This is another Symphony New Brunswick photo. I scanned some of the images I initially missed. Tearsheets are in my official portfolio page for those interested.

One of the faithful local visitors to this blog is Joe Godin who is an activist and big promoter of urban cycling. He now has his own blog exploring possible network of bicycle trails in Greater Saint John area.

Here is one of the blogs I read regularly. It’s really more of a sporadic column than a blog, but it’s still a good read.

And Bush Administration wants Canada to join this thing. Why would anybody in their right mind do that is beyond me.

I am a great admirer of Magnum but this is the ultimate Christmas spoiler :-(

Here is the last photograph in my The Hague series.

Last year I bought some lights for my bike in Saint John. The package was fairly simple to install, but it did include a battery which irritates me somewhat because I have to change it and keep an eye on it to ensure my lights are working properly.

There is another way of doing that, of course. When I was a kid growing up in Croatia, I had one of the dynamo gadgets attached to my front wheel as well. As the wheel turns, it produces enough energy to power your front and back light on the bike. It saves you money on the batteries, it’s energy efficient and environmentally friendly – batteries are among the worst pollutants.
