Victoria is a very comparable city to Halifax in a lot of ways.
But when you look at Victoria’s investment in cycling over the last 10 years, there’s really no comparison at all.
This video might make you sad for what could have been #BikeHfx.

I remember when getting published in Nature was a huge accomplishment and something anyone in the science world would want on their CV. Now they’re publishing absolute slop apparently.
Hey @nature.com, have you got an explanation for how the hell THIS happened? & especially why you accepted a paper with such a bizarre piece of genAI slop in it?!
