New cargo bike rental service in Montreal! I was involved a bit in the testing. Super cool concept. Download the app, pay by the half hour, access the bikes at 5 cafes around Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie. The 3-wheeled bikes are easy to get the hang of (just note that the turning radius is large).

It's Bicycle Month! BriarPatch caught up with the Nevada City Bike Train with snacks.  Since last November, the Bike Bus's been riding Fridays from Pioneer Park's Seaman's Lodge to Seven Hills and Deer Creek Schools, picking up other riders along the way. Making Fridays just a little more fun! 🚴‍♂️🎉
