Hans on the Bike<p>In its quest to find savings, our city is looking into more gravel roads, even in the suburbs.

February #Ottawa bike compilation is complete. Mainly just lots and lots of snow. Some interesting detour too.

It is not always easy to get data from the City of Ottawa. Strong Towns Ottawa had to go through a city councillor's office to receive the data they wanted to see. And then they got a 2500+ pages PDF with raw data of a Bank Street on line survey. #ottbike #BikeTooter #ottawa #ottcity

#002 - https://www.relive.com/view/vDqg2DrGEV6 #Relive #Ottbike #Ottawa #Spring #Warmup Gettin' out there. #Garmin was busy Working... so I logged the ride with Relive on my phone. C'mon Garmin, get your shit together! Roads are pretty bumpy but clear, the Aviation Parkway MUP is still covered in snow and ice.
Does anyone know if the police monument on #Parliament Hill is accessible? Asking for a reader of my blog who is visiting #Ottawa in spring. The pathway along the river behind the Hill is still slated to open in Spring (that would be this weekend), but I am guessing it will be closer to June than two days from now without having been there.
Yay! First bike ride of the year. I was really getting sick of the 5km walk to work. (I alternate walk and O-train through the winter.) #ottbike
