I recently finished a book about Wayfinding. Not about signs and arrows, but about how our brain functions. It was a fascinating read and I realised cycling ticks a lot of the boxes if you want to maintain a healthy brain. Let's look how wayfinding works and how your brain is involved.

Modern medicine has never investigated the link between adults commuting to work by bicycle and children's cancer. Chip in to prove there is one! 😉

A solid #OttBike adventure with the kids today:
🚲 On the KZM, enjoying the wide space.
🚲 Behind Parliament, finally open again!
🚲 Made them haul their bikes across the locks.
🏊❌ Considered swimming at East Wharf but some floating garbage turned them off it.
🚲 Alexandra Bridge!
🏊🏊🏊 Swam at the history museum docks, had a blast.
🚲 Biked along the north shore for a bit, crossed back (Chaudiere to the Zibi park pathway with the MUP bridge behind the war museum)
🌭 Had lunch at Remic Rapids, there was a band playing in the park beside the patio 🎵
🚲 Biked home along the Ottawa River Pathway.
20+ km on their little legs (plus a good amount of swimming). Super impressed.
The bolt holding the bike seat to the post sheared off today, making the seat flip back as I was riding. Pretty scary and also an odd fail for the bolt. Thought @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org might find it interesting!

Late June, we biked to the south end of Orléans from Nepean. Finding a route away from motorised traffic was a bit of a challenge because of the provincial highways and busy arterials, but we managed mostly on pathways in the end. #ottbike #Biketooter #cycling #Ottawa
i'm looking for an Android app or website that uses OpenStreetMap and will not only give me a bike route with elevation, but tell me where the peaks and valleys are, and has an option for routing with the flattest land.
does such a thing exist? i swear i saw something like that at some point but now i can't find it.

Hey #ottbike I have great news: https://OttawaByBike.ca is now a community wiki.
Yes, that's right, you can go and contribute just like for Wikipedia. Anyone can edit!
