Everything about this reads like satire, but holy shit it's just a cult the entire way down

Bike friends with glasses, how do you prevent them from fogging up/getting covered in mist when you ride on a foggy/rainy day? Asking for me, as I had to clean my glasses off multiple times on my short school run today. #bikehfx

Went grocery shopping by cargo bike today, first real try at it! Ride was lovely and crisp, no aggro vehicles which was nice. The cart jockey at Sobeys let me park inside out of view! Giant plus, as the bike rack outside isn't actually attached to anything. My big bin was a perfect size. 😘🤌

Whew! Partner and I took the kids to summer camp via bike today, one on each, 50 minute round trip. It was a lot of fun even though I had a couple minor mishaps - backpack strap end caught in the derailleur, one dropped backpack, and period chafing. Would do again!

The image is of a four panel comic.
The title is “Cats living together”.
The first panel shows a black cat and orange cat cuddling with their eyes closed. The orange cat says “I love you”. The black cat says “I love you too”.
The second panel zooms in on them. 
The third panel shows the orange cat opening its eyes.
The fourth panel shows the orange cat raising its paw to punch the black cat. It says, “Actually you know what”.

Okay, so, here's the playbook: STEP 1: Platner drops out, giving a speech saying that this movement is bigger than him and the moment is too critical for these distractions. He endorses Shenna Bellows or another young-ish Dem. STEP 2: Platner fucks all the way off. STEPS 3-1,000: Repeat Step 2.

It may have been a wet foggy morning, but it was still a good bike the kids to school kind of day. Arrived at the same time as the other GSD rider with his kids as well! All the girls said hi to each other on the way down to the loop, I think being to ride with another pair is a fun experience. :)

Having a bit of an adventure in Guysborough County and noticed a small bike rack at the Port Bickerton Lighthouse! I don’t think I’d be personally comfortable coming here by bike, but it was super cool to see!
On the left is a wooden ramp walkway with a small green bike rack in front of it, on the right is a building with a sign reading NOVASCOTIA LIGHTHOUSE INTERPRETIVE CENTRE Port Bickerton along with admission fees. The ocean is in the background.

I need decent bike locks for my kids and probably a second one for me (the frame lock is nice but makes me nervous). I know cable locks are not to be trusted in the slightest, does anyone have suggestions or anti-suggestions? #bikehfx

Fun bike time at school drop off today! I pulled up just behind another parent with the same blue tern gsd I have, and all four kids admired each others' bike. Had a nice chat with the dad and we beat the swarm of cars into the traffic circle!

Achievement unlocked! First night time bike ride! I rode to and from my book club tonight, taking a chance with having never ridden at after dark before. It wasn't far and the roads weren't busy in the slightest, though I did hit a surprise pothole. 😅

If you have not trained your dog to recall, they should absolutely never be outside without a leash if you don't have a fence. Hard stop. 😡

School pickup with the bike went great! I had only one panic moment when I had trouble getting started again on a steep hill with the amount of weight on it (mostly mine, I am not small). I put carabiners on the frame to help secure their backpacks like panniers, which actually worked really well.

Started getting my kids used to riding with me on the cargo bike because school pick up would be considerably nicer without a car involved, and in the span of 15 minutes we went from "AAAAA I'M GONNA DIE" to "woohoo this is fun! ✨" 😂

Hey #bikehfx crew, I'm getting my kids their first bikes; where would you recommend that will deliver? I do not currently have a vehicle that can carry a bicycle of really any variety. Plus that whole "first bike" thing, I know the size of wheel they would have but not much else. 😅

Slow cooker picadillo is covered and going, which is good for a dreary day in which I would not have much time for cooking between after school activities and parent-teacher conferences. I just want a nap. 😭

Sometimes home renovations are lovely. Sometimes they’re well thought out and well-executed. …Other times one discovers the previous homeowner was a psycho. This is through the floor in a closet.

Over the past few days I’ve spent quite a few hours on busses and the ferry, and I have to say, I would really really like to have more options with transit. More destinations! More frequent trips!

Given current fuel prices, I think getting my kids to their March Break camps is going to be a transit adventure time. Hopefully the ferry runs on schedule next week! 🤞
