Great video by @ben-durham.bsky.social about the cost on society when people choose to get around by bicycle.

Was not expecting to talk about kicking taxis or getting stuck in a snowstorm, but we went there! Great discussion with @ben-durham.bsky.social

You should learn why your city’s financial health is YOUR responsibility and how it shapes your daily life.
Welcome to adulting.
Also check out the new Wheels and Beyond episode with Michel Durand-Wood wherever you get podcasts.
Did you know you’re a CO-OWNER of your city, not just a resident?
Yeah, so from clean water to property values, municipal finance impacts EVERYTHING in your life. Most people ignore it… until the trash piles up or toilets stop flushing lol.
For over 40 years, Winnipeg’s iconic Portage & Main intersection has been CLOSED to pedestrians. In 2018, 65% voted to keep it shut. #winnipeg
Ah yes, Ward 8 Councillor Steve Lehman. Featured in my other Wonderland Road lane widening video 🙃 (youtu.be/9rjIBE-r4ns)
I literally haven't heard anyone say that he's gotten back to them after submitting feedback or questions to him.
Best solution? Vote him out in 2026!

We NEED to get eyes on these bad decisions that London's City Council is consistently making when it comes to Active Transportation infrastructure.
I've TRIED talking and “being nice” but have been met with incomprehension. There's a FUNDAMENTAL MISUNDERSTANDING of what Utility Cyclists are VS what Recreational Cyclists are. Councillors, you NEED to know the difference when making rash decisions like these.

I worked pretty much 48 hours on this until I was able to get it released ASAP (the day before everything is locked in by council) because EVERYONE needs to see this before the final decisions are made tomorrow.
“People get very complacent driving cars, because it’s easy, and you are very protected and you’re very isolated inside your car.
It’s easy to forget that there’s a huge amount of energy inside a car, even when it’s only going 20 or 30mph."
what. the. fuck.
We might legitimately move out of London, Ontario at this rate.
We were excited to have these bike lanes go into our area, along routes that we frequent. Peter Cuddy LITERALLY SAID HURON STREET IS TOO DANGEROUS TO BIKE ON – THAT'S WHAT BIKE LANES ARE FOR!
Thanks! It's being talked about live right now at council 🤞 www.youtube.com/live/y8v1BXt...
@adoseofbuckley.bsky.social we should definitely sit down and chat sometime!
re: www.reddit.com/r/londononta...
hahaha siiiigh
Came here to post about this, and all I needed to do instead was repost your post! Sick!
London Ontario looking to resurrect 'dead' stroad widening project that will cost 100s of millions just to make traffic worse.

With the USA/Canada Trade War kicking off via #tariffs being put on everything on both sides of the border, this conversation is important to hear when deciding how to support Canadian and which ecosystem to buy into going forward.
My wife Natalia has been riding her first-generation Biktrix Swift Step-Thru #ebike since 2021 and LOVES it! So we've kept in contact with Biktrix and this opportunity to chat with Gordon came up. So now you get to have a nice listen to our conversation!
Their ebikes are Assembled In Canada (specifically in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, so QC (quality control) is one of the best in the entire industry.
It staffs more than 50 employees (majority here in Canada) including mechanics, logistics specialists, customer support agents, research and development personnel, engineers, e-commerce experts, and bike enthusiasts.
Biktrix is a Canadian-Owned Electric Bike company that's different from many of the other “ebike companies” that you might have stumbled upon online.
