Re: Wharf Street and Johnson St bridge.

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...

Re: Chain Waxing

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.)

Chain Waxing

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?

Re: Cycling BC Board

Craig,

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

Re: 3 Ferry Ride - Let's do it!

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.
