‼️My bike was stolen last night from 41st and Main in Vancouver ‼️ It's a tan electric Muli, very unique. No battery on it when stolen. Please keep an eye out in your alley, bushes, or Fb Marketplace etc. I rely on this bike and really hope to be reunited! project529.com/garage/bikes...

I'm looking for someone in Vancouver to do a very simple freelance radio/podcast assignment for The Sprawl this week. It involves going to a certain site and recording ambient sound with a Zoom (or something similar). Paid gig obvs. Any ideas? @jmcelroy.bsky.social

For my fellow BCers, it is a *legal requirement* that you yield to a cyclist in a bike lane when turning right. Even if you have your turn signal on. And also just the right thing to do.

Remind me again how Stanley Park doesn’t need a bike lane? (And also where’s your front plate?)

If, like me, you were worried about the consequences of this, only the car is damaged in the end thankfully

This barrier is clearly not enough - even just from a financial perspective the amount of money spent repairing it can’t compare well to the cost of a stronger one

Great thread. This story also highlights the problem with almost all of Vancouver's "bikeways" - they're narrow canyons between parked cars. This is 10th Ave, the main east-west route in the city, which Ken Sim called a "perfect bike lane" that negated the need for protected lanes on Broadway. (1/2)
10th Ave bikeway. A car takes up the entire street, with parked cars on either side.

A person is injured, the VPD have failed them, "expert lawyers" are misleading the public, and changes to the MVA are pointless unless actually upheld. THREAD 🧵
