ICONIC: Yosemite National Park workers just hung an upside-down American flag—THOUSANDS of feet up on El Capitan. That’s not decoration. That’s a distress signal. They’re telling us the country is in danger. Are you paying attention? www.sfchronicle.com/outdoors/art...

If you are more outraged at Canadians booing your anthem than the fact that your mob boss is harassing and threatening a takeover of a sovereign country, whether by economic hardships or by force, then please go fuck yourself. This is for you all in the back👇

The City of Toronto should actually clear the snow. There are cities that even invest in removing the snow. But plows simply shoving it all back up onto the sidewalks isn’t good enough.

How it started How it’s going 5 years and 18,000 km later, and my eBullitt is still my favourite way to get around town. Looking forward to the next 5 years…

No form of urban transport is as resilient, sustainable, or convenient as the bicycle.

I love how people in Paris just casually bike through the Cour Carrée at the #Louvre.

No, @googlemaps.bsky.social the best route to get from St Clair and Mt Pleasant to Front and Church is NOT to go straight down Mt Pleasant and then deke through Rosedale to Sherbourne. It would be to never get on Mt Pleasant in the first place

The ridiculous ideas of Pierre Poilievre from the #CBC "wants to restore the military" but voted against funding it. Wants to cut spending, but won't say how, or where. If anyone believes this guy can run our country -I've got some swamp land to sell you. Stop voting conservative or else suffer

You didn’t hear about Antarctica until 1820 but it was probably there the whole time.

If your city couldn’t avoid making a huge city-damaging mistake, then do the next best thing – remove the mistake, and repair your city. Like #Utrecht Netherlands did. (via @bicycledutch.bsky.social)

3 photos: when Utrecht had a downtown river; when it was paved over for a wide highway; and when it was returned to a daylighted river with public spaces on the edges.

IMPORTANT: “Do bike lanes really cause more traffic congestion? Here's what the research says. Studies from around the world show bike lanes ease congestion, reduce emissions and are a boon to businesses.” And removing them would cost a LOT & make traffic worse. #Toronto www.cbc.ca/news/science...

Back from a week in Paris, and was in awe of the cycling culture there. Stay tuned for more pictures of The Biking Vet’s appreciation of the Cyclists of Paris.

The Biking Vet’s ride got a glow up recently! A locking box to make medications, food, medical gear and, of course, cameras safer and more secure.

The “E-Bike Effect:” Those who bought e-bikes increased their average daily bicycle use from 2.1km (1.3 miles) to 9.2km (5.7 miles), a 340% increase. The e-bike share of all their transportation increased dramatically too; from 17% to 49%. Via Treehugger www.treehugger.com/e-bikers-rid...

E-Bikers Ride Much Farther and More Frequently Than Regular Bikers

They are not 'cheating,' but are serious transportation.

Heading down to Billy Bishop Airport this afternoon. Currently 24C and sunny. I’d ride anyway, but especially when riding will be faster and more fun!

Gee, the scientists who created the mRNA vaccine for Covid are wearing masks, I wonder what they know that most of the maskless world doesn’t seem to want to get thru their thick skulls holding their soon-to-be damaged brain???

Last weekend I had to attend the Northern Ontario Vet Assn conference north of Elliot Lake. A friend of mine has made it a habit of riding from his house on Manitoulin Island to the conference every year. This year he said it might be his last. So I had to join him.

“I’m so sorry for pulling into the bike lane in front of you and cutting you off. To prove how sorry I am, I’ll apologize profusely and repeatedly. Will I move out of the bike lane? No, I won’t. I’ll just keep apologizing to convince you of my sincerity.” (I might be paraphrasing a bit)

An elderly male apologizes repeatedly and profusely for blocking the bike lane, but will not drive away, despite being asked to multiple times.
