Or this one by my tram stop. Well lit, covered and useful!

First day of first-fake-spring ?

Mum: How's life in Europe
Me:

I like how these Dutch ones have raised metal poles making it easy to chain your bike to them. These are everywhere (and covered at my tram stop. That’s nice. When it’s raining my bike is dry)

BRT 🏎️🏎️🚍. 50+ of us on the bus.

Any idea what the source of this was? effluent from a factory?

Nothing slows down a driver more than them hitting a speed bump at full speed. The Saint John installed "speed cushions" on a shortcut road connecting North and West. People either slow down themselves or get forced to slow down because of the person in front of them. I'm a big fan.

Feels like big highways, free bridges, lots of parking and a disregard for BRT and bike lanes would be the priorities that come about with that makeup.

Maybe a floating dock? (.5 MWh & 800l of water to generate my dumb joke)

Wow that's a lot of residential units in that area that can get compltely cut off by a train. I wonder what the solution will be.

Does that ever look fun!

Isn't that funny how we can still hear that phone number being sung in our head. I called it a couple months ago wondering if it was still being used.

I remember a less-effective one I believe for the ferry to Digby.. 565-74 something something maybe?

This is such a great path. It would be nice to see a lane cut between the bridge and harbour passage to make this part of the trip better. The walk/bike by stresscon is still awful. There's only a single lane crossing the bridge so it's not like we lose anything except people going 70 on Chesley

I see it's -10/-18 back in Saint John.. I can handle Amsterdam's 6' thank you very much. 🌦️

Nice!

Salty's wow.. I remember going there in the early 2000s.

City hall appointment in Amstelveen. No busses. Plowed bike lanes - it was awesome!

City hall meeting tomorrow at 9am, no busses running and code orange with snow and slippery bike path. Definitely a "don't forget you signed up for this" moment. #codeoranje

All trains cancelled this morning around Amsterdam Centraal.. chaos!

A couple of big missing use cases: kids biking to school & after school events, quick grocery store trips and parents taking their kids to daycare/school. That seems to be the bulk of what I'm seeing here on the big bike lanes in amstelveen.

I came over to the netherlands last year for my wife's family reunion and it was so cool seeing her 80+ year old aunts riding ebikes (with helmets) I saw a lot of activity on rural paths too with groups of seniors on ebikes.

586 days until spring

40CM ?!

Streets and parking lots can be reused for other things.. like this! #museumplein

My kids told me their friends who lived in the suburbs of saint john had to rely on drives everywhere. No independence.. can't really bike or walk anywhere outside of their cul de sac. Living uptown with bus service really helped in our case.

Last weekend before Christmas.. everyone in Amsterdam (+me) went to the Makro/Sliegro today. Traffic! On the plus side, I discovered the huge Amazing Oriental in Duivendrecht. Peking Duck for dinner #amsterdam #stickshift

I bring a lot of glass to our depot on the golden mile here in SJ. Hopefully it's recycled properly - it's nice to divert glass from our trash.

I biked to the grocery store without it making newschasers.. I consider that a beautiful day too haha

I biked to the tram today.. #willywonkaschocolatefactory

But it is 11'.. I can deal with that, enjoying this t-shirt weather
