I fear that I will die without accomplishing anything.
What I need to remember is I don't have to, say, publish a book to accomplish something. I accomplish a little something every time I make you think or even laugh.

Those that lament Chicago’s low ranking in the annual list of bike-friendly cities should pipe down. A city that doesn’t give equal priority to clearing bike and car lanes can’t claim to be a bike-friendly city. This is Clybourn Avenue, which holds a protected bike lane corridor to Downtown.

Between 1927 and 1931 Faber produced The Ariel Poems – a series of seasonal, illustrated poetry pamphlets – sent to authors, friends and acquaintances in place of a Christmas card. There were 38 pamphlets made in the first series, with a further 8 printed when they were briefly brought back in 1954.

Salute to Toronto for this pivot:
Ontario premier Doug Ford banned Toronto from building new bike infrastructure that replaces car lanes.
Toronto's response: Narrow but retain existing car lanes, freeing enough space to keep installing bike lanes. (Better yet, narrower traffic lanes are safer.)
