holding a bike hub axle with freehub on it
Hey @cycling, apparently that freehub should just slide off the Novatec D792 axle, yet somehow it doesn't 😵💫
Should I just whack it with a rubber mallet until it comes off? Say, put a 10 mm hex key inside the axle and go for it.
(New axle ordered anyway but due […]

Good overview of the state of PFAS in outdoor clothing/gear (in this case in the context of cycling, but scales elsewhere).
