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!

Today @naheednenshi.bsky.social walked by me at the library and I was holding my son. So I . . . Held up my son and said “say hi Ryan”. Yeah. Kinda weird.
“Flood unapologetically uses the directness seen in advertising messaging to try to disrupt the dominant car-focused narrative. Often using quotes, phrases and concepts over and over again — like advertising does to get through to people.” Our own @tomflood.bsky.social. #UrbanTruth

“Cars are the most absurd means of transport in a city,” [says Jean-Louis Missika, Paris’s deputy mayor for urbanisation]. “They are parked 95% of the time. It takes two tonnes to move someone who weighs 70kg. And the denser the city, the more absurd it is.” www.ft.com/content/882e...

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%.
For an “active loading only” area. The pickup area at San Diego international airport is super inactive. Lots of people just chillin.
I’ve got great new #yycbike the bike rack at the blood donation site in Calgary is finally not blocked by the massive planter! But, sorry Linus rider. You parked like an a-hole.
Just realized my family’s initials spell out one of the things I hate most in the world.
This is what it looks like when you over correct while riding on ice. (I have studs on the front tire but it wasn’t enough).
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.
