Dan Peterson @danp.net · 27/09/2026Big Bird bump during the 11 pm and 12 am hours last night halifax-bird-activity.exe.xyz (I've seen more drivers doing full-on video calls while driving lately, drivers are out of control and no one is doing anything about it) 2110
Dan Peterson @danp.net · 15/09/2026We have acquired unspeakable powers. Come join us in putting them to good use Sunday! hfx.bike/party 6396
Dan Peterson @danp.net · 13/09/2026Today’s #KidicalMassHfx ride making the turn from Harvard to Allan! 14513
Dan Peterson @danp.net · 07/09/2026It’s not on the @hfxrec.bsky.social pool website but the Commons pool has an expanded open swim schedule today 184
Dan Peterson @danp.net · 31/08/2026For some reason there are newly-planted trees on Bayers Rd just east of the rail bridge. What. (there should be an extension of the MUP there to either a MUP to replace the bridge sidewalk or a new AT bridge) 2131
Dan Peterson @danp.net · 29/08/2026Nice to see this going in to make it easier for folks walking and rolling to get into the Almon Shoppers parking lot. The whole Richmond Yards area needs more pedestrian friendly changes, such as a mid block crossing for Shoppers. 1120
Dan Peterson @danp.net · 24/08/2026I got some stickers as part of this order. They are a bit different from the bikes good mayor bad ones @stmack.bsky.social made. I can get you one or more! 130
Dan Peterson @danp.net · 18/08/2026Got it! Here's the finished one and the "how did you get here" one again from early June. 040
Dan Peterson @danp.net · 16/08/2026Also saw the beginnings of the Bayers Rd construction closure. Too many cars! And too many drivers using the bus lanes. 040
Dan Peterson @danp.net · 16/08/2026Lovely summer evening ride to the Bravo Festival's Bird Watch circus show at the Bella Rose Arts Centre attached to Halifax West HS. Conditions varied along the way! 170
Dan Peterson @danp.net · 06/08/2026Avoid the Macdonald bridge (if driving) I guess? Took me the same 11 minutes to get from Wyse and Boland to home as it always does. 🚲 0141
Dan Peterson @danp.net · 06/08/2026Hauling stuff is fun! We thrifted a table (in the bucket) and chairs (on the back of my bike) for the deck. A delightful hot summer evening #BikeHfx outing. 2272
Dan Peterson @danp.net · 14/07/2026A pretty funny inside baseball HRM Council clip. Consider who Councillor Austin might be looking at with Deputy Mayor Cuttell acting as chair of the meeting. 120
Dan Peterson @danp.net · 08/07/2026Glorious #BikeHfx ride to Birdies for their weekly special (Gochujang!!!). Made it from the North End to there and back in under an hour during “rush hour.” 1130
Dan Peterson @danp.net · 01/07/2026Hit 20,000 km on my @ternbicycles.com HSD while at Kouchibouguac National Park. Fitting as there are a lot of Common Terns there! 0221
Dan Peterson @danp.net · 26/06/2026Had a very good time at the Propeller last Thursday of the month jazz jam! (I played Footprints, Beatrice, and Nardis) 0111
Dan Peterson @danp.net · 20/06/2026Blew up the Dahlia counts for the day on our way the #BikeHfx Woodlawn Bike Rally this morning. Great turnout! There is demand for better cycling everywhere. 1395
Dan Peterson @danp.net · 14/06/2026A joyful exit from Purdys Wharf to Hollis as part of this morning’s #KidicalMassHfx ride. What a day! 66222
Dan Peterson @danp.net · 08/06/2026Cleaning up my desktop and found this gem from when I booked our Amsterdam flights 070
Dan Peterson @danp.net · 06/06/2026Did a little Devonshire #BikeHfx trimming this morning, phew. Should be possible to ride up and down without hitting one’s head or having to avoid too much. Knotweed before and after: 2322
Dan Peterson @danp.net · 01/06/2026A little shortcut for this: go to a user's profile (can be your own), click the "..." next to Follow / Following / Edit Profile, and click "Search posts" 230
Dan Peterson @danp.net · 30/05/2026A few days ago I tweaked my Halifax Bird (scooter/ebike) out-of-bounds parking map to try and deduce if a vehicle has stayed in the same place, and for how long Saw this example today and found it on the map! It's been there at least 2 days, 9 hours 2100
Dan Peterson @danp.net · 15/05/2026Also saw this sweet Baboe on the little cycling street. Should have done a full sticker scan! 110
Dan Peterson @danp.net · 15/05/2026The Metro station nearest my hotel was right under the Sagrada Familia so it was pretty wild being very tired and coming up from below ground to this. Pretty remarkable and was cool to get inside as part of a tour while I was there. 170
Dan Peterson @danp.net · 15/05/2026I was at the airport for departure pretty early and it has some nice terraces (even if some are shared with smokers). If I had known the "EU exit" point of no return was so soon I would have spent more time outside. 110
Dan Peterson @danp.net · 15/05/2026I also only took public transit (if Aerobus for part of my way into the city centre is included). Metro was packed but very frequent and pleasant. The lit up route maps showing past/upcoming/current/future stations were helpful. No doors between cars made for neat effects during turns. 130
Dan Peterson @danp.net · 15/05/2026I’m back from a few days in Barcelona where I was able to do some cycling with Lime bikes. Pretty nice! 1273
Dan Peterson @danp.net · 08/05/2026Caught our new #BikeHfx sweeper on Hollis out for its very first sweep! 8576
Dan Peterson @danp.net · 12/04/2026Saw these “fiets tellers” (bicycle counters) in Amsterdam, like this one in Rembrandtpark. They make it very clear it’s not a camera. We have counters in Halifax, too! Take that, “we are not Amsterdam.” 0131
Dan Peterson @danp.net · 10/04/2026Here are another three that were hanging out on Nieuwe Herengracht earlier in the week! 070
Dan Peterson @danp.net · 09/04/2026So many tulips and other blooms! And trees with forming leaves, oh my. Here’s a pic @bikehfxlobby.bsky.social got at Hortus Botanticus 190
Dan Peterson @danp.net · 09/04/2026We're back from a week in Amsterdam. Enjoy some tram on grass with people cycling by. 2242
Dan Peterson @danp.net · 31/03/2026Was just reminded this used to be a thing archive.halifax.ca/archive/fina... 130
Dan Peterson @danp.net · 26/03/2026Best way to get to my last inhaled COVID vaccine study appointment at IWK? Bike, of course. 4270
Dan Peterson @danp.net · 25/03/2026Was so taken with how things changed as I rode home that I forgot I was hitting 19,000 km on my bike! 1120
