So, you won't be recovered enough to start Friday's game if the Jays need you?
The automobile lobby wants those families in SUVs and Doug Ford is happy to push them in that direction.
It might take the crown of mismanagement away from the Phoenix pay system.

"E-bike owners are reminded to leave their bikes at home on Halloween."

When have the cops ever — EVER — advised drivers to leave their cars at home for the sake of kids' safety? Give me a single example.
Very frustrating to still see public campaigns like this from Delta PD telling kids to wear bright reflectors on their costumes and people to leave their bikes at home.

The risk to pedestrians on Halloween comes from drivers, not cyclists.
No pogies, no studded tires, and no way I wasn't going to go for my coffee ride that day.
As long as corporate money is involved with "electing" leaders there will never be a true democracy. Politicians are bought, owned, and installed, by Capitalists. Governments are administrative arms of unfettered capitalism.
A deep thought scene behind the scene.
I often carry a 12 kg backpack of photography gear on my road bike, not a cargo bike. 50 to 60 kilometres with it is not uncommon. It's very doable, even at 63 years old!

But I might consider a cargo bike when I get old.

I do however use public transit for distances of more than 100 kms roundtrip.

At least another 3 billion people should also be complaining, but they still don't realize they are in the grip of severe delusions, paranoia and emotional crises.

Hypershot Cygolite 350, hands down the best rear light I have ever used as a 45 year vehicular cyclist. I don't leave home without it. Not cheap, but worth every cent of the price. Put one on your bike and watch driver behaviour change when they give you 2 metres passing adjacent to you.

Hey people of BSky, I'm looking to write about this but need some useful examples. Can anyone think of any recent-ish examples in which a politician or candidate said something false or misleading in public that you think would fall under a rule like this?
There is currently a petition to the House of Commons asking the government to draft legislation that would make it so MP's could not lie and spread misinformation/disinformation.

Sounds like a good idea to me 👍

A TROPICAL storm ... in ALASKA ... probably nothing to be concernd about, right?
After a tropical storm tore through several communities in western Alaska last week, state officials say they’re now focused on cleanup and repairs.
I see your plane on a tracker ... touchdown.
Here's one from a few days ago if you can make use of it. Getty won't take it because it's slightly blurry from the drone bouncing around in the wind.

It's 12 MB as I'm uploading it here, Bluesky might butcher it though. Resolution is 5280 x 2970.

The end is very close now but I've known him so long I knew he wouldn't want to just sit on a drip in the hospital.
