In 3 years, 6 pedestrians have been killed on the same short stretch of Lougheed in Maple Ridge. Why does it keep happening, and what can we do about it? We went to investigate. youtu.be/KSpQ5SNmc48?...

“They’re too young to ride" Nope. They’re ready to ride, it’s our cities that aren’t ready.

That whole soundtrack is so good. Mark Knopfler FTW!

I think the average ped fatality rate in Metro Van is around three DOZEN annually.

We should really ban dockless cars - people leave them all over the pavement.

A red car, a black cat and a blue car all parked entirely on the pavement. Most people could walk past (very close to the road but without leaving the pavement) but it is impassible with most wheelchairs, pushchairs, etc. Corner on a residential street.

OMG, we are bike twins. I have the same colour gen 1, even the same travel mug hat I carry on that spot on the back of the Transporteur rack! 🤣

True, I keep expecting it to pass over but it seems to be stuck over us. 😭

Some of the thunder was deafening up here.

Yeah, we went out into the deck to watch it just before the downpour started. Then decided standing under a metal roof & a tall tree was probably inadvisable... 🤣

LUCKY! Did you get any pics of the orcas?!?

Nearly everyone I know is born outside the US. I'm Canadian.

Wonder how old this cartoon is? I don't know anyone with a smallpox scar that's young enough to have a child that age. 😉

Did any of your family serve in the French Military?

spokesmama.bsky.social @spokesmama.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

Oops, just noticed you already found this info. Odd that your comments didn't show up earlier. I checked like five minutes ago. 😛 Anyway, maybe all the engagement will get it in front of more eyeballs?

spokesmama.bsky.social @spokesmama.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

I googled the text on it & I think the first word is short for "Manufacture". I searched what I thought the name was, & Klingenthal came up, which is apparently a village in northeastern France where they made weapons for the French Military 1730-1962. Wikipedia share.google/dt3vkzoSZk0T...

I rode an ebike on full assist, so that helped. I'd probably be gasping in the mask if I were on my regular "acoustic".

spokesmama.bsky.social @spokesmama.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

Haha, yeah, I think I quit waterproof makeup after flirting briefly with it in the 90s. Oil seemed like the only thing that would get it off, but ick.

spokesmama.bsky.social @spokesmama.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

I wore an N95 when I biked this morning. Air is far too bad for my asthmatic lungs. 😛 But yeah, I didn't see anyone else with masks at all.

He won't. He'd rather try to intimidate a mom on a bike with her child in it. He's REAL brave. 🙄

Wow, I looked at their website & they have quite a variety of bikes. I wish more bikeshares offered the electric two-seaters like this. I see so many people doubling on regular scooters & ebikes 😬. Having a purpose built bikeshare option like this would be a lot safer.

Oh no, I'm so sorry! I'd never met Mike IRL either, but I always enjoyed his posts. We were just reminiscing about the Tragically Hip's final tour the other day. 🥲

Maybe voice-to-text? You can just yell at your computer all day? 🤣

I saw them here in Vancouver & then watched the final concert on CBC. 🥲 Coincidentally, I'm listening to New Orleans is Sinking right now.

🤣🤣 I regularly get emails for at least two other Lisas in Ontario & Maine. Generally nothing crucial, but for a while, a lot of them were for a US student aid thing. I actually tried to figure out if there was a way to respond to that one that the email address was wrong, but no dice.

I used to carry my folding cane in my basket too. An ecargobike allowed me to keep living car-free (carrying two kids to school daily, Costco runs, etc) as my osteoarthritis progressed. I rode it up to two days before my hip replacement surgery & it helped me start riding again 5 weeks after.

Same here in BC. But do the products have the same suppliers in Canada as the US?

I was seeing diffuse flashes from both southeast & southwest. I was enjoying the thunder, not thinking about the fire risk... 😬

LOOK at those clouds! Classic. Is it warm up there today?
