I recently finished a book about Wayfinding. Not about signs and arrows, but about how our brain functions. It was a fascinating read and I realised cycling ticks a lot of the boxes if you want to maintain a healthy brain. Let's look how wayfinding works and how your brain is involved. #Biketooter #Health #Ottbike http://hansonthebike.com/2026/08/08/want-better-brains-start-cycling/?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=jetpack_social

Modern medicine has never investigated the link between adults commuting to work by bicycle and children's cancer. Chip in to prove there is one! 😉 #ottawa #ottbike #greatcyclechallenge https://greatcyclechallenge.ca/Riders/rdlumentum

A solid #OttBike adventure with the kids today: 🚲 On the KZM, enjoying the wide space. 🚲 Behind Parliament, finally open again! 🚲 Made them haul their bikes across the locks. 🏊❌ Considered swimming at East Wharf but some floating garbage turned them off it. 🚲 Alexandra Bridge! 🏊🏊🏊 Swam at the history museum docks, had a blast. 🚲 Biked along the north shore for a bit, crossed back (Chaudiere to the Zibi park pathway with the MUP bridge behind the war museum) 🌭 Had lunch at Remic Rapids, there was a band playing in the park beside the patio 🎵 🚲 Biked home along the Ottawa River Pathway. 20+ km on their little legs (plus a good amount of swimming). Super impressed.

The bolt holding the bike seat to the post sheared off today, making the seat flip back as I was riding. Pretty scary and also an odd fail for the bolt. Thought @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org might find it interesting! #biketooter #bikes #ottbike

Late June, we biked to the south end of Orléans from Nepean. Finding a route away from motorised traffic was a bit of a challenge because of the provincial highways and busy arterials, but we managed mostly on pathways in the end. #ottbike #Biketooter #cycling #Ottawa http://hansonthebike.com/2026/07/17/finding-a-route-to-orleans-souths-avalon-ottawa/?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=jetpack_social

i'm looking for an Android app or website that uses OpenStreetMap and will not only give me a bike route with elevation, but tell me where the peaks and valleys are, and has an option for routing with the flattest land. does such a thing exist? i swear i saw something like that at some point but now i can't find it. #OpenStreetMap #OttBike #Cycling

Hello #Ottawa #ottbike crowd. I have a couple of fixed six-loop bike racks to sell. They are unused and were in storage as spares before I acquired them. $150 each or $225 for both. Pick up is preferred, but I am planning to buy a trailer, so I may be able to deliver later in July.

Hey #ottbike I have great news: https://OttawaByBike.ca is now a community wiki. Yes, that's right, you can go and contribute just like for Wikipedia. Anyone can edit!

This week we're taking a look at the new #ottbike tracks on Greenfield Ave. The sewer replacement project took nearly half a decade but we now have (bonus!) new bike tracks. Lets have a look at this latest addition to the #cycling network. http://hansonthebike.com/2026/02/21/new-bike-tracks-greenfield-ottawa/?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=jetpack_social
