I wrote a thing for the Freep.

I wrote a piece imagining what it would be like if motorists had to constantly plead their case at city hall for safe and effective infrastructure, the way cyclists and pedestrians do, complete with the pushback from councillors over costs and rationale:

We’re at the Winnipeg city council meeting, where among many issues, we’ll be seeing if council has the guts to keep people safe on Wellington Cres

Six months ago this morning, I was out with my kids, on the way to the park. I knew the collection of police vehicles along Wellington Cres signaled tragedy on a dangerous stretch of road, but my heart sank when I saw Rob Jenner’s mangled bike laying alongside a stretch we traveled regularly.

The difference between equality and equity. Excellent.

Sometimes you have to treat people differently in order to treat them equally.

Back in Japan for a work event (but arrived early to see friends) and here is a snapshot of what I’ve been up to. Thrifting, bike stores (Blue Lug Hatagaya pictured), a custom cycle cap maker in Kyoto, and of course, a much anticipated visit to the Nintendo Museum.

Friend: *posts a picture of melon Fanta on his trip to Japan*
Me: *squinting* I see you’re on platform # at so-and-so station.

Friends don’t let friends doxx themselves. And in Japan it is so easy to doxx yourself because every streetpost has address and neighbourhood information.
