100%! Our normal minds immediately go to helping out and then you are inundated with bizarre responses, personal attacks and before you know it the lost cat is Justin Trudeau's fault.

Lock the doors! 😅 As soon as we read "FB comments" we knew where this was going. There's such a low bar for rational thought and civilized discourse on there.

It's so funny when drivers view traffic calming measures as a fundamental attack on their right to use a car. You can still drive! You're just being forced to drive more slowly and safely.

Myself and two other Maritimers rode these bike lanes repeatedly while attending the World Road Ch'ships two weeks ago and were blown away by how busy they were and how easy it made getting around from NDG. We were so jealous!!!

Does replacing parking with bike-lanes hurt restaurant business? Of course not, as this new peer-reviewed STUDY of 15 years of Montreal data showed. ACTUALLY, downtown experienced significant restaurant growth after bike lanes were installed. @momentummag.bsky.social momentummag.com/do-bike-lane...

Regular washing and lubing def helps stave off effects of salt/sand but winter is much harder on any bike however a full drivetrain replacement in the Spring is cheaper than a single car payment Currently I could buy a nice E-bike for what diesel is costing me for my work vehicle every 2 months!

I never punch down, (especially on someone who may be dying) but wedging yourself into the bike rack to smoke (outside a hospital) is a choice. Buddy refused to move and my head was beside his cigarette as I leaned over to undue my lock. 🤢

So true. You can't see it but she also had the gall to give me an exasperated wave to do me a favor and 'let' me through.

Absolutely, I grew up in the bush in Huronia and was forever uber-wary of lake ice after that

Great signing. Was really impressed by how aggressively this team raced in '26, seemed to be in so many moves.

The scene with the guy trapped under the ice on the lake has stuck with me since I saw it- so scary!!

That was excellent! Couple points: 1. Fenders. Our winters are more wet than snowy. FULL fenders are a godsend for winter riding. 2. Beware early morning/early evening black ice. Much of our winter is in the -3 to +3 range and that surface that was just wet in the sun now has a frozen film at 5pm

Dear Masters racers, if you're not actively teaching, mentoring and encouraging the newer riders and the younger riders in your scene WTH are you doing?? Lead by example and teach them how it's done.

Are we seriously considering that these types might change their behavior because of signage or social media forewarnings??

TBH the Florida experience just doesnt seem terribly fun: "He said he felt like he was swimming in "a sea of stupidity" with falsehoods about his country (Canada) commonplace. "Trump would say something stupid, Governor Trudeau, 51st state and all that, and they'd stand there and laugh"

Over time, the term has become a badge of honour for residents and was even applied to Canada's most famous boat, The Bluenose. Today, the term Bluenoser is embraced in Nova Scotia. It is also now in the Oxford English Dictionary. 📸 LAC 🧵 5/6

I sold a car with two child carseats still in it once because they were impossible to remove. I did remove the children first.

"Intoxication is not consent or license for gang rape" It's so insane that this needs to be stated.
