More of an update coming later, but I cannot convey accurately enough how good it smelled cycling past this field of #wildflowers just past Haines Junction, #Yukon. 🥰 #BikeSky #BicycleTravel #BloomScrolling

Woo! Finally saw a Grizzly! Or at least #iNaturalist seemed more confident that this is a Grizzly & not another brown colored Black Bear.😅 Hey there, Mr. Grizz. Sorry I've been missing so much work at Grizzco lately (including the last #BigRun). Crusty Sean can vouch for me.😉 #Wildlife #BikeSky
Catch up 🧵 Smithers -> Cassier Highway -> Whitehorse. After leaving Smithers, I continued along the Yellowhead Highway, wild camping just before New Hazelton. The following day, I went to Kitwanga & got onto the Cassier Highway going north. 1/18 #BikeSky #BicycleTravel

I promise a big catch up thread tomorrow as I take a rest day at my wonderful #Warmshowers host near Whitehorse #Yukon #Canada, but for now, I'M SO EXCITED FOR MY NEW GAMES I COULD FINALLY DOWNLOAD!🤩 #SplatoonRaiders, #MythMatch, & #Denshattack all ready to go!🥰 #BikeSky #BicycleTravel
Folks, if you want good journalism, then you really should subscribe to The Handbasket. Marisa Kabas does fantastic work! I'm a bicycling nomad, currently "between jobs" as they say, unhoused, & w/out much spare cash to throw around, & I find The Handbasket absolutely worth paying for.😎👍🏼

I AM SUPER EXCITED TO FINALLY GET TO PLAY #SplatoonRaiders! After over 1000km of spotty signal & no access to WiFi, I finally have a #WarmShowers host near Whitehorse, so I'll be able to download the game to my #Switch2. 😎👍🏼 Also, expect a big update thread of my travels since Smithers. #BikeSky

I'm ranking black flies up there with mosquitoes, oligarchs, & supremacists as among the most annoying despicable creatures on this planet. Obnoxious parasites that just want to profit off the blood & sweat of our toils.😒 The black flies up here have made me dread tailwinds!😱 #BikeSky
The only debate that ought to be sparked by this is whether the reckless drivers crashing into / on these barriers should have their licenses revoked permanently or only temporarily. 🙄 If you can't operate your ton+ death machine safely, you shouldn't be allowed to operate it at all.

There is a link in the article to submit comments to BLM. Get in there & raise a ruckus, people!
Daniel - Desert Apostate@hcexvangelical.bsky.social · 3w agoThe asshole administration is planning to remove the mining buffer around Chaco Canyon in New Mexico. This is being done without tribal or expert input and the public comment time is incredibly, and cowardly short. Please comment to help try and save Chaco. www.koat.com/article/chac...
Just a quick check in to say I have completed the Cassier Highway & made it into #Yukon. Barely have signal near Watson Lake, so no massive photo upload at the moment. Maybe when I get to Whitehorse, if I can arrange a #Warmshowers host. 😎👍🏼🚵🏼♂️ #BikeSky #BicycleTravel

Whoa! I recently passed 100 followers. THANK YOU SO MUCH! I know I don't interact much with this account. I pretty much only post about my travels here while interacting with my main @bioalex.bsky.social account. But I appreciate each & everyone of you following my journey.🥰👍🏼 #BikeSky
After all that in the catch up threads, it has been steadily making my way along Yellowhead Highway 16 through Prince George and beyond. I was finally able to photograph this brown Black Bear, & I have seen 7 black bears so far but no Grizzlies. 🤷🏻♂️ 1/3 #BikeSky #BicycleTravel
Catch up thread #2 🧵: in which I rode 110km into #Banff & #Jasper #NationalParks. It was a long day from entering Banff near Saskatchewan Crossing, over Sunwapta Pass, to Honeymoon Lake in Jasper. I saw but couldn't photo my first two bears of this trip, black bears along the road. 1/12 #BikeSky
Catch up thread #1 🧵: First, before really picking up where I left off getting off the unpaved Forestry Trunk Road in #Alberta #Canada, here's a mule deer & a red tailed hawk I was able to photograph along that road. 1/7 #BikeSky #BicycleTravel #Wildlife
There aren't many creatures I can kill without feeling some degree of remorse. Especially outdoors. I don't even like to step on roaches! That said, & while I recognize their ecological importance, mosquitoes & most flies can die. Kill kill kill the obnoxious little biters!🤬👊🏻
New chain, who dis? Ah, I love how good it feels to ride on a new chain! Feels like a new #bicycle again! 🥰💪🏼🚵🏼♂️ #BikeSky #BicycleTravel
Uphill Into A Headwind (he/him)@intoaheadwind.bsky.social · last mo.I am currently in Smithers where I have replaced my chain after 5553km since the last replacement. About 1 full link worth of chain stretch over that distance. 😅 2/3 #BikeSky #BicycleTravel

Folks, these stickers are adorable & relatable AF. If I weren't a bicycling nomad with no address while I ride my bicycle to Alaska right now, I'd be ordering a bunch of them!

Just a quick post saying yes I still exist, yes I'm still going, yes it has been a long minute since I've posted updates.😅 Signal has been patchy & headwinds have been exhausting. Currently in Fraser Lake, BC. Will post catch-up threads soon of ride through Banff & Jasper NPs & beyond. 😎👍🏼 #BikeSky

Pedestrians and cyclists must be hyper-aware so drivers can play on their phones
Erin Fogg says Free Link@criminalerin.bsky.social · 2mo agoAll I know is I don't trust anyone who likes driving anymore cuz what they're saying is they recreationally dissociate while operating a half ton of high velocity mechanical equipment so those of us who care about being alive & in a society have to do NOTHING BUT PAY CONSTANT ATTENTION TO EVERYTHING
