Jacques Cartier bridge ahoy!

This week the Pont Jacques Cartier's sidewalks [url=http://www.montrealgazette.com/Travel/Jacques Cartier Bridge bike path reopens/1398468/story.html]officially re-open[/url]. The west side, which is more commonly used by cyclists, has been open since Wednesday morning; the east side, on which I've also cycled inbound to the city, will open sometime this week. Horray!

Let's keep in mind that we must all be sensitive to each others' tolerance for rickety squeaking
brakes around this time of year. Mine is pretty low, and my eardrums have been grinding at the sound and sight of the rusted heaps many folks have been daring to haul around lately. Good: cycling on good, safe bikes. Bad: cycling on ugly, rusted heaps.

Here at OTW we will be posting thorough springtime tune-up tips starting April 1. If you can't wait til then, might we suggest that you peruse some online tune-up
guides; two good ones are at (brief, to the point) and (has pretty fantastic instructional videos). It is possible your bike may need a more professional hand; if you suspect as much, go ahead and bring it into the shop. Odds are that your bike and your local bike mechanic would find the rendezvous mutually satisfying.

Happy, happy springtime.
