zafarali.me @zafarali.me · 30/09/2026A few weeks ago I was flying over this gorgeous lake. For some reason, it felt familiar... Like I knew every twist+turn of shoreline... And of course I did!

zafarali.me @zafarali.me · 13/09/2026What's the plan to encourage more sustainable ways to get around? three of our provinces want to get rid of bike lanes and a sustainable way to get around the city.

zafarali.me @zafarali.me · 25/08/2026Fair but still the sentence reads weird. Clearly the driver (who ran a red light) hit the person. The headline makes it sounds like it was a vehicle malfunction even though the reporting was good. 010
zafarali.me @zafarali.me · 24/08/2026The article is well written but the phrase "driver whose vehicle killed her husband"... Seriously? If we want to get real about holding bad drivers accountable you gotta do better when you report about them and call it out: The driver killed her husband. 110

zafarali.me @zafarali.me · 15/08/2026What you're referring to is "Vehicular Cycling". Unfortunately, this is only possible for cyclists who are confident cycling in fast traffic and excludes, kids, elders and heck probably you and me if we don't wanna risk our lives getting to work. 120
