This might be really helpful for many folks out there.

Remember, when it comes to riding bikes for transportation in the winter, “there’s no bad weather, just bad clothes.”

(And bad infrastructure and maintenance decisions from city hall)

Fun fact: Halifax is not allowed to set a speed limit below 50 km/h without permission from the province.

And the province only considers reductions to 40, not to 30, in most cases.

And the criteria includes a study of whether drivers are already driving close to 40 km/h!

Today is the Trans Day of Remembrance and taking a moment to honour all those who aren't with us, and particularly those who should have been elders. But I also want to celebrate all of the wonderful trans thinkers, advocates, friends and family who are here today. Thank you for being who you are.

I wonder how accurate this is.

If Edmonton average driving time is 20min per 10km, that's only 30km/h.

I average about 21km/h on my bike.

And my average speed by bike doesn't change based on rush hour traffic.

Why are people driving again?

Am reminded that the halifax explosion led to architects mass-building a neighbourhood out of cinderblocks. And everyone thinks its gorgeous despite being quite dense.

It turns out you can make a neighbourhood quite nice and functional by hiring architects instead of drafters

Sounds like there’s a solution to our problems here people…

I wish Halifax admin could understand how dangerous leaves in the bike lanes are. I narrowly avoided a bad crash on Bell road. The lanes are barely as wide as my handlebars, and over half full of wet leaves.

Weekly street cleaning had the roads clear though

Once you start thinking of AI as a war on humanity, on human thought, on human inquiry, on human labor, on nuance and critical thinking, it slots in pretty seamlessly with the right wing ideological project, oligarchical political projects, big tech's political projects, etc

I did some functional #3dprinting today. A bracket on my son's Nerf gun broke. After an hour and a half of modeling and printing, it seems to fit just right

About 110 people on their bikes had a great time at I Light HFX 2025, jointly organized with Dal/Kings Bike Centre. Big thanks to our sponsors, Wagners Law, Halifax Cycles, Giant Halifax and Long Alley Bicycles. Also thanks to the ride marshals, Halifax Bike Party, and all the organizers.

Getting ready for the I Light Hfx ride @cyclehalifax.ca

The I Light HFX ride ride tonight is going ahead! @cyclehalifax.ca #bikeHFX

Don’t miss I Light HFX. The weather is looking warm (by recent standards) but a little damp. But we won’t let that dampen our spirits, we’re Haligonians!

6pm tomorrow (Saturday, Nov 8) at the Dal Quad by the Dal/Kings Bike Centre.

Nov. 4 is the first year anniversary of this Halifax regional council meeting.

I have been trying since December to get an interview with Mayor Andy Fillmore. Three tries with no luck. But I wrote about reporting on Fillmore and some of his motions:

I've been told that this hobby may have been a mistake for my wallet #warhammer

The lesson here is have good principles and stand on them. Stand for something that isn't power!

posted this four months ago but tonight as buckaroos like mamdani sweep elections i will post again. hope this is sign to all establishment goofs that trotting to the center is not the move. protect the buckaroos who are in perilous circumstances and do not give an inch

A little late getting this up, but I had a great Halloween this year. I put together a costume for the first time since childhood. @criticalmasshfx.bsky.social was an amazing time, and I can't wait for the next one.
