Day 13 10 minute map

I did briefly think about mapping 10 minutes, (10') but this was just much quicker 😀

Also, SO MANY DAMS! I knew there were a lot but goodness.

Unsettled that the national zeitgeist is hashing out conversations rampant on 4chan 15 years ago right now. Not just because they're awful and infuriating but because they're what convinced me to leave the message boards back then, but I can't just leave real life

Check out this awesome rear bike light mod!

Vistatrekker on Instagram is a bus driver who documents his cycle commuting in Ireland.

He uses a camera tripod pole and has attached two lights at the ends for improved range estimation for drivers.

I might make it bendy but I really like this!

Maybe I'll start a thread for records keeping. After the cuts to @ripta.com this 22 is the only bus we can take to get my kid to school on time in a reasonable way. But even then it's usually so late now my kid is still late to school. This will be the case today

This Day in Labor History: November 12, 1928. Workers for United Fruit in Ciénega, Colombia went on strike over the horrible conditions of their work and life. The response from United Fruit? Kill them.

This is a small snow plow for sidewalks

If your city plows the roads but leaves sidewalks up to property owners, your city hates pedestrians.

I have to hand it to them, it's an incredible bit to publicly lose a game of chicken, admit that's what happened, and then spend the next day lecturing everyone about courage and tenacity

As someone who rides all winter long, this is a really great thread! As Travis notes, everyone is different, but this gives a great overview of areas to focus on and potential clothing options.
In honor of my first <30ºF bike commute of the season, let's talk about how to stay warm in the 20s, 10s, and even 0s.

For years I biked for transit in Boston 9 months a year, pausing in winter – but one year I decided to just keep going. So can you!

Here are some tips 👇🏻, please share yours too!

Sean has called it.

The Dominion Building is in the Beaux Arts style and was built from 1929 - 1930 by the architecture firm Ross & MacDonald that also built Maple Leaf Gardens.
Glorious, beautiful, incredible beaux arts

Somewhere along the way, freedom of movement became freedom from responsibility.

The search for a superior moral justification for selfishness has never idled this smoothly.

Cars might work fine in California or Florida, but they’re not practical here in Canada. We have winter.

Since people are amped up to give to their neighbors I have a couple anecdotes to share. No judgement just little things you might not think of depending on your intended recipients. A lot of people donate old bagels but lots of folks we feed don't have the teeth to handle that....
I understand the sentiment, but this is misguided and harmful.
