#BanCars #urbanism*Sometimes* surveillance is good. I keep hearing about how we can't have automated traffic enforcement because of privacy laws and concerns, but we absolutely need it.
Automated traffic enforcement
- lowers speeds
- decreases number of red-light runners
- removes cars from bus lanes
- is objective and safe compared to police officers
It saves lives and makes our cities a better place to be.

Yesterday several of us at Camp Coffee Club gathered together to help each other with bike issues by sharing knowledge and tools.
Trued my wheels, helped people set up tubeless and change spacers, maybe learned how to bleed brakes? Good times.

Today I left home to ride a short version of this via Harrison Lake and Pemberton, should take me about a week?
I'm trying to make it all the way to Agassiz and cross the terrifying Agassiz-Rosedale Bridge first thing in the morning when there's little traffic. It started drizzling in the afternoon, so I'm hiding at a pub squished between farm fields.

#mastodon search is infuriating
it's impossible to find an old post unless you've interacted with it 🙄
“Using AI is not worse for the environment than eating burgers or driving”
Guess what, I don't do either, and the environment is not improving.
Focusing on personal responsibility is a false narrative — don't spread it. We need systemic solutions such as industry regulations and worker protections.

The bike shop in Lakeport is not doing a great job. Weird radial lacing, no front derailleurs on 2x drivetrains, missing brake pads? Someone needs to hire a new mechanic.
For killing a person with an illegally modified truck, the driver got… a $1150 fine.
Tell me how this is justice.

@CStamp@mastodon.social I grew up on the cheapeast available rice and buckwheat, which always seemed to have foreign particles (dust? sand? rocks? sticks?, ???), of course we washed it. I wash rice to this day.
After we in NDP elected a Jewish socialist leader, the billionaire owners of the globe and mail are trying their best to spread lies. Pathetic.

@realestninja@social.linux.pizza I don't think I'd recommend #Windscribe in this context, considering this on their front page
The downtown Costco in Vancouver praised by @TheWarOnCars@mastodon.social is unfortunately located on a 5-lane one-way stroad, which makes it difficult to cycle to.
“Biking there is a hassle”, my partner said. The best advice I got is to bike 100m on a busy sidewalk (which is illegal and challenging on a loaded bike).

What changed for the BC's e-bike rebate participants:
· +40 km/week of riding
· -17 km/week of driving
· -17% in emissions
· -12% in travel costs
· +13% in physical activity

This is a clear win, but the program needs funding.
I'm loving our public streaming service!
We've been watching a couple of shows on Knowledge, and it's been great. #BC based, educational content, no ads, no fees 👍

@celesteh Convenience means that you can spend resources (as in money and labour) of your NGO on its primary goal, not on hosting and retraining.

@chetwisniewski@securitycafe.ca Our movers played the game of who can spot more HOSER graffiti on the way, they said the person who draws these is famous and they're everywhere.

@plactagonic @joe This would be my suggestion too. A friend built a bikepacking machine around an Omnium frame, but also carries his kid around town on it.

went volunteering at a local community bike shop, they had us rolling inner tubes the entire time

@LovesTha@floss.social I know, right? It's an ebike, and the drivetrain looks maybe a bit longer but not by much?
