Hippie motherfucker!

Headlines from CBC, Globe & Mail, Trillium, and Star about Cycle Toronto's successful injunction to pause bike lane removals

Not a bad day.

Advocates celebrate court-ordered pause on Toronto bike lane removals An Ontario judge paused the Ford government’s plan to rip out three of Toronto’s major protected bike lanes, handing cycling advocates a symbolic victory.

“We’ve always argued that ripping out bike lanes won’t solve congestion, and the judge’s comments reflect that,” said Michael Longfield, executive director of Cycle Toronto.

Really exited for The Bell House show. And we’re already lining up a lot of shows in other cities. Tour t-shirts to come.

Bogotá celebrates a “car-free day” at least once a year, and it is the best day ever because no car means no traffic, more people on bikes, and more people using the public transport system.

You love to see open streets. 😎

Colombia: OK

Trump: Fine, no more shackled detainees returned on military flights

Colombia: Good. Was that so hard?

Trump: They gave in!

It’s spelled “Colombia”

Officers from #GMPTransportUnit stopped this Tesla Cybertruck in Whitefield last night. The driver was a permanent UK resident but the vehicle was registered and insured abroad which is prohibited in the UK. The Tesla Cybertruck is not road legal in the UK and does not hold a certificate of conformity. Whilst this may seem trivial to some, legitimate concerns exist around the safety of other road users or pedestrians if they were involved in a collision with a Cybertruck. The vehicle was subsequently seized under S165 of the Road Traffic Act and the driver reported.

Thank you to Greater Manchester Police for helping keep vulnerable road users safe from this.

There's a reason Tesla Cybertrucks are not legal in the UK and Europe; Cybertrucks present acute dangers to pedestrians and don’t meet European safety standards.

The vehicle has been seized.

Good morning!
This is how my commute in Utrecht (NL) starts in December: from the world’s largest bicycle parking garage into the darkness of the morning rush hour, where most people I see are riding a bicycle.

Way to go Toronto! 🇨🇦

We visited a recycling facility in Canton Zug, and I was amazed by how much you have to pay and the process involved in disposing of your rubbish! I think that’s fantastic. It really makes you think about all the unnecessary things we consume and how to get rid of them responsibly. ♻️

Another reason to feel confident about leaving Ontario for good.

Hoy nos fuimos a explorar algunas villas por Zug y Zürich, para terminar con unas polas. 🍻🚲

Night (bike) riding in Bogotá 🚴🏽‍♂️🌃

New tram-like buses begin running from Crystal Palace to Orpington The vehicles use pantograph technology and have a structure attached to the bus roof to recharge them.

London is getting some super modern looking buses. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Visited Zug (🇨🇭) today. The main train station amazed me. Services every 2-5 minutes to Swiss and Italy destinations. Almost no parking spots but plenty of space for bikes. All in a city of just 30,000 people!

Cars suck!

Couldn’t resist taking a selfie with the IR75 -SBB🇨🇭

Berlin knows the answer. 😎

I’m a fan of visiting every grocery store in every city I go to, even more so if I get there by bike 🚲
