How to load bicycle on TTC buses

16 11 2009

There are 145 TTC routes now equipped with the bike racks on the front of the buses.

I have to admit that I’ve never done it partly due to the intimidation factor of trying to load a bike when I’ve never done it before…with a full bus of passengers waiting.

It looks pretty simple. I’ll give it a try one day and report back.

In case you were wondering how this is done, here’s the site with more information on the service as well as videos instructions.

Rant: What’s with not being able to play podcasts while using Nano with Nike+

Nike + Sports Kit

OK, I’m not sure what’s going on. It is either a bug, or a feature that only I want, but it makes not sense to me.

I’m happily logging my running kilometers on my Apple iPod Nano using the Nike+ iPod Sports Kit. You can use it to play your Playlists, or all your songs in shuffle mode while working out. You can even store a “power song” (which I’m guessing is Eye of the Tiger on most iPods) to perk you up when your energy is waning during the workout BUT, for some reason, podcasts isn’t on the list of sources when you go to start a Nike+ workout.

What gives with that? Yes, I like my tunes, but what’s wrong with listening to a podcast while running?

Here’s the workaround:
You can start playing your podcast BEFORE clicking on Nike+iPod.
From the Nike+iPod menu, choose the workout you wish to do as usual.
Then, choose “Now Playing” as your music source.

Irritating, but at least it works. Hopefully, Apple will work on this in a future release of the iPod firmware.
