Tripleshot Cycling

Planning on doing a self-supported Three Ferries 3 June (clockwise - Bentwood Bay ferry first). Depart the Switch Bridge water fountain 0700. Ride is up on Spond. Lunch in Ganges.

Cheers.

If anyone is interested in spending two hours standing around counting bikes, Velo Canada is looking for volunteers first week of June to gather some statistics on cycling:

I claim the intersection of Harbour Road and the Goose (coffee in hand)!

Tripleshot cyclists, You may be aware of the BC Cycling Coalition's drive to raise funds in order to campaign for a safe passing law in BC. As the coalition's blog notes, "a bicycle on a road is one of the cheapest, greenest, healthiest, most efficient, and most enjoyable modes of transportatio...

The BC Cycling Coalition is currently fundraising in order to advocate for a 1.5 meter safe passing law similar to those being proposed in Ontario, Quebec and a couple of other provinces. Any donations of $100 or more will be matched until 12 April (I think their webpage has it wrong, their Facebook...

May have something. PM me.

As we tend to be out doors types, a link to a local charity trying to save Mountain Road Forest. Not sure if you cross types make use of its trials.

My commute to work takes me across the bridge twice a day. Yep, cars regularly try to run me over at this intersection. At least the City of Victoria has the decency to respond and try and do something about it. My emails to the Township of Esquimalt about their bicycling safety issues go unanswered...

I would be interested in this. Perhaps we can base start time off Nautical Twilight.

Thanks Eric and Jeremy, appreciate the feedback.

Thanks Ann.

Dutch. He has stories of outrunning German solders on his bike after stealing potatoes during the war. I am guessing his chain was not waxed. I don't think waxing was/is on his radar. (Still alive at 91.)

I don't know if there is an earlier thread already out there, but has anyone switched to waxing their chain vice the traditional lube method?

Craig,

Does Cycling BC have any interest in, advocate for, or is looking at advocating for updating the BC Motor Vehicle Act?

I most likely missed it earlier, but does someone have the route to share that can be downloaded?

Thanks.

This has to be the most FUBAR thread on TS!

If you need an extra set of bib-shorts and jersey I have some used. PM me.

I was not fast enough either. I have PMed Bruce that I would be interested in a weekday ride. Will look at a date and ask if Martin can put onto Spond to gauge interest.
