New ghost bike just outside the railpath at Dupont. Is it meant to represent on or below the railpath, does anyone know?
I barely run these days but that’s not stopping me from making Shalane’s marathon lasagna to carb load for the Toronto marathon which I will most definitely not be running. 😅
This is wild. Nobody - from people running for mayor to elites who carry on about crime - will talk about Toronto police corruption. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I live near Bloor and my experience improved for cycling, driving and walking when the bike lanes were installed. The people who drove faster before the lanes went in are the antisocial drivers who weave through traffic and cut others off.
I harp on this all the time, but there is so much peer reviewed solid evidence that we benefit from small talk with strangers, knowing our neighbours, chatting with our baristas, etc. And I believe that our shift away from that stuff is at the root of all our antisocial behaviour right now.
How to talk to a stranger and make friends
Talking to strangers is good for us, and a growing number of places have started campaigns, events and programs to kickstart those conversations

treat your body like a data center. consume as much water, art and literature as possible. upset local municipalities with your existence.
Yeah seriously. Imagine if the world had listened to those Twitter streamers calling for clean air and better quality respiratory protection for healthcare workers. 😭

"Ripping out these protected bike lanes against the will of Toronto city council is a colossal waste of $48 million. The province’s own experts know it will not ease traffic congestion, it will put people’s lives at risk…” One of the stupidest things I’ve ever seen any politician do to any city.

In the past month, I've started waking once a week at 1am--involuntarily--& being so wired that I can't get back to sleep all night. Couldn't figure out why. Wasn't doing anything different. Just realized: I'm scared by what I'm seeing in my research. Nihilistic billionaires toying with our lives.

Fall is the best season and I will not be debating this. I'm in a sweater biking to work. I will arrive at the perfect temperature, not sweaty and not cold. It's sunny out, but I don't need sunscreen. The best.

Riding a bike share or walking through the woods in High Park to get to my near-weekly hospital appointments feels like a cheat code for maintaining my mental health this year. Everyone deserves to live in a place where you don’t have to be car dependent.

I am once again at Biidaasige. $1.5 billion in investment that’s going to unlock something like $10 billion in development. An engineering project that allowed landscape architects to lead. We are very fortunate.
