If you find yourself on the opposite side of an issue from Ms Rachel, you need to seriously re-think your entire decision making process and possibly your entire code of ethics.

Facebook wins the award for "worst algorithm" by FAR.
If you flag something as "I don't want to see this" and then block the person posting it, Facebook considers that to be engagement and shows you much much more of it.
If not for Messenger, Facebook would have been abandoned long ago.

-21 C this morning, and we're playing all of the "winter ebike" hits, including "brittle plastic snaps off in your hand," "LCD display starting to freeze," "dude where's my range," and "I can't feel my face."

I remember signing up for Bluesky and being excited that there is an ebike / micromobility feed.
I'm removing that feed today. It's very demoralizing to see unceasing, relentless attacks on the mode of transportation that completely changed my life for the better, day after day after day.

Our cycling infrastructure is so terrible that I'm jealous of this half-assed sort-of-protected-ish bike lane.
In our city, it would be a single line with 6" of pavement on the shoulder side.

Just paint and plastic are not protection on a unavoidable highway which cuts diagonally through our neighborhood and where speeding drivers have killed several pedestrians. #sandiego #safestreets #bikesky

New trailer configuration for traveling with a solar panel. Was gathering up about 30W, but the heater and the ebike charger draw 270W.
This would work way better in the summer when the sun is high in the sky.

EVERY SINGLE ONE of those deaths could have been prevented if someone - ANYONE - was enforcing Ontario's ebike rules. Every single problem people have with ebikes could be ended by LAW ENFORCEMENT.
Making more rules that also will not be enforced changes NOTHING.

These are dirt bikes. They're not road legal (without a class M, insurance, signal lights, et al). If you live in a big city, there is zero reason to buy your child a dirt bike.

Parents, here’s what to know if your kid wants a Sur Ron or high power e-bike
If you’re a parent of a teenager, there’s a decent chance you’ve heard the phrase “Can I get a Sur Ron?” sometime in the last year. Before you panic‑Google it or head to Amazon to see what one of these bikes costs, there are some important things you should know about this class of electric two-wheelers that have become all the rage with teenagers these days.

For Canadians like me who bought an ebike and then the company that sells them went bankrupt, this company builds custom packs as well!
For Canadian owners of Rad bikes needing a safe replacement battery check out

They build battery packs using top quality cells right here in Canada. They can build custom packs to fit any configuration.

The moment you get into a car, Toronto goes from being a city of magic to a city of insane stress. I can't even imagine a Toronto car commute being a part of my everyday life.

Imagine a world where there are battery standards for micromobility - maybe like two sizes - and you can simply exchange an empty one with a full one like a propane tank exchange.
Ebikes, scooters, mopeds - any electric vehicle could use them. Range anxiety would vanish.

Ebike-deployable campsite with heated seating mat, campfire, warming trailer, electric kettle (and of course marshmallows).
Howling 45 kph winds and sub-zero temperatures. VERY comfortable. Ty was warm.
Deployed in 5 minutes, and back to road-ready in 5 minutes.

Licensing doesn't make car drivers any safer. Licensing for ebikes and scooters would do nothing except throw up a monetary barrier that neuters them as viable transportation for low income people. The poor get screwed over...again.

Testing a new bush/SAR ebike configuration.
Looks like heated seats, heated trailer and powerful searchlights will all work.
We'll be refining this proof of concept further.

Increasing highway capacity won't help Toronto's gridlock at all, because the streets that feed in and out of the highway will have the exact same capacity as before. A tunnel would be just chucking billions of dollars into a black hole.

Certainly don't buy an e-moto for any unlicensed road use, but "don't buy an e-moto for teens?" C'mon.
When I was growing up kids (myself included) had dirt bikes at like 14. Know your kid, know their abilities. Dirt bikes (electric or otherwise) on dirt bike trails is fine.
