They're trying this on Central Avenue in the East End but it's just large painted out corners and sharrows (that both do nothing). It's not really a bike boulevard at all. @cityofhamilton.bsky.social needs to take a serious step back and look at Montreal and Europe for best practices on this.

And then the city wonders why people in cycle lanes bitch about gutter lanes and sharrows so much 🙃 If they can do that to a concrete block at the Pier then paint isn't going to do shit.

STOP USING AI TO CREATE YOUR RESISTANCE MESSAGING!!!! The minute you use AI to protest anything and you've lost me. You're using the thing that is enriching the richest pieces of crap in the world, the very people marginalizing everyone! Crack out Photoshop and do it yourself!!!!!

I never go through Westdale Village proper, I always divert around on Cline or S Oval. The village core should just be pedestrianized already and force drivers around it. Tough shit for them, drive an extra block and cry in your steering wheel.

I take the stance there needs to be a clear line in the sand for protected bike infrastructure. I've watched enough footage of bike lanes in New York to know that mopeds are a menace in bike lanes along with all the illegal mopeds and e-motorbikes mixed in.

That's wild, still, blanket ban, lol, mopeds have zero place in any bike lane in my mind.

E-motorbike with "pedals" that are totally legit and functional.

Piece of shit white moped with pedals bolted on that are totally legit and can absolutely be pedaled like a bike 😏

Another moped with pedals bolted on to pretend it's an e-bike.

If you ride any of these fake ass "e-bikes" especially with those fake e-bike plates on the back, in a bike lane, you're an asshole full stop. Bolting pedals to e-motorbikes and mopeds does not make it even remotely legal. These should all be blanket banned from all bike infrastructure, period.

This is a revolting opinion piece that @thespec1846.bsky.social had the audacity to publish 2 years into a full blown genocide. Allowing someone to claim those Al-Jazeera journalists were Hamas is beyond depraved and just another right wing narrative to allow this genocide to continue. #hamont

Been digging around the subreddit for a few weeks now! Is a great resource. Love that the cycling scene out there is so active from what I've seen here, Reddit and Insta.

Been doing extensive research, buried in Google Maps, street view, YouTube videos of bike routes/the LRT, the whole shabang 😃 Excited to get out there soon now and experience it first hand!

Haven't settled on an exact location yet but we're shooting to be relatively close to downtown/LRT access if we can manage it.

I'm really excited to join this amazing community of cyclists! Gonna be a pleasure learning a whole new urban playground! 😃

Enjoying my last @cityofhamilton.bsky.social Bike Share rides with 40 days till the wife and I move to Edmonton! #hamont #bikeshare

And these pieces of shit will demand a budget increase all while they can't even get their own house in order. Anyone openly asking for a police budget increase in #hamont is a clown and not being remotely serious about the fundamental rot in the police force.

Oh The Urbanity: I get that Americans don't have a big "fix it" button right now, but it's shocking every time I see one on here say they couldn't vote for Harris because she was a prosecutor or not sufficiently pro-Palestinian. They literally had a "don't descend into autocracy" button and didn't press it! IRLhottakes: The European believes simultaneously that the average American is a drooling, brain dead orc who lives only to enact violence and act on his base animal impulses and also those lib nerds have a big FIX IT button they simply refuse to press. Eliasisquith: i am proposing a complete & total shutdown of european leftists posting on bluesky about american politics and culture until we can figure out what the hell is going on

I really wish you guys would stop posting political takes about the US election as you're just spouting neolib garbage again. You were proven repeatedly in the last thread about this that non-voters weren't the problem. It was the Dems and their shitty candidate and campaign. Just stick to urbanism.

Apparently if you call out a major urbanist YouTube account for their bad take of "non-voters are the reason Trump won the election", they'll bury their head in the sand and block you. Makes me question Oh The Urbanity! videos now as they clearly can't take an opposing view point on the chin.

You've got to be fucking kidding me right now. How many goddamn times do the idiots running our provinces need to be told what induced demand is? Just build more public transit, trains and bike lanes!!!!! Ontario is being run by evil, disgusting people. #ontario

This article is genuinely sickening to read and the wife and daughter still don't have a problem with AI companions!!! This thing killed your loved one and you still think it has a place in our world. Total brain rot.

This is so demented and sickening on so many levels I don't even know where to start. Call me a luddite, but AI and LLM's more broadly need to be completely and utterly banned. This is totally out of control and we're entering a seriously dark timeline right now.

Why the Mom and daughter don't have a bigger axe to grind against AI is the baffling part at the end. This thing literally led to your loved one dying yet you still see a place for AI companions? That's honestly one of the sickest parts of this story.

The city is talking out both sides of their mouth. We're currently changing our zoning to allow this very type of development while simultaneously blocking this specific project in the meantime while also wanting no urban growth expansion. You can't have it all ways @cityofhamilton.bsky.social.

Should absolutely get these folks' stance on bike infrastructure and expansion. Do they support the Hamilton Bike Share expanding to the Mountain? Ward 8 would be the logical launch point of said bike share expansion so it'd be important to know what they think.

AI garbage in that picture, do better

A blue Hamilton Bike Share bike named Kitten with a large, 20lb bag of cat litter in the front basket.

I found it highly fitting to get the Kitten @cityofhamilton.bsky.social Bike Share bike while bringing home a 20lb bag of cat litter. You can do virtually everything with a bike! #hamont #bikeshare

a man is sitting in a car that says ' a & m ' on the side Alt: Walter White screaming from inside a large SUV

Wab! Nooooooooo! Don't do it!

Proposed development that is a small 8 storey apartment and some 4 storey townhomes.

The development in question btw, lmao, this is what got rejected as some monstrosity. The people living around this proposal that fought against THIS are out of their minds.

That's even worse then, lmao

What a joke. An 8-storey apartment being rejected when it's a stones throw away from the highway, future LRT station at Eastgate and all the shopping plazas out there. We're in a housing crisis and Councillor Francis treats this like some sick game. This province isn't serious about housing at all!

What a joke. We're in the middle of a housing crisis while housing starts are plummeting in Ontario and an 8-storey apartment gets rejected when it's a stones throw away from the monstrosity big box plaza and mall in my screenshot attached. Councillor Francis is a hack. #hamont

You knew it was AI after being told repeatedly and hid all the criticism rather than just deleting the post and doing better. When shit like this is physically boiling our planet, ya, I'm gonna be angry with people like you spreading this garbage.
