It's a gorgeous, crisp day for my last #BikeDays ride of the year! 😔
Just wish I could keep going all the way to Beachconers instead of going to work.

NCC's bikedays news gets even worse, #ottbike fam, not only is the KZM only open from 8am-noon on Sat/Sun, but the NCC apparently caved to the car mayor and the QED will have *no* weekday/24 hour closure period during the summer, just weekends like the KZM and SGEC.

I have to waste part of this gorgeous Sunday on a trip to the grocery store.
I'd love to make a long ride of it and use KZM to ride as far as Westboro, but #BikeDays ended 90 mins ago, and the MUP will no doubt be jam-packed with people.

In short, the NCC is keeping shortened hours for their Bikedays this year. This is counter to the city and NCC claiming to try to promote more and better active transportation options like walking and cycling.
My pitch of piloting a weekday Bikeday during the summer made it into the article!

And SO MANY people enjoying KZM!
I think @ncc-ccn.gc.ca should turn those "obey traffic signals" signs to face drivers tho. Three drivers blew the red light at IPD.

Sad. Last @ncc-ccn.gc.ca Bikedays weekend of the year. I hope next year they re-extend the hours 8-4 (at least).
Went for a little out-and-back along the KZM, checked out the Hintonburg Pumping Station and had some hot apple cider at Remic Bistro. Will get one last parkway run in tomorrow morning.

You have to kind of read between the lines to see that the closure of the QED from Pretoria to Somerset will now be only on weekends between 8 am and 8 pm. It will not be closed 24/7 as it was last year.
Another step back by the NCC. Traffic continues to build on what should not be a major artery.
