Hans on the Bike is living in the Ottawa-Gatineau National Capital Region in Canada since 1998. This blog covers travels, cycling, skiing, hiking. He throws in the odd recipe, mostly so that he can find it back.

Hans on the Bike is not a very competitive cyclist; most of the time he is cycling around town doing errands or guiding tourists while waving to friends.

As a bicycle tour guide, he hears tons of great feed back from people from all over the world. Even from the Dutch! This is encouraging.

Ms. Hans on the Bike cycles too and is often the voluntold for Hans’ pictures. She famously declared she was not going to bike below +10C but lowered the treshold to -10C over time.
