This is pretty cool. I've been hoping full-suspension cargo bikes would become a thing...hopefully more companies will come up with their own versions of this.

Today I checked out the progress on a new section of multi-use trail that's eventually going to connect two other multi-use trails. It will run through/alongside two parks. It's looking pretty good, though I wish we could get raised crossings.

Concrete multi-use path surrounded by trees on both sides with a street on the left side of a row of trees.

Excess pavement being torn up in preparation for a concrete path to be laid down. A yellow excavator is sitting idle.

A section of the trail that has had the excess asphalt torn up, a curb laid, and gravel put down where the path is going.

A completed section of the new trail that goes across the bridge and connects to a kids bike park that opened up a few months ago. The trail to the right continues along towards another trail where it will eventually connect.

THREAD. Did you know that Minneapolis police deployed 101 personnel to a 7-person vigil held one morning at Renee Good's memorial? The cops generated $1.92 million in overtime cash for themselves.

Reasons to ride a bike: - Bikes are fast and get you places on time - Gives you a nice butt - Most energy efficient way to travel - Get to go whee the whole time - Virtually immune to traffic - The going whee thing, but again

Went for a nice little hike at the Feversham Gorge trail today in Feversham, Ontario.

Always cool when bridges can no longer support cars and become pedestrian/cyclist bridges.

An old bridge in Clarksburg, Ontario that now only allows pedestrians and cyclists to cross due to weight restrictions. There are concrete barriers narrowing the entrance so cars don't cross it.

I know it's not perfect, but I'm quite impressed by the amount of bike infrastructure in the Ottawa/Gatineau area.

Ottawa/Gatineau might have the worst quality roads I've ever driven on including one that feels like a roller coaster. But otherwise I actually kinda enjoy it.

A neighborhood's input on new residential developments is always flawed because it doesn't include input from people who *want* to live there but can't afford to -- or who can't find any available homes. This is particularly true in places with walkable street grids + transit.

It's true not everyone can walk, or ride a bike, or use public transit. But for most of us, that's not because of anything to do with the act of walking, biking, or using transit itself. 🧵

Car culture never has to take infrastructure maintenance into their own hands, they have the benefits of socialist policies for that. However, it's nice when someone behind the wheel stops to recognize your efforts.
