As a driver, I would like more automated speed enforcement so I can drive the speed limit and not have some asshole in a Ram pickup tailgating to get me to speed up or get out of their way

Mr. @mark-carney.bsky.social, the people of Canada yearn for rapidly implemented nation-building high speed rail, will you hear us?

I updated the blog post with a picture I took yesterday. Notice how bike rack design matters cyclewr.ca/2025/07/08/g...

A sun-drenched parking lot at either dawn or dusk, with a long metal bike rack in the foreground. The section of the rack featuring an inverted-U design is crowded with numerous bicycles, while the simpler wave-style section to the right has only three bikes. Parked cars and a modern building are visible in the background against a clear sky.

Planning a trip to Montreal this month... It's so sad that choosing a train is almost 4 times more expensive (for 2 people), compared to driving (including parking) 😭

Grand River Rocks Kitchener upgraded their bike parking to a new 30-space inverted-U rack, making it easier and safer for people to cycle to their facility. This is a great example of how businesses can support cyclists and build a stronger community. cyclewr.ca/2025/07/08/g...

We have a few of those along the Iron Horse Trail in Kitchener. When I asked the city they told me that the highway act doesn't have the signage necessary to make a crossing for cyclists :(
I'd still recommend writing to your city councilor and CC your MPP.

Oh wow, that's impressive. It's usually empty. I'm glad I decided to take the bus yesterday 😅

I have one for SQL queries on traces. But it's still useful to feed it as examples into Gemini :)

"Public transit won’t solve every problem overnight, but it’s a powerful tool for building a region that works better for everyone. For me, it’s made life simpler, more affordable, and more grounded. And for the Waterloo Region, it’s part of a cleaner, smarter, and more connected future." #WatReg

On my recent trip to Scandinavia I tried to use everything but a car. I got to be on intercity trains, metros, buses, trams, ferries, a bike, an e-bike and a kayak. I also walked many tens of kilometers. I had to take one cab to the airport, because transit didn't run at 4am 🥲 But it was electric.

The amount of bike lanes (and cyclists) I'm finding in Malmo and Stockholm is astonishing.
Don't tell me these aren't winter cities.
