We need to have a conversation about how to regulate eBikes and other alternative electric vehicles. The industry has evolved quickly and regs need to catch up.
Retweeting this as food for thought. Let's talk about this issue and find reasonable solutions.

@peopleforbikes.bsky.social looks at the problem of "e-motos" that are confused with e-bikes. There is confusion everywhere in the e-bike world; it's time to clarify and simplify the rules and get the too-big too-fast two-wheeled things out of the bike lanes.
When it comes to e-bikes, we need "clear, simple, straightforward rules that a nine-year-old can explain."
People for Bikes has recommendations for dealing with the confusion between "e-motos" and e-bikes. I have some too.

It might be too early to call this a turning point for the Dems, but maybe they will draw lessons from tonight that will help them Federally.
Not in terms of actual policies (gov't run grocery stores are a terrible idea) but in terms of engaging the base and exciting voters 1/2

The #WorldSeries outcome feels like a grave injustice.
Toronto came so close so many times. I feel they wanted it more and they deserved it more.
LA winning is proof that money can buy championships. Toronto winning would have shown that character and heart wins the day. #BlueJays

A great thread ... love stories like these:
Robert Clothier was known across Canada as Relic on The Beachcombers.
But long before that show premiered, he was a decorated Second World War pilot who flew over 50 combat missions in Europe and had to learn to walk again following a crash.
This is his amazing story.

The Graham Ave "reimagining" was doomed. Pedestrian only streets work where sufficient density of businesses already exists. This is cart before the horse.
For now, Aimee Peake can visit fellow shop owners along her strip — at the convenience store, the barber, the bong shop.
