When you have a spot to store your bike, it likely can be used to maintain it as well.

Wipe the chain with a rug, put some lube on, spin the pedals.

I live in an apt building and ride year round.

Hey friends, please follow @ap.brid.gy so you could chat with people like me who are on the Fediverse!

I like Bluesky but not as much to post both here and there (@anibyl.social.coop.ap.brid.gy). The bridge helps with that.

Cheers!

Are there incentives to fund transit agencies and to help Canadians buy electric bikes and other micromobility devices?

I love this bridge. It's quiet, safe, it doesn't raise my stress level and blood pressure. All because it doesn't carry cars.

The venue was the Scottish Cultural Centre.

Class A Rents Competing in All But the Biggest Supply Submarkets Class A prices increased across the spectrum, except for extreme cases, in submarkets where deliveries amount to more than 10% of existing stock.

And if we don't build this, units in the next rezoning are going to exceed median income even more.

Here's how housing supply even of expensive units lowers prices across the spectrum: www.realpage.com/analytics/cl...

Sean Orr opposing a 0-displacement rental complex is really disappointing. COPE doesn't seem to be serious about solving the housing crisis.

I know a lot of people gave Sean Orr and COPE a shot, hoping they had learned from their oppose-everything stance.

Sorry, if you voted for Sean Orr thinking he would support addressing our housing shortage: you were wrong.

a bike lane that ends and requires cyclists to merge with the rest of traffic before the intersection, allowing 1 parking spot (with a large puckup truck parked in it)

City of Vancouver likes taking a balanced approach, e.g. making a bike lane worse to save 1 (one) parking spot.

Please take a moment to support this motion, from OneCity councilor Lucy Maloney, to create a Tenant Advocacy Office.

Here's the comments I sent in to support, but it's always great to keep things short: "I support a Tenant Advocacy Office" is all you need to say! Step-by-step instructions below:

23 years to get a school built. 23 years.

Can't wait for some local residents to complain about those extra 5 metres' height: the OV Facebook group is filled with people upset they're losing their off-leash dog park (it's not an off-leash dog park) and what do we need a school for anyway?
