Bike rentals in the lower mainland should be all done through Translink. All it should take is a compass card to hop on a bike. A bike should been seen as an integrated part of the transit system. Currently we have different companies apps and requirements in each municipality.

Met quite a lot of people from the US whilst hiking in Canada recently. I admit the conversation has quickly ended when I find out they are from the US. I need to try better, but it’s hard to put aside the harm that country is doing to Canada, the one you are visiting.

It's the law now that the car driver must maintain a 1m distance between a bike and a car. "We’re not pointing fingers at anyone in particular" Well I can point a finger at the car driver who didn't maintain the 1m distance from the bike as per the MVA.
