Live with it. Power in my region rarely goes out, and when it does its for a very short duration. Canned cold beans for supper.

You know, even the candidates I won't vote for in the Comox municipal election this year are pretty decent people. They're engaged and they're willing which makes them more than decent - it makes them admirable.

I get to go clean my daughter's cat-litter box on my ebike. 15km round trip. It'd be a shitty deal, but for the ride.

Whenever I see a bike bus video it appears that there are riders all over the road. Is this the norm? Is the street actually closed to all other traffic whilst the "bus" is passing?

Every time I hear of a Starbucks closing I think of the blessing that is to locally roasted, locally owned coffee shops.

Auto-dim should be a crime.

No one has said that. No one is pursuing that. PP is a moron.

For 11 years my dog has awoken me at 06:30 to feed and walk her. She's gone now but I wake up every morning at 06:30 and miss her. Good girl.

Anyone check in with Cuba lately? It's oddly quiet for a country that's being systematically starved by it's next door neighbour.

Even "the royals" get fucked over by cars. Welcome to the war on cars.

I get that some folks need a lorry. Some businesses can't work efficiently without one. I can't comprehend the logic of those who purchase a truck just to tow an RV for a couple of weeks (maybe) a year and are stuck driving it as a "get around town" vehicle the rest of the time.

And forever. Not everyone can ride, but those who can will have a better life for it, and those who can't will have a better drive too.

What kind of college requires a car? Asking as a former walking/cycling/bus riding student.

Rush hour in our community (Comox Valley) is always centred around school timings. The best climate in Canada but they still drive their kids. Wankers.

2 years just to get a plea. The wheels of justice turn slowly.

Yup. Not everyone can. But your drive would probably be nicer if those who could, would.

Isn't spending taxpayer money on roads and bridges socialism?

Blessed to have a plethora of good local foods in the Comox Valley. The Farmers market rocks.

I have something similar in my neighbourhood. But it's 500 year old Douglas Fir trees you bash into. It's designed to fail.

Today would be an excellent day for Canada to announce it is not completing its purchase of F35's in favour of Grippens, unless of course the PM wants to announce it at the EU meeting next week for added effect.

If you're running for office this October in Comox and don't support 30kph residential streets you've already lost my vote. #comox #comoxvalley

You are but one bike ride, outside of town, away from restoration and revival. There is no other way at this point.

Turns out the American dream was actually just a wet dream for most people.

Walkable communities are by default, liveable communities. If you have to drive to survive, you're barely alive. Just sayin.

When you knowingly elect a horrible person to the presidency, you get the US in 2026. Yet some folks are still surprised.

What a disturbing lineup.

Unless you ride a bike, then it's just fair.

Your fire vehicles need a diet.

Sure beats plastic flex-posts. Those look like they could tame a F-150.

And not one of those tonne-kilometres uses a train that looks like this. Electrification is a long way off.

Is this ok? I think it's funny as hell, but is it ok?

The Courtenay Service BC has one bollard to lock your bike up. Right beside a narrow driveway. Impressively shitty.

Gluten Rocks 🇨🇦 @glutenrocks.bsky.social · 31/08/2026
They used to be called "service stations". Can't justify that anymore.

In Canada we argue at the city-level as to what constitutes a bicycle. God I wish Canada would/could join the EU.

Gluten Rocks 🇨🇦 @glutenrocks.bsky.social · 31/08/2026
It seems Courtenay's "bridge to nowhere" has had 5000 bikes cross it in its first two months. Wait until it goes somewhere!

The general lack of religious asshats spouting their hatred.

But with an e-bike, you'll go a lot farther, a lot more often. It expands your riding radius by a factor of at least 3.

Gluten Rocks 🇨🇦 @glutenrocks.bsky.social · 30/08/2026
Nope. Haven't hear of one e-bike being ridden into the intake of a commercial jet, yet.

If you're coming to the Comox Valley farmers market or the Comox Valley Exhibition- ride your bike. We've got the best free parking around!
