San Juan Islands? OK, then point your face at the brightest cloud.

Evidently the town of Langley on Whidbey Island allows golf carts on city roads. There was a "begin golf cart zone" sign at the entrance to the city, and we took this photo on the way out of town.

For the sake of maintaining cycling fitness I have "vacation bikes" stashed with family in two locations. Currently, I'm visiting my folks in Courtenay BC, and I've taken long rides every day I've been here, except a few days ago when it rained all day.

I'm done for the year. My last two possible cycling days were spent on family business out of state. I will probably be cycling later this week but for now I've left the wife alone with the baby for four days on each of the last two weekends and I'm trying to take a load off her now to make up for it.

Which island? For whatever reason, you have me thinking of Protection Island, just off of the City of Nanaimo.
Maybe you could borrow a bike, from one of the island residents or something like that.
As to the question "How do I cope?" If I don't have my bike handy, I walk.
