'As you ride through a neighborhood with a high number of residents that struggle to afford rent, the device kicks in and adds resistance to the bike’s front wheel, as if some magical force is applying the brake.'

I like e-bikes and I don't have anything against them at all (in fact I have a little one) BUT, after a while, the classic and natural pedaling is still better in that mix of sensations between effort and enjoyment... 🚲😀🌳

Came across this crash scene. Someone hit several inches of sand at the bottom of the Runymede underpass between St. Clair and Dundas. They got injured.
It was not marked with any pylons, nor cleaned up after the storm.
A parking enforcement officer briefly stopped and I was shocked that they did not try to put some yellow tape or pylons. Ive seen random trees in parks encircled with yellow tape, but not here where it would have mattered.
I'd like to thank the person that was warning people at the top of the underpass. I went and found some pylons strewn about and tried to block the bike lane off.
City staff should be taught cycling, so they could intuitively understand and address such dangers.
This sand washout from the railbridge has repeatedly happened. Why was it not properly fixed months before?

After too many years of being closed, the Lower Don Bike Trail opened a few days ago… mostly.
I decided to check it out today and take a few pictures. I started at Pottery Road, heading south.
There was a new pleasant pull-off zone by the river which I failed to stop for. Instead my first stop was at the tiny sculpture garden just before you pass under the Bloor Viaduct. The “sculptures” here are actually casts of architectural details of buildings in the city.

Heading south from the sculpture garden we were stopped almost immediately by a big tree that had fallen across the path, probably because of last night’s torrential rain. Annoying when the path was so recently opened!
There were a lot of bikers waiting to push through the undergrowth around it, so I tried to organize them to move the tree. But it was too big and heavy — it would need to be cut up. I reported the tree to 311, then worked my way around it.

— Dude: Hey, it seems you don't make many kilometers on the route and just take photos and that's it....
— Me: look at all the punishment I've given to the left crank of my bike... that's another change I'll have to do... 😛🚲🤷🏻♂️

and here, the new suspension installed in my humble bike after it broke.. I hope it can stand many bumps of the common street without pavement and the dirt road of the hills... I know, it looks like a spring of a bed but I like it... 😀🚲

The chances of cyclists getting kicked by jumping rabbits on open roads are very low... but not zero. #Biking #Cycling #Bunnyhttps://www.youtube.com/shorts/aoUnnz63Sxw

Spoiler alert, it's really a standard #Japanese design and was likely built by Sekai. #BikeTooter #bikerepair #biking #cycling #bicycle #bikerestoration https://youtu.be/idlk5phO7Ac
