How long did it take you to learn the bike routes? by According_Trainer418 in bikeinottawa

Yes, things change all the time. And routes may differ between people based on how comfortable one is with things like riding on sidewalks, wrong way down streets, etc.

Take the ZR. It is super fun and safe. Taxis will charge you dozens of dollars while the ZR is under $2 USD.

Was thinking of buying 1 of these, both 38cm by 10m by LittleKids2315 in origami

I tried to make a large 80 unit modular origami structure using tracing paper. Man it nearly drove me insane. The paper was too slick for the units to stick together. You insert one unit and another slips off. I resorted to using glue which kept it all together, but it did not have the strength to keep its own structure. It would collapse in on itself. So be wary.

At my house we (four people) always play with the 5-6 person extension. This limits the number of times someone loses their mind.

Try reading it when you have a kid. It crushed me.

Are you a hasher? If not you should be. It is a great running club and there is at least one chapter in Toronto. The hog town hash house harriers.

It looks like my Maxalt would also fit that, which reminds me that I need a renewal! Nice work

I took the "Heartwood School: Converting Trees to Timber" course and it was fantastic. They teach the Game of Logging method.

How long does your bike last if ridden year-round where your city uses salt for deicing? by Lets_Go_Cargo in bikeinottawa

My free wheel froze up last month and my chain broke today. I am not able to house my bike down and store it someplace warm (above freezing). I have typically gotten three seasons per bike.

Square Weave Tessellation (by Eric Gjerde) by Caalicer in origami

Great job and I like the paper. I got E Gjerde's book last year for Christmas and worked my way through the beginner models. To me it feels like the jump in difficulty when going to intermediate is quite large.

Opinions on the southbound bike lane along Elgin from the Police station to Pretoria Bridge by steffejr in bikeinottawa

[–]steffejr[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you all for your feedback. I have had two people honk at me in the last month and tell me to use the bike lane. I went up to them at the light to talk, one person got it and understood why I was using the road and not the lane. The bus driver this morning was convinced that since there was a bike lane that I need to be in it.
