Will the Cargo Bike Replace the Rickshaw in Polluted and Congested Megacities?
The urban mobility of tomorrow—especially in older, denser cities—may rely more on human muscle than machine horsepower.

YEs definitely. $35.00 CAD each.
After reading your post, I tried putting one on the back of my bike. Looks good! Casts a bright arc around the back of the bike that would do wonders for visibility. Looks particularly good against the white snow.

Never forget, if you design a city for cars, it fails for everyone, including drivers.

Choices.

It’s not a hard concept.

The thing about speed cameras is they *do* result in initial revenue, that's true, but they also are effective at speeding! The revenue element doesn't negate the safety benefits, and as this study shows, revenue declines over time.

Once upon a time margarine was made from healthy, natural fats. But now it's made from ultra processed seed oils. Think canola, safflower etc. #nutrition #food
The Newfoundland Butter Company made margarine from whale, seal and fish oil. That margarine was then smuggled into Canada where it was sold for half the price of butter.
The company was established by Sir John Crosbie, the Minister of Fisheries in Newfoundland.

By the time Newfoundland joined Canada, margarine was legal for sale in Canada...sort of. Provinces put in rules related to the colour. It could not be sold yellow and had to be sold white. To get around this, manufacturers sold yellow dye packs with the margarine.

Due to pressure from the diary industry and farmers, the Canadian government instituted a ban on margarine in 1886 through an Act of Parliament.
For the next half century, with a couple breaks, margarine was a no-go product in The Great White North.

When margarine was banned in Canada, it was bootleggers in Newfoundland who kept Canadians supplied.
The manufacturing of margarine is even enshrined in the Newfoundland Act.
This is the story of Canada's Margarine Prohibition Years.
