We’ve put roughly 4,800 kms on two e-bikes in just over a year. ~2,800 on the Yuba (no riding Dec-March) since end of April last year and 2,000 kms on our Load4 75 Reise & Muller since the end of August, 2023. We’ve had lots of bus trips and I’m averaging only 9 kms of walking a day. Living without a car can be very fucking frustrating and limiting in a city like #ottawa but I wouldn’t trade it for anything #cargobike#biketooter
I don't post a lot of #Ottawa photos because usually, when I'm out, I'm on a cardio walk and don't want to stop. But here's the Rideau Canal from the Corktown Footbridge.
Pretty high CAPE for #Ottawa this afternoon. Models don't seem to develop it into thunderstorms, they prefer the western portion that will pass in the late evening.
EC forecasting possibility of storms all day, which seems prudent.
Nice line of storms churning towards eastern Ontario. Will they make it to #ottawa, or does the Franktown weather control facility have enough axions in the broken PQ-symmetry tank to fend it off?
Severe thunderstorm watch is on. 24 and steamy out.
no sign of the anti-precipitation dome yet. Severe thunderstorm warning issued for #Ottawa
Going to light the BBQ early and try to get snausages done before it hits.
Thanks-for-nothing, guy asleep in front of the "weather dome" button at Franktown weather control. Maybe this is the universe where he wakes up and mashes it at the last second?
Overnight camp for kids and adults with developmental disabilities needs staff urgently

Currently we do not have enough staff to run our camp at full capacity. In order to avoid reducing camp registrations we are reaching out to you for help in reaching a broader staff network
Tuesday:
101 seconds of plank
11 minutes of yoga for runners
20 minutes of HITT
30 minutes of strength training
7.4 km of #running (18°C, light rain)
Pretty good morning workouts, all told. Enjoyed the light rain which I expected to turn into a downpour based on the radar, but for whatever reason, I missed it.
My onsite today was cancelled, so I'm playing catchup on other work before I go make lunch.
Last Sunday, I hung out at the Hartwells Locks in #Ottawa. I counted over 100 people with a bike crossing the locks in 20 minutes. That is >300 an hour.
Lots of people with e-bikes now and several people struggling getting the bike on to the locks. This definitely needs improvement.
Lots of older folks, clearly touring for the morning or the day, so happy to see that. Our pathways allow for great routes with little interference from car traffic.
Hey #ottbike or folks around #ottawa that are interested in the idea of a #cargobike but have never seen one up close or ridden one. I’m not an organizer but found this on instagram and will probably try and make it out for the show and tell with our two e-cargo bikes. More people need to see them everyday in all the places, in all the situations, for all the reasons people need to move around and live. Please share and come out! #biketooter
It’s really frustrating the pedestrian bridge at Carleton still looks like this! If it were a parking lot it would be open by now! #autowa#ottawalkers#ottawa
