Local Bike Sightings in August

My wife caught me bike spotting at Welland's mall.

This is my bike trailer. It is very awkward when loaded. I am looking for something better.

Bike at Blackdown

At Blackdown  Cadet Base, at CFB Borden, there was a farewell parade sending off the cadets from their three week course. Our son was there studying the bagpipes. This army cadet leader pulled up during the ceremony on his mountain bike.

It is a diamondback full suspension. I asked if it was standard issue military, and he replied that no, it is just his own personal property. Better than walking though, which is what we had to do to get to our car.

I guess there are conflicting rules about headgear. Clearly, this guy alternates between a bike helmet and his regulation beret.
