@jonnywakefield Rogers Canada!

Canada!

@timquerengesser @andrew_leach @ehyshka ‘The Wind’ seems to regularly blow down and bend the frame of our Slow Down Kids at Play sign on our boulevard…on a non-through ave.

NGL, thinking about buying a speed bump.

@MarcWest79 @andrew_leach I agree, Harper was a clown, but not for this.

@andrew_leach We are disproportionately high because we are disproportionately cold. Canada isn’t the problem and even if we 100% eliminate our emissions the rest of the world will make them up in under a year. Our PM is a clown.

Canada's Prime Minister on why we should act to reduce emissions even though we account for less than 2% of global emissions. From one of my favorite speeches from a PM on the world stage.

@timquerengesser They need a new sign…pretty sure this is an unscheduled outage. x.com/cityofedmonton…

@andrew_leach Climitard Noun: a person who doesn’t understand that making small changes in an effort to reduce the amount of CO2 tax paid to the government can have a positive effect on the climate.

Not weird at all. Definitely normal.

@1MikeMorris @maxfawcett ‘Canadian Pride’, big difference.

@maxfawcett A good time to note that when PM Trudeau was accosted on a beach during his holiday by a faux wannabe 'reporter' he was wearing a tee shirt with 'Canada Proud' on it.

If Trudeau did this they would literally never shut up about it.

@KidinaSandbox @TheBikingLawyer @BravoDavenport I was cycling through an intersection on a green light. Driver made a left turn in front of me and I broadsided him. As I was closing out the insurance claim the adjuster noted his report didn’t contradict mine at all. He admitted to seeing me, just thought he was in the right.

@TheBikingLawyer @BravoDavenport I was cycling thru an intersection in a bike lane on green and a left hand turning driver cut in front of me and gave me the finger. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I was in the cross walk as a ped w a full walk symbol. Motorist ripped left in front of me. I thru my hand up said what about my safety only to be called a "f$cking pr#ck". This intersection. This hatred. I'm exhausted. Cc @BravoDavenport Cvwm562

@tomflood1 Come to Edmonton. It was +5C this morning…cooler in the river valley.

@drdagly The ones that confuse me are the 4-way Yields on 83 Ave east of 99th. What does the RoW hierarchy look like?

Ok, been riding this thing for years and I still don’t understand why when a car has a stop sign I have a yield on the right of way? Do pedestrians have to yield in crosswalks? This feels like a conflict generator.

@THEColeBoyd @timquerengesser I rarely cross at this one but 84 Ave is supremely frustrating. If you can see the train approaching 82nd from Avenmore, just relax and accept that you’ve missed the train, because you’re not getting a walk signal until after the train has come and gone.

@thestephtruck @CityofEdmonton Interesting that it says the closure started today. It was closed yesterday afternoon. I looked this morning before I left for work to see if it was still closed. When I couldn’t find anything I thought it must have been a short closure.

@rtiedema @CityofEdmonton it's technically hidden in the traffic disruptions page, but my understanding is that they're doing inspections on (this) northbound side, and then closing the southbound side for rehab. @CityofEdmonton the communications, signage, and detouring on this have been terrible.

@CityofEdmonton why is the Low Level Bridge path closed? I couldn’t find any information on the city website. When will it reopen? #yegbike #yegwalk.

@timquerengesser Park one of those on your street…might slow traffic down a bit.

@andrew_leach In my case I went from cycle-commuting 5d/wk 12mo/yr pre COVID, then FT WFH, then PT WFH, then the city built an LRT with stops 1 block from home and 1 block from work. Now, at best, I cycle-commute 2d/wk roughly 7mo/yr.

Bike counters (High Level or 107st) definitely showing how many fewer people are commuting than was the case pre-COVID. Work-from-home > bike-to-work?

@timquerengesser Hmmm…this seems somewhat less than useful.

Eclipsing....

@realKingscott @andrew_leach I came to say the same thing. Very much has Lada vibes. images.app.goo.gl/rVbGhStrRPoxEL…

@andrew_leach Looks more like a Lada Niva. The height of 1980s Soviet design.

It's like a jacked 1980s VW Rabbit. I kind of want one.
