In case the Premier of a major province requires a refresher on why going “10 over” is actually a big deal.

Well, if you hit someone, your increased speed would result in a considerably lower probability that someone would survive the impact. This should matter to you.

ULINE sells bike racks. Most are not good. I don’t recommend the wave rack you showed. They don’t work well for e-bikes and can be generally difficult to properly lock the frame. Get a few of these and you’re good. Can lock two bikes to one loop. Accommodates all bikes incl. cargo.

Just picked up a new Tern GSD and Carla Cargo trailer funded by the @westernu.bsky.social Sustainable Impact Fund. We might just be the first University in Canada to have a shared cargo bike system to be used for fieldwork, transporting large items, events, etc.

In my 2.5 month absence from all social media I determined that the thing I missed the most, and ultimately came back for, is pictures of bikes doing regular things.

It seems the real winner of the US election was Elon Musk… which makes sense since he bought and paid for it.
