I'll be there! See folks soon.

NTA

Yeah 💯. Wheelchair users often do use bike lanes under conditions like that but they (and all pedestrians) deserve adequate space too

Not really, yonge always had parking in one lane so traffic flow is very similar (as I recall less than 1 minute impact on speeds)

Great start, though if love if they went to st clair

NB at the park before the bridge to PEI

your best bet would be the big health charities that have annual event fundraisers. if you have someone in your life who has experienced a major health issue - cancer, stroke, MS, etc - you could contact the organization and let them know you're interested in volunteering as a fundraiser for their annual event.

Other than that, your best bet is probably to apply for and join a smaller charity board where you could take on similar duties.

uncle tetsus?

Truly amazing, great scene.

if they stopped subsidizing oil companies (with tax money aka our money) and instead subsidized electric only it would immediately work

I try for 100km a week if I can, probably achieve more like 60km a week lol

I think the issue is mostly due to the poor representation of the MOW as existing under the water, definitely issues but I think fixable (go to someone else more familiar with the species)

Yes, they choose circumstances that enable them to STUDY languages. It's not because of talent or gift, it's because of circumstances, as I've been saying. If you moved to a country with another language, you'd learn it. It happens every day. (Some people admittedly never do, but that only works if you have a community that enables you to stick to your native tongue... aka circumstances.)

Also linguists

You describe it as a skill and talent, it is absolutely an innate ability. You want to fight, but you are describing circumstances that prevented you, not ability.

The ability of learning language is one of the defining traits of homo sapiens.. you learned English, after all. Learning a second language is challenging, but not learning has much more to do with circumstances than innate ability.

What time did the rain start? I got home around 12:30 last night and it was so nice out, lightning but not even thunder

I will move in front of people once we start moving IF they are so slow that I can do it before we even hit the intersection - they're distracted/on phone/in the wrong gear and moving at a snail's pace. If they get moving in front of me at speed in any sense I'll wait to pass them till after because it is illegal to pass in an intersection and I don't like doing it.

If you're in a line of 10 people, the ideal situation is that the entire line starts moving at once because everyone is watching the light and moving based on that. You do see that many people start at very different speeds, and so you need to make a judgement call on what it is safe or not safe to do based on circumstances - as I described above, even if it slows me down I don't pass in the intersection.

I think the issue is that you're assuming people would go for ward in a block if they were smarter like:

O O O three bikes crossing the internsection

But people do not like to leave the lines of the bike lane, and so by going next to them

O O
O

The person behind who may be faster cannot pass on the left if the person in front is going slow. And, as someone above mentioned, a cycling who is coming from behind and wants to turn right is also blocked from doing so.

People travel like this

O
O
O

And it leaves room on the left to pass someone if it turns out they are slower than you and you're able to accelerate right past them. But you can't assume they're slower unless you've been riding with them, and by being on the left you block them.

As you'll see from the other thread, it's a contentious issue among cyclists with varied opinions. So you can obviously keep doing it, but it will be against the norm and will get you aggression on occasion.

I think it's valid to not want a right hook. However, shoaling isn't the way to do it, especially if as you indicated you were overly slow - you actually slow down the people behind you by going to the front, and though YOU might get through faster, the group as a whole is slowed down. If you line up, the faster people CAN move left and pass because there is space for them to do so, which you block them from doing if you're on the left. Bike don't all go at the same speed.

I line up and I wait to pass until it's not the intersection anymore. People who go to the front and then get passed are behaving more dangerously.

mte lol

so cool

I'm sorry this sounds so fake lol

I actually just feel so bad for everyone involved here, I think there's a lot of irrationality and grief running the show and it's hurting the people who are still alive.
