Montreal’s cycling community showed up today in some pretty awful weather to defend one of the most important bike projects in the city.
The 18 km Henri-Bourassa corridor, under construction, was threatened by the newly-elected borough mayor.

Worth remembering: both WSJ, after Trump sued for $10bn over (true) Epstein stories, and NYT, after Trump sued for $15bn over (true) corruption reports, have stood up strong.
