Mississippi Mills Bicycle Month

Love this! We named Lanark County’s Warden’s Slow Roll after this one from Detroit.
Wonder what ever happened to the Wardens Slow Roll?

The Return of Slow Roll: Rebooting Detroit’s most joyful bike ride For years, Slow Roll Detroit was one of the largest weekly rides in North America, as much a civic ritual as a cycling event.

Did you know? Recent studies show that cycling for just 30 minutes, three times a week, can actually strengthen your brain’s memory hub and improve your recall. And here’s something that might surprise cyclists over 40: you don’t have to push yourself to exhaustion or smash intense intervals to see the benefits. Riding in Zone 2 is enough.

This means maintaining a steady, conversational pace where talking in full sentences is still easy. A ride that feels gentle rather than grueling. Your legs get warm but not burned out, and your heart rate stays around 60 to 70 percent of its maximum.

That’s the optimal range for boosting both your fitness and your brain.

280 million e-bikes are slashing oil demand far more than electric vehicles E-bikes and scooters displace 4x as much demand for oil as all of the EVs in the world.

When safety is inconvenient, people stop choosing it. We don’t need high tech fixes, just small proven changes used in cities around the world. Downtown isn’t different from other neighborhoods. People live there, work there, eat there, and too often die there. The issue isn’t space, it’s priorities. Cars take up what could be safe delivery zones and public streets for people. We have room for everyone when safety comes first. #SafeStreets #UrbanDesign #WalkableCities #TacticalUrbanism #CityPlanning

We joined the kids of the Alameda Bike Bus in Portland this morning for the ride to school. We had a smile on our faces the entire time. #TheWarOnCars #bikes #bike #bicycle #podcasts #lifeaftercars #booktour

It's #CycleToSchoolWeek Drivers remember, people who cycle are more vulnerable on the roads Look out for them and give them space When passing a cyclist, give them as much room as you would when overtaking a car, at least 1.5-2metres #RespectEveryonesJourney . . .
