I had heard about bike share many years ago as it was piloting in several cities. The first time I actually witnessed it was in Montreal two years ago. Awesome! Bixi everywhere the eye could see. It was great to see how the actual design of the bikes was carried out and will certainly be interesting to see the bike share bikes of tomorrow.
I came across this in my interweb travels today. It sparked my love of design, and here it is for you.

Check out these heritage styled panniers from MEC.ca I stumbled on today. Quick drying, roll-up able, and real leather straps. Quite dandy, I say.

Head to this link for more info.... http://www.mec.ca/panniers

So, Matt Neville from the Halifax Cycling Coalition has made something amazing happen!
He has brought us an interactive map of Halifax that pinpoints both the joys and sore spots of cycling in Halifax.  Best of all, it's us cyclists who contribute to the increasingly detailed map.

Check it out and contribute please. The more populated this map the more fuel we have to bring to city planners and officials to make needed changes.

So I wrote a piece on winter cycling for the Halifax Cycling Coalition. I thought I would share it here. Since I am not out to invent the wheel, It is a collection of common and not so common sense. 

Enjoy and ride safe!
