@ascentale @Weather_Rock_Wx @bikenite A3. I have more than one, for different reasons. I’m fortunate in that #WaterlooRegion has a *lot* of options. I can easily cycle out to quiet country roads from my urban home in 20 minutes. But I can also enjoy MUPs to get to brewery patios that make for a great destination. And as I’ve written here before, I love cycling to get my groceries!

These choices *all* give me a mental break, and they're integrated into my life 😀🚴🏼‍♀️❤️

On the right there’s a multi-use path with a cyclist on it. In the centre and left is a space filled with people outside of a craft brewery There are tents and bikes visible.

A rural road recedes to the distant horizon. On either side of the road there are trees and grass. The sky is blue, with a few white clouds.

@Weather_Rock_Wx asks:

Q3. Where is your favorite place to bicycle to get away from the news cycle? Photo sharing encouraged.

(Don't worry, we will still have our traditional Q8! But an additional question, does cycling help you take a needed mental break?)

#BikeNite A2: "Depth" of cycling culture is a relative thing. I'm probably deeper than 90% of the cyclists in #WaterlooRegion: I commute regularly, go on group rides, belong to @CycleWR, fix my own bike (mostly), and have volunteered at #RedRaccoonBikeRescue

But I don't race or belong to a racing club, haven't bikepacked or done overnight trips, don't wear lycra, have only one bike, and haven't written a @CyclingGuide app.

@MartyCormack asks:

I'm pretty deep into cycling culture/lifestyle/community as I ride multiple bikes, ride nearly daily, microblog about it, advocate for it, participate in bike events, bike tour/bikepack etc. But I am not as deep as others as I don't build or refurbish bikes, I don't race, I don't watch cycling sports, etc.

Q2. How deep (or shallow) are you into cycling culture/lifestyle/community?

#BikeNite A1: Posting from #WaterlooRegion, and likely will be doing so in these snowbound times.

We imposed ourselves at my sister's house this past week, and picked up food from a Chinese take-out place to be less of an imposition. It's really close to her house, has probably been there for decades, but I haven't lived there in decades, so it was new to me.

Surprisingly good food from a tiny little shop that's not very visible from the main street. Will take out again.

Welcome to #BikeNite on Friday, January 9th.

Thanks for joining our chat about cycle-related stuff. Answer whenever at your convenience. Anyone can join, now or later. Reply to what you like, and boost for visibility.

Our intro:

Q1. Where are you posting from today? And a non-cycling question: What is something tasy that you ate recently?
