The ride today was much nicer. It was sunny and we went up to Mural Fest to see a marionette show. It was pretty neat.

Today’s ride in the context of all my Montreal rides:
A wet ride today that took us to BanQ to browse the kids section and eat delicious sandwiches that Doris made.
Going through the old port we took the dirt path that all the cyclists take because the path abruptly ends and you can choose to walk your bike beside the container stores or ride on de la Commune with all the angry people who drove to the old port and have to wait for parking. It was very muddy after the rain, but we were prepared with rain pants and hosed down our bikes when we got home.
Total trip distance: 8.57 km
Moving time: 0h 44m

A bit of a later post on last year’s transit, but better late than never.
My transit started to rebound in 2022, but I also started biking more often. The tradition of reporting since 2014 continues. I counted “unofficial” transfers on the STM as two rides. I took 45 rides in 2022. My rides were paid for using: Presto (4) and OPUS (41).
| Agency | Fare Media | Total Rides | Total Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| STL | OPUS | 1 | 4.50 |
| STM | OPUS | 40 | 173.45 |
| TTC | Presto | 4 | 12.80 |
I took more work transit rides in 2022 with some projects restarting at the airport. We took a trip to Toronto in June, and went to friends’ for dinner in Laval.
Weekday riding continues to be low (other than in 2017 when I was seconded to the airport for the summer). Historically, I stopped going to axe throwing league on Sundays from September 2018 so no longer have higher riding on that day.
Coming out of the pandemic slowly increased my transit use, but biking on my new cargo bike picked up more of the further away trips.
