Ottawa Biking Adventures

Lots of bike lane blocking again and a bunch of ill-advised right turns, but also quite a lot of nice stuff this time! Tulip fest at 00:47, Flora bridge at 01:40, a pretty path of my commute at 05:24 and a nice shot of the LRT at 05:34 and 06:35....

Quite a few blocked bike lanes and ill-advised right and left turns. Much of the usual stuff. Some commiserating at 00:54 and I did score a cutout model of the LRT at 03:58 though!

All the snow and ice is melting! Lots of cars blocking the bike lane again too. It was less for quite a while, but they seem to be back in force!

Lots of cars blocking the bike lanes again. They really do not seem to be aware at all. Also, skating on the canal at 01:08 and a fellow bike ride recording person at 05:16.

My January compilation of my #Ottawa bike commute! So many cars stopping way past the stop line and blocking cyclists and pedestrians. But also a lot of people skating on the Rideau Canal which is nice! (00:23 and 02:39). Some minor technical d...

A whole lot of snow and lots of bike lane blocking. Also some nice sights though and free coffee by Bike Ottawa at 02:12.

My commute video for November. First snow and thus immediate bike lane blocking. Also quite a bit of new biking infrastructure opened. Some better than others! A bit of protest at 3:26 too. Well-deserved pedestrian "signalling" at 5:00. 😆

Almost exclusively bike lane blockers this time. Barely any attempts to run me over this month so that's pretty good! Also featuring the slow bike race from the Bike on the Hill event at 01:54! And I have a new camera now. The AKASO Brave 7 ...

Not too much in the way of biking. Just cars blocking all the intersections and lanes. Bit of Pride parade though even though it was cancelled due to a protest. Also, my AKASO Brave 7LE bit the dust. Very sad. I'll have to get another camera no...

My commute for July. Not too eventful except for a blatant murder attempt at 03:31! Also quite a splash at 00:48.

My June 2025 commute compilation feature many bad drives as usual. Also a somewhat surreal encounter at 02:32. But there are also some more scenic routes at 04:09.

Sadly the April 2025 commute was lost due to a harddrive failure but here is the May 2025 commute! Plenty of cars misbehaving of course, but also some of the prettier parts of Ottawa and Gatineau. Though there was a very confusing detour at 01:18....

Snow is finally melting and the paths are clear again. Well, except for those blocked by cars of course! Also damage that was quickly fixed thanks to McCrank's!

My February 2025 commute. Lots and lots of snow around. And I mean lots! Some weird detour too at 01:26. Also, I lost a fair amount of footage because apparently my camera is only rated for above 0°c and it was -20°c at times. Oops!

My January commute. Nothing too special this time. Just a rather snowed under bike path on my way to the hardware store at 01:13 and canal skaters at 04:08. It was also very windy at 05:52!

My December commute. Pretty short since I was off for two weeks for the Holiday break. Lots of snow around. Still plenty of annoying car behaviour of course and also a really scary moment at 07:13!

Compilation of my commuting for for November. Starting to get chilly! Also featuring an outing to Gatineau at 00:13. The rest is mainly just cars being cars and a some commiserating with a fellow cyclist at 07:28.

Lots of pretty fall colours with a visit to Gatineau Parc. Also the usual car troubles of course.

My commuting for September 2024. Pretty meek this month! (And yes, published quite a few months late)

Compilation of the protest again Bill 212 which would have the Doug Ford government rip out existing bike lanes to make room for more car lanes. The protest was at Château Laurier on November 5th while Doug Ford wat in the hotel. He sneaked in fro...
