“If you get hit by a car travelling at 50km/h, you’ve only got a 1.5-in-10 chance of surviving. If it’s going 30km/h you’ve got a nine-in-10 chance.”

“But it was not enough to put up a sign that says 30km/h…there also needed to be design changes to slow down traffic.”

Speed is always a factor.

Switching 50km/h speed limits to 30km/h would protect cyclists while barely affecting commutes, research finds

One expert says a cyclist hit by a car travelling 50km/h has about a one-in-10 chance of surviving, while at 30km/h it is a nine-in-10 chance

I love Toronto bike share and god bless bixi but it's nothing without infrastructure. Especially so when your govt threatens rip out existing infrastructure

Infrastructure is important but as he says he, North Americans need to toughen up a bit. Like just get over it. Snow and rain and cold happen every year in Toronto. It's not a big surprise.

my bestie is telling me that Matty Matheson is dishing on brunch.
“People that go to brunch are like white walkers and you can’t stop those mutherfuckers…brunch is like a year round pumpkin spice latte…brunch is a fake culture”
he is correct !!!

Been watching these guys go through some Canadian cities and it is so wholesome. Just a reminder not to take travelling so seriously. Enjoy what you see. Don't get wrapped up in fomo. Be grateful to get to travel because so many can't.

It really was incredible set design. Fantastic musically as well. I was in the nosebleeds unfortunately so didn't get a great view into the box but sitting beside the stack had other benefits 🔊🔊
