Cancelled On Account of Rain (and Idiot Drivers)

Riding my NIU UQi+ around Montreal. After purchasing a second (extended range) battery for my e-moped, I wanted to test a much range I have on a full charge of the original (standard range) battery. But, after nearly crashing into a car that didn't stop, and when unpredicted rain fell for a few hours, I had to cancel my plans and make my way back because I have classes to attend.
Sit back and ENJOY THE RIDE!

Cool. Aren't you afraid of getting doored running alongside parked cars? Seems like a hazard to me..what with pushing your one meter safty envelope? Jay from Picton Ont Que the piano yikes

When there is no traffic behind me, I usually move into the regular car lane, and I do keep an eye open for any silhouettes of heads inside the parked cars. There are only about 100 bikes getting doored per year in my city, so the odds are low, but I keep it in mind.
I don't have much of a choice to ride next to parked cars, since my UQi+ is legally an e-bike (it's got pedals on it, but I don't use them) and in Quebec I have certain limitations. Also, because my e-moped has footrests, I'm not even suppose to go on bike paths (extra city bylaws in Montreal), but cops tolerate it since it's safer for me and takes me off the main roads.
