I was in Whitehorse, the capital of the Yukon, with a population of around 35,000, or about three quarters of the population of this territory. I had a small amount of time for a quick walk around downtown with the Fujifilm X100VI so read on for some bicycle scenes from Whitehorse…

The Yukon is famous for the Klondike gold rush which started in the late 1800’s and many of the buildings from the time still exist today. The fat bike is probably a more recent addition to the Whitehorse streetscape…

The colourful historic buildings make for very aesthetic frontages. Getting Bergen vibes from these ones, but that’s to be confirmed later this year…

Not all of the old frontages made it through to today though… It would be good to see some wood panels retrofitted on the newer frontages…

Plenty of people getting around by bike…

This was the one place I recall from being here many years ago… We watched the Dutch take some terrible penalties here later this evening… Would have been neat to see a Canada/Netherlands game at the World Cup…

Love all the old signs on the old buildings… Again, our modern aesthetics seems to place less value in such signage these days…

This seems to be the ultimate Whitehorse vehicle…

A big mountie and famous sign, now both attached to the MacBride Museum of Yukon history…

Outside the museum… Tourist only parking…

And while I didn’t have time to go in, some of the museum is outside… A communication station for the Dawson-Ashcroft telegraph line from around 1898…

A reminder to always bring my camera… These food trucks were starting to close up when I came by, but were much busier at lunch time…

And everyone was enjoying lunch by the river on this boardwalk area that was now empty…

there is a shared pathway along the Yukon River that was seeing a steady flow of people on foot and bike…

The path also runs alongside an old railway line, one that was built in just two years between 1898 and 1900, connecting Whitehorse to the port of Skagway, around 177km away…

A tool station with all the tools intact… A good sign…

They even have bikes on their garbage bins… A Sana Croos no less…

Continuing along the river path towards the famous Klondike, one of the best-preserved sternwheelers, built in 1929 to carry people and goods between Whitehorse and Dawson City…
