15 July 2007 - The things you see and the people you meet on Alcatel-Lucent Bike Sundays in Ottawa!
Today was a great day to be out on the Colonel By Drive for Biking Sunday. Unlike last weekend it didn't rain. Unlike the weekend before that (Canada Day) the event was actually "on" this time and not canceled!
We met lots of great people who stopped us to as about our quadracycle and saw some pretty interesting ways of getting around - as the photos show. The complete story is in our on-line journal.

Here is a look at an interesting bike - a Quetzal Misterio recumbent with under-seat steering and 105 gears!
The owner, Peter, explains the Quetzal Misterio to us.
There were also cross country skiers on the drive.
And also hand-propelled trikes, too.
We got a close parking spot at the Second Cup on Laurier. The parking spot was too small for a car anyway.

There were still some Tiger Lilies blooming along the canal.
