All about bicycles

New bike day. Went up my mountain to make sure I built it up properly, and was met with a rather large pop up thunderstorm near the top. Luckily I know all the good shelter spots so I tucked in, waited it out, and then finished my ride.

Awesome ride!
 
After a couple of weeks off due to weddings and other carp it was time to do another Tour de Delta...

I dunno why, but I like this view...



Rip tides in the river...



Pic stop at Deas Island Park...



View from a pedestrian/cycling overpass looking North/West over hwy 99...



Air show near Boundary Bay...





Corn on the rise...







40k into a 50k ride and time for water and Nuun tabs...





Just made it...



Time to go home...



 
Every year around the Tour de France, I ride a bunch. I'm waiting for the rain to stop to do my 21st consecutive day out in the wild. Here are a few images from the 2024 edition.

Once in a while someone feels they need to distance themselves from your hideous bike.

Somedays, you find some serious chain saw skills

Maybe stop to trade in some books

or make a new friend - this guy's name is Stumpie. Nice because my bike is a Stumpjumper

by the way, I do have bikes that are suited for the road

As a long time cruiser, the wife and I walk everywhere unless getting a hire car or taxi. Looking at either electric scooters or bikes. Open to discussion. Pros and cons. Currently in Greece, Caribbean 2023 south pacific 2024.
That yayhoo is long gone and his wife (who usually gets her way) wants a cheapie, so he probably won’t get one for himself
 
Three rides in one post...
Last week, yesterday, and today...



On the greenway underneath 64 Ave overpass...



So overgrown, had to push into the side to let other cyclists by...



Finally, the ocean decided to show up!









Mount Baker in the distance...



Heading to the sports fields...



A game between local Fijian teams. Good players. Saw 2 nice goals...



Couple of Fijian singers along with some backing tracks. Sounded great!

 
That was a nasty attack.
Any idea what the dog owner is responsible for?
Good odds they will be banished from having a dog again. One of the police who took my report recognized the descriptions I gave and had been to the house for a prior incident.
Animal control considers it a vicious attack and will probably not allow the dog to continue to exist.
The police or animal control may charge the owner because it is unequivocally their responsibility to control the dog.

Not a huge fan of putting animals down, but multiple incidents? Unacceptable...
