There’s no easy answer if you use your bike for transportation and the air is toxic from wildfire smoke, but here are some ideas youtu.be/btz1vDl36H8
The mistakes I made riding my bike through wildfire smoke

I had such an amazing time riding a Brompton for the first time. It's such a light bike, I didn't get as tired as when I did this loop with my bike. Thank you everyone for the amazing ride, conversations, and company 🚲
Thanks for the wonderful summer bike adventure, Bromptonauts! @bromptonleague.bsky.social #yycbike youtu.be/2kp1PNXqulU
@stefannibrasil.me told you that you can read a book while being shuttled around in a bakfiets 😜 #yycbike
Another benefit of a shady rider: when it rains, it keeps my glasses dry! I am team shady rider now :P
Unexpected side effects of getting a shady rider visor is that people get interested in it and starts talking with me about it 🥰 "what a nice bike visor you have" "a helmet and a hat? so smart" thanks @bikebikeyyc.bsky.social for selling them 🤠🪖
Just got back from a bike glamping trip to Bragg Creek with @thdaraujo.bsky.social #yycbike Followed @bikebikeyyc.bsky.social Ride With GPS route and had lots of fun. Learned a lot, and almost finished reading Shift (Silo series book #2). Ready to go full camping mode next time :D
The problem with riding bikes is that a lot of the time when you’re not riding bikes, you’re just thinking, “Fuck, I’d rather be riding bikes than the bullshit that I’m currently doing.”
Ok, before the update, I still really need your help. Here's the link to the GoFundMe for my legal defense fund. I have burnt through all of my savings fighting this case and we're not even to trial yet so anything you can donate would be appreciated. www.gofundme.com/f/duncan-kin...

As a fairly new Canadian, I value thoughtful historical pieces like this one.
Like many big Sprawl stories, this one nearly killed me—but now it's out, and in time for Canada Day too! A deep dive into how George Stanley, a born-and-raised Calgarian, created the Canadian flag.
Does anyone know if I can find the NIOSH-certified N95 masks easily at local pharmacies?
Amanda Health Services air quality alert for #yyc: keen observers may have noticed wildfire smoke rolling in to the city 😖. Environment Canada AQHI forecast for today and tomorrow is between 5 and 6. Time to mask up outside and run those air purifiers weather.gc.ca/airquality/p...
If you use Gmail, you need to read this. Google’s AI, Gemini, can read your emails, attachments, bank statements, etc. For many, this feature was switched on without consent. Here's how to turn it off 🧵 1/
Rang my bell aggressively for a man driving a car (aka legalized killing machines) to STOP on 5th St SW before turning left on 10 Ave SW, as there was a cyclist going straight. A guy said "these bike lanes are so dangerous". But it's not true. IT'S F** CARS TURNING WHEN PEOPLE ARE CROSSING.
I have some free time until September when my classes begin so I've been learning how to create and edit videos. Had fun putting this one together for our next Kind Fork Faction meetup on July 15th: kindfork.ca/meetups/july... #yycvegan

I love cycling, but my least favourite thing is seeing wildlife dead on the roads killed by people driving cars (aka legal/normalized killing machines) :(
Cute interactions I've had cycling on Crescent Heights: - a guy passes me on his bike and yells "Yay, bikes!" back to me - three little girls walking after school say hi to me when I pass by them 🧡
Got inspired to go on a bike adventure next month after attending the Bikepacking workshop series. I love that we have access to a local shop that builds community and inspires people to get out there with their bikes.

I am truly getting close to thinking like a mechanic... I dreamed that I had a pile of awful bike winter tires that I needed to fix 😅
this post resonates with me a lot. we don't know each other, but I hope you all the best on your next move @stefannibrasil.me ! ✨ www.stefannibrasil.me/posts/notes/...
The Joy of Doing Hard Things
I should have known better than comparing myself to others by now, but we all need our moments of starring into the abyss and finding our way through: being afraid to change is not how I want to live ...
