Folks, I hate to add to the stack, but... I need help
Bailey, my pitbull-corgi, may have cancer. An emergency late-night visit just led to this horrible discovery.
Bailey is my whole world and I failed to plan. I am sorry. Any help you can offer at this link is welcome.

Lamplit Art Society. I will pass your message along, it will be appreciated. ποΈπ Theyβve worked so hard on it! Hopefully the event happens again next year. The entire event seemed like a huge success- so many people attended!

My husband was one of the people that put on the display in the sunken gardens at the museum. I'm so proud of him! <3
Borrowed a Box Bike from @familycycles.bsky.social
I have to admit, I was sad to say goodbye after only 7 days...

Not only is it great to see Victoria getting recognized for being an amazing, and family friendly, cycling city but it's awesome to see all the pride in the many posts about this video here.π₯°

A sign your city is doing bike infrastructure right: you can move a bike shop by bike π

Thrrr little piglets munching (& making adorable grunting sounds) on vegetables. One is black and white spotted, one is brown with black spots and one is mostly brown.
Everyone in the #yyjbike community needs to hop on their bikes and ride up Lochside to say βhiβ to the new little piglets! They are adorable (making the cutest little grunting sounds). I just noticed them on my way home last night and literally slammed on my brakes to stop for a visit. ππ² π
Love to see it! Especially those cargo bikes! π€©

I love maintenance free things. My #ebike belt drive and internal gear hub never needs any cleaning, oiling, anything. After almost 3 years of commuting almost every day in #yyj and #saanich. No squeaky or rusty chains, or sketchy shifting. It just works. Awesome! #cargobikelife
I learned the @victoria.ca bike valet at city hall hit their all time single day record with over 370 bikes on Deuce Day Sunday. Kudos to the bike valet team for handling a huge surge. Next time a decicated bike valet on site would be needed for sure! π π΄π΄ββοΈπ΄ββοΈ #yyj

Had to go out to pick up dinner after I got home from work. Stopped at a local farm stand to grab some cherries on the way. Couldnβt wait til I got home to eat some. π π²
A bakfiets cargo bike with an overflowing bag of groceries, a backpack and a 12-pack case of Bubly water in the front.
Unplanned grocery trip on the way home from work? No problem with my favourite bike! π

Beat the summer heat at the beach! Fit our stuff and a little sun shelter in our cargo bike and parked at a rack steps from the sand. Love shoes like Natives for pedaling and beach walking #cargobikelife #yyj #saanich
A selfie of me in my bike helmet with my Brompton behind me. Weβre stopped on a wooden bridge surrounded by greenery and water.
Tired as usual these days, yesterday was a bike+bus day.
I took the bus for 30 min (β19 km) then biked the last 25 min/7 km to my doctorβs office.
After work the next bus wasnβt for 26 minutes so I biked all the way home (1 hr/23 km).
Loving my new electric Brompton π

Reason #2467754346 why Cargo bikes make great car replacements: you can bring something large and awkward (like an inflatable paddle board & paddle) βjust in caseβ you might use it when you meet a friend for a swim. I didnβt end up using it but was glad for the option.

Itβs been a while since I had any cargo bike newbies join me for a ride but last week some friends came over on the holiday Tuesday and one of the passengers in this photo really wanted to check out the new splash park near my house.

Stoked to see the Sidney chapter of the Cycling Without Age Society getting some well deserved attention on the Upside on @cheknews.ca tonight.

Absolutely! Rent a cargo bike while you're here! www.familycycles.ca/rentals/
A front loader cargo bike with a tall brown garbage can and a small green organics bin up front. A backpack pannier is on the rear rack.
I use my cargo bike for everything- including taking the garbage and Organics bins up and down our long driveway.

Two inverted U bike racks with bikes parked on each
Checked out a new cafe, Azure Pier, in Brentwood Bay on Fri. Nice to have bike parking out front. Canβt beat the patio (on a dock in the bay) & the latte was great! Iβll definitely be spending time here in the future! Itβs so quiet all around there (no heavy traffic noise on the patio). #CSaanByBike
