I did not make any good progress on my project to read GPX data with Python today. (Trying to read speed.) May need to just read it as XML.

There are a bunch of nerds who do Python and bikes though, so someone might have the code example I need.

First (real) ride on the new bike. So chuffed! Also, found a dollar on the way home so yeah, biking really pays off!

Schabas's ruling on Toronto bike lanes is great reading! He repeatedly points out the Ontario government's case has no evidence, or is contrary to the evidence, and was contrary to the government's own CIMA report, which they took a long time to reveal.

ie. Doug Ford et. al. lied by omission, lied outright, then lied and tried to hide it.

And the cherry on top: Cycle Toronto was represented pro bono, but Schabas awarded their counsel $200,000 in costs anyway!

For folks who are interested, Justice Schabas’s actual judgment makes for engaging and invigorating reading. He has little time for the government’s lazy, BS “reasoning” and he makes it crystal clear why.

(Edited to correct “Judge Schabas" to “Justice Schabas”)

I recently biked along the Baltic Sea in Poland, from Gdansk to Sopot. It was one of the most sublime rides of my life.

I wondered: Why are there so few places in North America where people can cycle along the coast, separated from cars?

My exploration, in Bloomberg

Thanks to Virginia Tech's bicycle helmet test results, I just replaced a two-star helmet with a five-star helmet!

If you're gonna wear a bike helmet, try to get one that works!

Fun fact, it was so hot yesterday that the motor on my ebike overheated while I was cycling home... up a hill. So, yeah, yesterday, I inadvertently learnt about "limp mode".

For your bike to suddenly throttle halfway up a hill is both disconcerting and exhausting.

Thankfully, the motor is working fine this morning, but lesson learnt; my bike is now parked in my air-conditioned lab.

#ChapelHillNC & #CarrboroNC are still digging out from TS #Chantal. Damage to sidewalks, bike paths, & other non-car infrastructure is widespread, but crews are out busting their butts to fix stuff.

Many ways to document problems to #walking & #biking connections, incl. go.unc.edu/chantalbikeped

I’ve been out biking all day and I’m still outside, soaking up the beautiful weather.

Biking brings my autistic self so much joy!

Edit: I also removed all the anoyong stickers all over it.

A sad and happy day for me. My 2015 Trek Marlin 5 is officially kaput as I have cracked the frame. I put thousands of kilometers on that bike and it just fit like a glove. I put all kinds of upgrades on it like hydraulic brakes, RockShox front forks, double lined rims, improved drive train, EVO pedals and grips, etc. It was the most expensive $500 bike in the forest! Thanks for the memories!

And here's why I'm a bit happy - I bought a brand new 2025 Trek Marlin 6 Gen 3 to replace it. Looking forward to taking this bad boy on the single track soon!

Bike Friends, uhhh… my wheel fell off? The fork slid apart. How much of a concern is this? I rode with no issues but I do hang my bike by the front tire all the time.
