Almost nobody realizes they're responding to an AI.

Our FB community group was already bad, with an absentee admin, spam, etc - but this is the most dystopian shit I've ever seen.

@mark-carney.bsky.social's "nation building" resource extraction projects basically make him the embodiment of @tbtoro.bsky.social's classic cartoon...

What do you mean... they even gave cyclists a little merge lane when they dump them out onto the street....

AM I NOT MERCIFUL?!?

So, I almost got killed on my ride last night...

I was heading north on Boundary Road, after the bike lane just ends, and dumps you out into the right lane of the street. Luckily, that lane is mostly empty, as it's a turning lane back at Lougheed. It was after 8pm, so traffic was light...

Is that a train threat?

Is this meme a threat?

Even better? Their "Contact Us" page doesn't even let you contact them.

This bit from south Richmond makes me sad, with the red blip back up to Westminster Hwy and back. There's actually a railway line through there, and a road (see circled in second image), and I was kinda hoping they'd be able to negotiate something...

Hey Metro Van cyclists, you seen this greenway network map, including future plans?

Is that what I marked in blue here? I didn't realize there was another way!?

There's a "Maquabeak Park Connector" path under the bridge, but the First Nations signage makes entry feel questionable. I'd love to see that clarified as well.

so are phone cases!

Today's project: a heavy-duty shopping trolley/cart using three milk crates zip tied to a lightweight/foldable hand truck...

Riding my e-bike to Costco was definitely the enjoyable choice!

Fifth (last but not least): Riding west on Powell (before the multi-use bike path starts), cars were passing me, but some crazy car decides the car in front of him wasn't speeding enough, so pulled *right* to pass, and almost knocked me to the curb while doing so (it pulled BARELY in front of me).

Fourth: north on Boundary (after bike lane just ends and dumps you into the road), I needed turn left (blue arrow), hand signaled, a nice car (middle lane) slowed, I merged left in front of it, but *2nd* car behind it didn't know why it slowed, pulled out left ACCELERATING RIGHT AT ME (red)!

Third: North on Sea to River bikeway where the multi-use-path down Gilmore crosses Canada Way (blue arrow), with oncoming cars turning right (red arrow), and when the light turns green, the first car has time to go while I start crossing, but then the subsequent car following it almost hits me...

Second: Sea to River bikeway, north on Patterson, I was riding down the hill at over 40 kph (!) (blue arrow), and the car behind me decided that STILL wasn't fast enough (on a bike route), so made a close-pass next to me (red arrow), not even pulling into the other lane (which was TOTALLY CLEAR!)...
October 15, 2025 at 7:58 AM
First: Where Grange St narrows down to one lane for literally TEN METERS before I can make a right turn onto Sea to River bike route down Patterson. As I was merging left (blue arrow), OF COURSE the car behind me didn't want to drive slowly behind me for TEN METERS, so PUSHED THROUGH (red arrow)...

From Mudkip Bay Park to Alex Fraser via Watershed Park and the Delta Nature Reserve are some of the best riding around!
