Thank you for your interest in the project!

I have no idea how to do that, but you're welcome to do it if you know how.

The Reddit post got removed as the Mods don't like self-promotions and it didn't have any description.

You're welcome to try and post and share it. It would be interesting 2c

Hop on, ride off! πŸš†πŸš²

As of today, bikes are welcome on-board of EU trains. All new and upgraded trains in the EU will have dedicated spots for full-sized bicycles.

So, you can ride wherever the train takes you!

The Trans Canada Trail is schizophrenic. It doesn't know what it is, and changes user type at random places.

The Trans Canada Trail is NOT a hiking trail. It's a SCAM.
It gets in the way of building a National Cycling Route Network!

What do you think of the Trans Canada Bike Route Network?

I've built (designed) the Trans Canada Bike Route Network, the proposed National Cycling Route Network for Canada and am looking for feedback from the global cycling community to make it better.

Research shows SUVs and utes are the most deadly vehicles SUVs and large utes are among the most popular vehicles for car buyers in Australia. They may also be the most deadly.

β€œA review of scientific research has found that pedestrians and cyclists are 44% more likely to be killed in a collision with an SUV or light truck, compared to a passenger car.

The outlook is even more dire for children, who are 82% more likely to be killed when struck by the larger vehicles.”

Thanks @tombabin.bsky.social for making this clip about how pervasive car brain and motonormativity is as a barrier to encouraging more walking, cycling, and transit. Draws some parallels to smoking back in the 1950's. #BikeTO #WalkTO #TTC #TOpoli #VisionZero www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdqZ...
