Pro tip: after you give so much space to cars, don't forget to make sure pedestrians blame it on the cyclists by banning them in lakeside parks. /s
On a positive note, an army of bats didn't seem too disturbed living in the trees along these traffic jams and flew at dusk. I had never seen so many bats at once!
Lyon by bicycle is always a breeze! The Vélo'v rental bike pricing is a bit sneaky though (not surprised coming from JCDecaux): beyond the first 30 minutes they show prices like 0.05-0.15€/min instead of 3-9€/h. And even with the 4€ "day pass" you still pay extra per the minute!
That said the bicycles were better maintained than in Montpellier.

It's been a while since I achieved a major milestone with #Zwift, so it feels pretty good to share that I just hit a 52 week streak!
I've been dying to go for a longer (for me, that means longer than about 15km) ride for weeks. We have an important multi use path that connects the valley with a bunch of higher elevation neighborhoods that's been closed during the week for a couple of months due to major erosion-proofing work they're doing. But, it being Sunday, it was open and useable.
I managed to get 30km in today, and although the weather was due to get weird it fortunately held off until I was finished. It's been pretty cool lately, but I'm hoping to be riding more consistently soon. (It was all of 4C when I started, better than the -2 when I woke up)

You can either use road space efficiently, or you can have cars.
It's 68°F and blow your bike sideways windy: storm is coming. #cycling #warmth #windy but not #CalmBeforeAnotherStorm
I've been doom scrolling through my notifications for ages and can't find a reply from someone who had a cycle blog which involved them documenting their journey through Europe/France... if that was you, please let me know so I can read up on your experiences! I'm looking at cycling the length of France as part of the EuroVelo 1 route. #EuroVelo #Cycling #Cylce #Bikes #Camping

It was a glrorious afternoon for a bike ride once the rain stopped. I cycled to a couple of stores to pick up some things, and it was lovely to see how many people (and dogs) were walking and cycling on the multi-use paths.
My main goal, though, was to test new @CyclingGuide functionality, including a simple dashboard while cycling. There are still glitches to work out, but overall it's working well. He's a short clip showing it working.
I just saw a father with a 4-5 year old daughter #cycling by, both on their own #bike. It is mid March. #biketooter #velotaf #Ottawa
Hey, #Android users -
Any good / bad experiences with FitoTrack? Looking to migrate away from #Strava. Doing strength training and #running mostly these days, with an occasional swim or #cycling. Will it work? Boosts / alternative options welcome (also debian-friendly instead of apps).

A4. Leaving aside bikepacking gear, I would choose my Wolf Tooth Master Link Pliers. Perfect for a saddlebag with limited space. They're lovely and so far, thankfully, unused!
