cecily walker — an intermittent record

How Green is My Valley

Keep ‘Em Down on the Farm

22 August 2010

Today’s bike adventure: a 25km circle farm tour sponsored by Slow Food Vancouver.

Hustle

29 July 2010

No helmet. Racing a city engineering truck down one of Vancouver’s busiest streets. He’s a braver man than I’ll ever be. I took this photo from a moving car. It was too hot and I was too cranky to bike into work yesterday, but I’m making up for it this weekend with a ride down [...]
