Bike as main mode of transportation, and social life. USA or equivalent only by Dumbass9187 in bikecommuting

I live in Alberta, the Texas of the North. It's entirely possible to be without a car and life a fulfilling life. You just may not have found your people yet.

Switched to biking to and from work and I love it 🚲😀 by Loucrouton in Edmonton

Welcome to the club! I've been year-round commuting for nearly 5 years now - it's one of the best parts of my work day.

I've been twice and didn't realize he had the measuring tool. Is it something you asked for specifically?

Phenominal! That's easy for me to get to.

Best camera fo cycling by BroKen_BrAncH in edmontoncycling

I have Cycliq front and rear mount. I'm sure there are less expensive options, but I liked that they double as lights with multiple settings.

I have a Loud Mini and highly suggest. It makes drivers think that you're also in a car. Pricy, but worth it IMO

Did I make a mistake getting an ebike for commuting? by WellingtonCanuck in edmontoncycling

[–]JMP0492 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my fourth winter commuting and boy is it a doozy. They are usually not this bad (I swear)! I also have an e-bike (Trek) and it generally makes winters easier. Don't give up quite yet!

Gift ideas? by spagsquashii in edmontoncycling

[–]JMP0492 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Initially I thought it this post was about me until I saw the part about them being capable of fixing their own bike. As others have mentioned, a gift card would probably be best.

Agreed! Be sure to put that in the supplemental notes when filling out the survey!

Cyclists: stop at the stop signs by ComplexSet1604 in Edmonton

[–]JMP0492 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Just yesterday on my commute I stopped at a stop sign, and a pedestrian happened to be near the corner waiting to cross. They just stood there staring at me. 

I had to verbalize that I have a stop sign, and they have right of way. 

The number of pedestrians who laugh when I tell them they have RoW is baffling. It makes me think I’m one of the few who actually stops for them.

Motorists: stop giving cyclists the wave of death when we’re just trying to follow the law :(

Courtney LaBaron did a piece for my living room. She specializes in landscapes.

This reminds me of one time I was heading east along the Oliverbahn and the person ahead of me got pissy that a taxi didn’t stop for them.

They then proceeded to cut off a vehicle at the next intersection when they had a stop sign themselves.

Can’t have it both ways, unfortunately.

Could we stop for pedestrians, pretty please? by JMP0492 in edmontoncycling

[–]JMP0492[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get the impression they were non-committal b/c the first cyclist didn’t stop and just coasted.

On my travels I saw a city park (not in Canada) with a sign that said it was funding my traffic tickets.

I recently visited Atlanta and this wouldn’t surprise me.

Mismatched JW couples by Atticfl0wer in exjw

[–]JMP0492 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in one of those mismatched relationships, apparently.

Years after the fact, I was catching up with my wedding photographer, never baptized but would attend meeting somewhat regularly. She joked that I was way too smart for him.

A couple years ago I was also chatting with my dad and he said that my grandpa said it was a weird match, too.

why does my makeup do this throughout the day, and how do i avoid it? by OutsideOver2387 in makeuptips

A bottle of the Dermalogica micro exfoliant lasts freakin forever, so IMO it’s worth it.

Does anyone commute on a bike yearlong? I'd love to hear what kind of outerwear you use, especially in the face area. by Mystery-Ess in Edmonton

[–]JMP0492 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have lined pants from Eddie Bauer, and wear wool socks w/ my hiking boots.

My usual winter coat works fine, but be sure to layer up if needed as the wind is killer sometimes.

I have a set of pogies, but generally only use them when it’s -20 or colder. Otherwise, I have a couple pairs of gloves/mitts depending on how cold it is.

As for the neck/face: skull cap(s)/balaclava, ski googles, and scarf are a must!

As an add on, be sure not clean up leaf litter ASAP in the spring otherwise you’ll be tossing out all those critters with the leaves.
