The #bikelash is real.
When provincial MLAs even *hint* they'll legislate against bike lanes, municipal administration staff backpedal on planning, design, & budgeting, regardless of elected council's directions. "What's the point" they ask, "if the province is just going to pull it out?" #yegbike

My least popular (and most correct) view is that cars should be automatically limited to the local speed limit. Put the pedal to the floor and you still can't go over 25mph in a residential area.

There is no possible justification for limiting e-bikes to 15mph but not cars.

People often ask: what can ordinary people do to stop populists like Trump and Smith from running roughshod over democratic norms?
Populists rely on the widespread perception that their actions are supported by "the majority" and "common people."
Anything that punctures that myth helps. +

The bike lanes are treacherous here today so for the first time ever I made the kids walk and take transit to school. There was much whining about having to leave the house 15 minutes earlier than usual and lots of “I would have been FINE to bike 🙄” from the teen.
