Argh. Why won’t @winnipegfreepress.com profile progressive candidates like @nat4mynarski.bsky.social or @odingwall.bsky.social or Noah Redden? Is there an agenda here?

This was such an amazing tour of the bike infrastructure in Toronto. Janice Lukes likes to threaten us saying “you’re lucky we’re not Toronto.” I dunno Auntie Janice. I’m pretty jealous of TO today.

It’s often said that motorists “pay for” walking and cycling infrastructure. In reality, like everyone else, they contribute through general taxes, but history shows the story is more complex, even complete opposite. Cyclists ended up financing much of car infrastructure they couldn't even use. 1/
