Merry crisis

If this parking garage really ends up costing $400 million, that’s more than the cost to build the C.N. tower, adjusted for inflation. Imagine the real, beneficial city-building opportunities that money could go towards. Or helping with one of many ongoing crises… www.thetrillium.ca/news/municip...

I’m a really big fan of these roundabouts that are scattered around Vancouver. They were added into wider intersections and are very effective at slowing down cut-through traffic, while adding whimsy, tree canopy, and a little neighbourhood charm.

Shocking realization that this is the least windy, most comfortable part of my ride to the grocery store.

That fresh bike lane feeling

Remember, Uber is an American company! Before requesting an uber, consider other options like bikeshare, public transport, or if you must, a local taxi.

Kingsville, ON greenhouse strawberries seem to be selling well at $6.99 (that’s loblaws’s normal gouging), meanwhile few people seem to be buying the American field strawberries from California at half price ($2.99).

Just cancelled a bunch of American subscriptions: - Netflix - Disney Plus - AppleTV - Dropbox & other phone app subscriptions Good opportunity to review recurring subscriptions and see what you can live without! Can save some money too.

Cycling to the grocery store, one week after back-to-back major snow storms.

Best efforts have been done here but I’m too exhausted to pile the snow any higher

That’s enough winter for one year, thanks!

Running out of snow storage area here…

I did what I could for this morning at the Dundurn @ Aberdeen Bikeshare Stn. One working bike excavated & 3 open slots. Will come back later in the day if needed :)

America is worth defending. Canada is worth defending. Ukraine is worth defending. Taiwan is worth defending. Democracy is worth defending.

Justin Timberlake joined the #BikeBus movement in Portland! We need more role models promoting active mobility! What is a bike bus? It is a group of people who cycle together, mostly to school, with designated stops along the way. Video via @coachbalto.bsky.social 🎶 I can't stop the feeling! 🎶

"We already studied this in the 70's and things were fine"

An expensive, stupid and deadly self-inflicted wound to his own Province by weakening its largest city and economic engine, all due to pettiness and to distract and rage-farm for political gain. Imagine weakening your Province’s success and endangering its people knowingly just to help yourself.

One way of looking at the bike lane “debate” and the anti factual policy by the ON gov. How many times have I almost been killed by a driver on Ontario streets walking or cycling? Many How many times have I almost been killed by a cyclist or pedestrian as a driver? Zero

Hi! Since the bird site is really on its way out I’m fully moving in here! I’ve decided to separate my gardening & urbanism interests into two separate accounts so folks can choose which of my shitposts to tolerate based on theme! You’re welcome!
