I just want my son to not get hit by a car.

For the past year I’ve been on a mission to get every corner a curb cut (or fix inadequate curb cuts) in Crescent Heights, Calgary. Looks like it might be gaining traction with the community!

I'm attending this right now! The first thing we learned is that up to 80% of our health is determined by where and how we live. "Zip code is a better predictor of health and life expectancy than our genetic code".

Decided to take the bus from Halifax Stanfield airport for $4.75 rather the. $56(!). So far we haven’t stopped at 4 of 9 stops. This may actually end up being faster!

If you are zone 4, and you get up and get in line when they announce pre-boarding, you should be removed from the flight and immediately sent to re-education. I estimate this will cut down on the people who stand up in the aisle upon landing by 98%.

My family's transportation budget (I think the bus budget is WAY too low but hey). We are a one-car household, with no car payment, and it's still BY FAR the largest chunk of our budget. Cars are expensive, and any city or country that forces you to own a car is limiting your freedom.

Im copying @whoalansi.bsky.social and introducing myself too! My name is Cody and I’ve been called a “shit disturber” by multiple neighbours. I’m American (born in Southern California and was a paratrooper in the US Army) and Canadian (citizen since ‘23!). I care bikes, urbanism, and kvetching.
