Cycling in Waterloo Region

[chutten]

I've come up with a pretty good little routine for brushing off the snow and then cleaning my chain, maybe I'll make a little video.  This is the little device I bought for cleaning my chain - it's super easy to use, and it only takes about 2 minutes to clean the chain, dry it off, and re-lube after each ride.

• MEC - Filzer CC-3 Chain Cleaner ($32)
  
• MEC - 4L BioCycle Chain Cleaner Fluid ($22)
  

That's neat. I always struggle to remember to keep my chain clean. Sometimes I forget so long visible rust appears and starts clunking around the sprockets :( Maybe this sort of thing would lower the activation energy needed enough that I'll get into some proper habits and stop being quite so bad to my bicycle.

While I'm here, by popular request, here's the rough outline of the parking lot as well. (I put in some of the parking lanes where it was easy to do so, and added in our friend Galaxy Cinemas to complete the picture). I knew I left my project files open for a reason:
   

I'm not 100% on what Google Maps' licensing terms are, but my modifications I release into the Public Domain. Feel free to use as you will: Tweet to effect social change, remix to highlight uptown's parking, share with elected officials, whatever.
