RANTWICK - Commuter Cycling in London Ontario | A Bike Blog

I've been attempting to promote my new kids picture book on all the socials. I created a new profile on most of them (pcnugnugs) so I could shamelessly plug my book without bothering my friends. ...

Well, it seems obvious that I've pretty much stopped posting here or making videos; I'm sorry but I guess I've been distracted by new things, one of which was writing and illustrating a children'...

I had a really nice commute a while ago thanks to a few nice things happening. In this case I ended up recording myself telling the Rantwick clan all about it, and insodoing discovered I'm much m...

As my interactions with this blog seem to dwindle despite my best intentions, I still circle back when I have something good to post. A tree in fully furious fall foliage remains one of my favour...

Hello, long time no write, right? Not much writing in this post either, just a video to share. The video has all relevant info in it, so here: Yer Pal, R A N T W I C K

Hello! I've been like most people lately, just keepin' on keepin' on. I have not been enjoying the feeling of being sort of painted into a corner in which one feels angry at some people pretty mu...

There are 3 blog posts between this post and the King of Autumn post from last year. All evidence points to my pretty much stopping with this blog. However, I still have a great deal of affection...

Bet that title brought you in. Now you just get to see this listing from kijiji: That tube does not believe in all these stupid labels we put on everything. Good for you, tube. Yer Pal, ...

Hi all, hope yer brains are holding up. It ain't easy, I know. My workplace is considered "essential", so I have been going to work every day, which is a slightly scary blessing compared to stayi...

Yes, it is that time again. Strangely, the King has almost always been an orange colour when I post him, but the first time he was a glowing yellow. As I've mentioned in other years, he is orange...

You just never know what you may encounter on your bike. Witness: For a second there, I thought I might encounter a bumper at high speed! Yer Pal, R A N T W I C K

First off I want to post a picture of my Fat bike with a clean drivetrain: In the middle of winter when my drivetrain is a thing of nightmares, I may well come to this post, sigh deeply...

After mentioning that my Fat bike had become my number one commuter, of course I ended up riding my "skinny" (32c) tired bike for a few weeks and man, has it ever been good. It's almost like I en...

The fat bike I've been enjoying for some time now has become my #1 commuter, even in summer. While not as fast as some of my bikes, it is comfortable and fun. Given my remaining balance issues, ...

Earlier I posted a lovely picture using Instagram, mostly because Insta lets me easily shoot it to Twitter and Facebook at the same time. Trouble is, Insta crops the image into a near square. ...

It would seem I'm quite willing to let the blog slide these days. However, it would feel wrong not to post a picture of this Autumn's King; I have been doing it for 10 YEARS! Here he is, loo...

Hey, just touching base. Everything is going great, riding weather is beautiful. I've been riding to work and back most days, but not much else. For the one or two people who are friends on Stra...

I had an encounter with a motorist yesterday during which he honked at me. We had words and he called me a "dickhead"! I felt totally wronged at the time but when I review the video, as you're a...

One of the Seven Deadly Sins, Sloth, has intruded upon my blog writing. I think it started with an actual Sloth... I heard somewhere that there was a Sloth Riding a Bicycle (with chainlin...

I've been bringing my bike indoors when I get to work, partly for security and partly so the hubs thaw out and roll better again for a little while. When it is covered with snow and muck and slu...

This morning I broke my previous record for cold weather cycling by 1 degree C, making my new coldest ride temp -24C (-11F). For some cold weather cyclists this is of course child's play, but I ...
