Fun day with a 40km bike ride to Sooke for the free Sooke Music and Arts Festival. A definite bargain considering Pink Mountaintops were playing.

I'm re-starting my Alphabet Ride (borked by twitter's demolition).

I used a few City of Victoria GIS datasets to make a list of every street, path, and laneway in town, over 600, and I intend to ride every block of every one of them (within city limits).

In alphabetical order, with the caveat that not all paths are polite/legal/reasonable to ride a bike on.

And share some inexpert photos of the pretty along the way.

Interesting read, and more reasons to have at least 50% woman at the decision making table around Active Transportation.

Come see why I love my commute so much and join me for a ride from Central Saanich to downtown Victoria. 😊 If you don't want to watch for an hour, you can click the settings symbol at the bottom right of the video on YouTube to increase the speed.

I recorded this video back on the 24th. It was a beautiful day, with blue skies, but a bit cool, so there weren't too many people on the MUPs. A perfect day to record.

Morning trail condition report!

The Goose is slushy. Which is actually totally bikeable. It looks like impassable snowy ruts, but it's instead a kind of thick puddle. You might want your rain pants.

If it freezes before it melts away it will become bumpy and slippery.

The trestle is actually snowy.

Painted roadside bike lanes are nonexistent.

Be safe!

Yesterday evening I enjoyed the novelty of riding in a bit of snow.

bike trail condition report: The Selkirk Trestle is frosty enough to be slippery. It will probably burn off soon, but be careful in the meantime.

Join me for a mostly peaceful ride in Central Saanich. 🐓 One thing I really like about living in now (compared to rural Saanich) is how many places are within easy biking distance. Today's ride was just a quick trip from our house to Buckerfields to pick up hen scratch for our lady birds. Including stops, the entire trip took me 33.5 minutes at a relaxed pace. vimeo.com/798618897?ref=fb-sha

Rode my bike to McDs again to pick up dinner. This time, traffic was so bad that I ended up being faster than cars (by several minutes!) in both directions. Normally at this time it's bad in one direction (out of town), but into town was severely jammed up too. I wonder what was going on.

So glad I didn't drive, though. That would've been interminable.

It's a good thing I don't do diet/weight loss new year resolutions, for me they seem to only end in sadness.

Instead, I've set a vague "bike X kms in 2023" goal.

Not sure what X is going to be. At least 1,000km.

Today I did 8km. And any calories burned were immediately offset with fried chicken and donuts purchased on the ride.

Another snowy video, this time with a plea for clearing sidewalks properly. From my ride to pick up dinner last night. Unsure if the sidewalk in question has since been cleaned up. (I had to push my bike for ~200 utterly exhausting metres of snow and ice, after 3km of clear trails with no such issues)

If I have a heart attack tonight, it's because this pisspoor excuse for a "cleared" sidewalk killed me. More energy to walk a hundred metres than the entire preceding 3km ride.

So this has made national news!(& rightfully so).

If you want to learn more about what Philip, aka Sustainawave… aka Mr , is up to (he’s often working on neat bike projects), here’s his website sustainawave.ca/

(Our friend made this meme of him, I’m sharing it with permission… he doesn’t know I’m promoting his website at the same time though, but I’m sure he’d appreciate it)

So uh... How's the Goose going into downtown? I'm supposed to work tomorrow and...Considering my transportation options.

(Who am I kidding, I'm probably going to work from home.)

Did some errands today. By bike. In the snow. At -6°C. For 17km. It was great :)
