When people hear the word “car”, what they think is “privacy” and “not having to interact with strangers”. But the definition of living in a city is “interacting with strangers”. 🤔 Another great @thewaroncars.bsky.social podcast interview with @humantransit.bsky.social 👇

Looks like Ward 12 Councillor has joined Ward 2 in drawing attention to the excessively powered e powered devices out there. Who could be next? #yycbike
I think Alberta should follow Republican state South Carolina in adopting the law that allows people on bikes to observe stop signs like a yield sign. Why isn’t that question on Dreeshen’s online survey?🤷♂️ #yycBike #yegBike
'Stop as Yield’ bicycle bill turns into a South Carolina law. What does this mean for cyclists?
South Carolina has passed the “Stop as Yield” bicycle bill into a law. This law changes how bicyclists approach intersections.

It’s important to understand that when 1.2 million Americans are dying from a disease, any government action is excessive and tyrannical, but if a dozen trans women want to play soccer no government action can go far enough
Tried CMBA’s new trails in the Jumpingpound area for the first time. Trampled Under Foot and Ten Years Gone were both amazing and lived up to their description on Trail Forks as being good for all abilities! Plus they have some cool creative chainsaw artistry to discover. 😀 #yycBike
Hmm. In some contexts maybe. But personally I go to my Bluesky feed and see posts from people like @tinybeaches.bsky.social who talk about biking to school.

How did Denmark get from basically 0 to 80% new sale of EVs in 5 years? Here’s my slides from a recent presentation on what I think has been instrumental in achieving this.

An Update on E-Mobility

Good to see e-motos catching deserved heat but this piece also illustrates something equally important: many cops do not know their own rules. Cop mistakenly refers to "illegal 500w battery" which is not illegal. Battery size does not determine speed, motor power does www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fskb...

Lots of electric motocross on Calgary’s pathways this long weekend. I get kids like them, but riding them on public paths is illegal and dangerous. #yycbike #calgary #emotocross
Leroy and Leroy pointing out that front visibility of vehicles in Calgary is so bad that a decorative rock at the Tuscany Club needs a massive warning sign. 🤦♂️ How have we allowed forward visibility to become so bad!
When I post these still shots of people riding on cycle tracks in Calgary, I usually change the street stencil to show the number 13 and place an image of Johnny Gaudreau who died with his brother while riding their bicycles on an unprotected road. #yycBike #Calgary

Catching 74 distracted drivers in six hours is good, but what would be better is redesigning the street so drivers are forced to pay attention.
A N.J. cop disguised himself as a shrub — and helped catch 74 distracted drivers in one day
The Dunellen department said the "shrub" was busy during the six-hour enforcement operation.

Hey! Don’t get me wrong, this is great, but where were the calls for policy reform when a child in stroller was run down and killed in a crosswalk by a driver of a jacked up SUV with a partially blocked windshield? Still nothing but crickets! #Calgary #Canada #Alberta #SafeStreets
