Original post on ottawa.place

My winter tires are at end of life (starting to get slow leaks from tiny punctures from the studs poking back through), but considering I got them in 2018 I'm resigned that they've had a good life and am using tape inside and carrying a small pump to get through these last few weeks.

Feburary 2026 Commute Lots of cars blocking the bike lanes again. They really do not seem to be aware at all. Also, skating on the canal at 01:08 and a fellow bike ride recording person at 05:16.

My compilation for February of my #Ottawa Biking Adventures are done.

Also includes a fair bit of skating on the canal too actually! Other than that, a whole lot of cars blocking the bike lane again.

Nice to know the city maintains a level of mediocrity for Winter Cycling Network snow clearing.

Once again, the plow driver seems to not know west of IPD exists. As well as the stupid angles at Northwestern, where they just drove over the curb. 🤦🏼

One plow width, passable to challenging. #ottbike

I biked over to check out the new Almanac location on Beech St (it’s great! You should check it out) and there were zero cars parked along Wellington St in Hintonburg.

For a brief moment, I experienced the future of bike lanes on Wellington’s and it was wonderful. #ottbike

NCC Creating bike lanes on canal parkways – Old Ottawa South Community Association

Huh, so the NCC is putting bike lanes on QE Dr and CB Dr, to supplement the overburdened MUPs. The catch? Summer only, and worse, unidirectional: QE Dr for northbound, CB Dr for southbound. #ottbike

@seandevine9.bsky.social @lainejohnson.bsky.social @timtierney.ca @riverwardriley.bsky.social if Quebec City (winter city after all) can make it work, yes we can too #ottbike

FYI #ottbike ppl. Good chance the Rideau River underpasses will start flooding today. Particularly the Hurdman Bridge. Likely Bank Street is already flooded. 417 (east and west) are probably okay.

Beware Scott EB bike lane users: the sign post on Scott SW corner at Clifton is now leaning at a 45° angle, at about shoulder height, and impeding on the bike lane space a bit.

If you're too far left, you'll probs hit it.

Reported to 311.

Say, whatever happened to the bike share announcement that I thought was hinted to have happened last fall 🤔 #ottbike

G7 capitals without bike share should gove back their keys.

POV from Cargo bike of pathway where snow has been piled up in front of the path so it can’t connect to the parking lot/road

In case anyone was wondering if the Hampton Park pathway is clear…it is clear save for a few puddles and still quite narrow. But it is does end in this snow bank. #ottbike #ottbiketraffic

That said. Let's take bets on making it to Champlain Lookout?

I will be reporting the sunken section west of Smirle that they did a terrible job repairing last year, next week when I can get a good photo of it.

#ottbike conditions report, Scott EB:

Pretty smooth sailing, except for residential construction blocking the bike lane during the day, just east of Caroline.
(You're meant to just join the traffic lane)

Signage in the way, but passable tonight.

It's okay on the north bound side, not okay on the south bound side.
Take caution #ottbike #ottwalk

AND! There's quite an impressive soft ice lake on the north side of the Somerset overpass on Trillium.
Would not recommend hitting that at any speed heading north.

We recently advocated for improved bike-parking standards in #OttCity’s new Zoning By-law, arguing that providing adequate bike parking fosters Council’s commitments to supporting sustainable transportation.

One of our Council Watchers became curious about the cost of bike parking. 👀 #OttBike

Snowbanks were removed on Armstrong in the past 24 hours, and there are some REALLY bad patches of thick snirt now. Like, horizontal snowbanks instead of vertical.

Take care #ottbike!

American Economist Lant Pritchett proposed that changes to social norms generate 4 reactions:

1. First Perceived as Silly
2. Then Controversial
3. Then Progressive
4. Then Obvious

On No RTOR in the urban core, City council and staff are somewhere between (1) and (2)
