Aaron @bigtimeyyc.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Yikes! I have often wondered what I would do riding around that area of the zoo in the early morning if by some chance I came face to face on the pathway with one of their resident bears. New fear unlocked? #yycbike 5122

Aaron @bigtimeyyc.bsky.social · 23/07/2026I see Folk Fest has put up PurpleAir monitoring stations on the island for the festival. A good step in educating people on the value of up to date air quality readings. Not the "I think it looks smoky out" strategy. 1103
