You ain't seen nothin' yet. Wait until the Trump effect kicks in in 2025 and beyond.

Screenshot of the painting The Scream By Kent Monkman. Pictures depict a Jesuit taking an Indigenous child from their mother. The mother is being held back by a Canadian Mountie.

Just finished Shade. Definitely an interesting read.

I assume you were also riding before Strava?
I used to log my runs through something called Dailymile, so plenty of years are unaccounted for in Strava....
That said, I didn't log bike rides when I started riding again in 2009.

It's a really terrible picture, but I spotted this pied-billed grebe while running through the arboretum today. I've only seen them in pictures, had no idea they are so wee. Cute lil diving duck.

I'd go blanket 30k. 😈
It's still faster than I bike, so, 🤷🏻‍♀️ 😃

me 10 years ago: when my kid gets bigger it’ll be a lot more fun to go on adventurous vacations with him

me now: what a joy it is to spend so much money to bring a resentful, world class asshole to see sights that were incomprehensible to me at his age

It was a 5 deer, 3 turkeys, and 1 fox, ride today, set to the sound track of 273627 juncos. 👌
In and out before the chaos, it was very quiet, except me talking to the animals. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Gotcha.
I'd defer to the designers on that.
Generally, from my perspective of having biked it over the course of many years, it feels better.

I just remembered moldy peaches opened. I'd entirely forgotten until Google reminded me. 😂

Do you mean curbs the entire length?
Or just where the cushions are?

Ha. I saw them in Montreal that same year. Didn't end up sitting in a bath tub after though. I think we drove straight back to Ottawa post show.

Oh this is great news!
That Shade book I was telling you about is heavily focused on LA, and yikes...... 😬

The five point one feels better too.
It always felt really awkward and precarious having to go from Sherwood to Kenilworth.

That said, I think I'm on board with this 30k local street redo. Raised crossing, & speed cushions which go into the bike lane, presumably to keep drivers out, but enough space between them and the curb so you can avoid on your bike. Definitely felt less stress than ever biking it today.
