The circle of cycling life is complete - adding a high vis jacket to my fall/winter/spring gear!

Retouched some memorials today and it was great to see the completed protected intersection at St. George and Bloor St. It’s so sad that so many ghost bikes are in one condensed area. These memorials were installed by Advocacy for Respect for Cyclists.
A white bike with flowers attached. The bike is attached to a pole by a chain. Behind the bike is a protected intersection. The sign on the front of the bike says “Dalia Chako” A white bike with flowers attached. The bike is attached to a pole by a chain and the front of the bike has multi-coloured flowers. The sign that says “24 year old female cyclist, Deceased 25 July 2024” A white bike with flowers attached. The bike is attached to a pole by a chain. Behind the bike is a building and the sun is shining on the bike and flowers. The sign says “Miguel Joshua Escanan” A white ghost bike attached to a concrete pole with a large chain. The bike has flowers attached the front and back. The sign says “Ali Sezgin Armagan”

No cycling today or likely this week. If I were a fast cyclist I would take the lane, but that’s not the case! #toronto #wintercycling

I think it’s melting? Maybe a good time to get my bike tuned up and focus on walking for the next week #Toronto #WinterCycling

Very cool Lego pole #toronto
Lego surrounds a pole and it forms a vertical city. The background shows a snow-filled road and sidewalk

This was yesterday’s walk into work - you can’t see the depth, but this is on top of a snowbank! The plows pushed the snow onto the sidewalk and nobody cleared it. Took the main roads home and they were in much better shape.
A snow-filled sidewalk with a few paths created. It’s very messy and slippery.

Adventurous cycling today. Some bike lanes were good, some not so good, but glad I made it to my destination. #Toronto #wintercycling #cycletoronto

An event post that says “Ghost bike delivery to Queen’s Park. Nov. 21 - 5:30 pm ride from Matt Cohen Park”. There is a white ghost bike on a black background. Below, text says, “The one growth area in cycling the Ford government will deliver is the increase of Ghost Bikes and devastated families.” At the bottom, there are logos from 5 organizations.
