I love biking for fun and exercise.
I also love biking for transportation and errands. Once I have better storage, I do want to get a nice e bike.
Not owning a car can make certain things more difficult, but the cost savings are incredible.

I've always wondered why so many "enthusiast" type cyclists (roadies, MTBers) don't own and use cargo bikes for daily errands.
I mean, clearly you love bikes. Seems weird to me that you wouldn't want more reasons to ride bikes. velo.outsideonline.com/urban/urban-...

Why We're Ditching Cars for Cargo Bikes (And Why You Should Too)
Cargo bikes are cheaper, faster for short trips, and more fun than the family SUV. Here's why you should make the change.

"... Iconic destinations."
Except they won't do anything to actually make it easier to get to (fix transit). Or nicer to be a human in (remove personal vehicles). Or a place for local businesses ($$$$ rent.)

Woah woah woah. Just had a thought.
Does Bill 60 also mean that roads can't be closed to vehiclular traffic for *temporary* bike lanes (ie. NCC bike days, CN Ride for CHEO, etc.)

Park the car. Leave the car. If you HAVE to drive, turn your lights on (yes, saw a car last night without lights), drive slowly, give lots of space.

There was a watermain break on Carleton Campus last Friday. There's another one right now.
When I was working on campus, I dealt with two different floods in my building. They've had at least one more since I moved departments.
Failing infrasctucure is everywhere and it sucks.

So... These "new units" will go on the market, for a higher price, and the people who are being kicked out will ALSO need housing, but will likely not be able to afford it.
That's not an increase in housing supply, that's an increase of money in a Landlord's pockets and screwing the renters.

This article says landlords currently aren't putting their properties on the markets, and making regulations more favourable to landlords would 'unlock' tens or hundreds of thousands of new properties. I'm not real estate expert, but I find that all hard to believe.

I'm wearing a pair of (men's) dress pants I bought in early 2020 for my (then new) job. They didn't fit when I started going back to the office, but I kept them because they're nice.
Tried them on last night, they fit again!
I know why men commit crimes though. No stretch. So uncomfortable.

My High School already dropped the name a few years ago.
There's actually a ton of things (schools whatever) named after him in Canada. Duke of York Boulevard in Mississauga and Prince Andrew Place in Don Mills to name a few. Plaques galore.
What becomes of them, I wonder.

BREAKING
In the aftermath of emails he and his former wife sent to Jeffrey Epstein being revealed, Prince Andrew says he has given up his title as the Duke of York, among other honors.
This also means that his former wife, Sarah, Duchess of York, will now only be known as Sarah Ferguson.

while it may not seem like it to someone scrolling by with a cursory look, what i am creating is not ‘ironic’ nor a ‘get rich quick scheme’ and it is certainly not AI GENERATED. it is a genuine expression of my heart and my beliefs about sexuality and art and love and freedom and curiosity and joy

Happy "I'm not sick, it's just a little chilly and my nose starts to run" season to all who celebrate.
Welcome to "Nose is a little drippy" bike season.
Just cold enough to fire up the nose faucet, not cold enough to kill the allergens. But you all look great in those sweaters and leaf stompin boots. 💙🚲💛

New bike's first (mini) real gravel excursion. To Gats from downtown, up Pink, Mackenzie King, then trail 30 to Wattsford Lookout for some Coffee Outside.
(I had brought my mini raclette grill, but there's an open fire ban on, so we went with cold cheese.)

After nearly 10 years of almost daily use, my day to day Pannier (Timbuk2 Alemany 26L pannier) has a broken back plastic reinforcement panel. It's sitting real weird on my rack rails, I clip my heel, and I don't trust it anymore.
