A 4 seasons blog about joys and frustrations of getting around your city without a car. Whether you’re a cheapskate, tree hugger, cycling enthusiast or all of the above you’ll find like minds here.
We live and work in Waterloo Region in southern Ontario where the weather runs the gamut. For most, winter means bringing the bikes indoors and breaking out the trainers. We’re trying to break that mold and stick it out.
So this will be a place to whine about weather, vent about drivers, rave about gear, share maintenance tips, brag about great finds and celebrate human powered commuting.
Hey you in Waterloo! Thanks for stopping by my site recently. I’ve added a link to Waterloo Bikes from I Cycle Hamilton.
Have been going around my neighbourhood, and a bit beyond, handing out and posting my calling cards. Will let you know what, if any, the community response is. So far most people, shop owners and those on the street, have reacted quite positively to the card and to what I am trying, that is make Hamilton a more liveable, cycle-friendly city.
Cheers!
Enjoyed the article in the record (http://news.therecord.com/News/Local/article/824956) and came to check out your blog. Keep up the good work.
Much enjoyed today’s article on winter cycling in The Record. Good job getting a mention, too, Graham.
Nice to see a cycling blog from Waterloo, ON. I grew up there and moved away to Toronto, Vancouver, etc. We did cycle from Toronto via Guelph to Waterloo. Ended near Elmira. This was over 10 yrs. ago.
I was stunned by the amount of urban development between Conestoga Mall and St. Jacob’s. Sad. While going to university, I worked at the mall and do remember corn fields right beside the mall.
Keep blogging about the area, keep riding and draw more local support to develop K-W’s cycling infrastructure.

Thanks for the vote of encouragement! Waterloo Region is definitely growing and there’s a cycling contingent that’s growing and needs to be more vocal, hopefully we can help.
Thanks a bunch for passing along that link Graham!
I’ve been slacking off the past couple of weeks and regrettably our local radio media (which is suppose to cover ALL of Niagara), won’t mention stories that make motorists look bad in any way, especially when a cyclist is involved :\
hey, great blog! love it :)
