A scanned image of a sketchbook with drawings on it. At top, a quadrupedal wolf is shown sniffing the ground behind a sedan with a small wolf in the back seat. The quadrupedal wolf has thought bubbles above his head, showing that he recognizes the smell of a road atlas and a wilderness parking pass. In the second drawing, the quadrupedal wolf is shown seated next to the smaller wolf in the car, both wearing three-point seatbelts, telling him what it is like to run free in grassy fields. In the third image, the small wolf gazes out the window, imagining himself as quadrupedal, running through the same grasses and flowers.

Clearing The Tracks

Completely different framing in Le Devoir, highlighting the drop in funding for BIXI (~$10 million a year to $5 million).

Also less money for expansion of the bike network, from $20–30 million to $18–20 million.

While retaining the budget for maintenance of the bike network.

i feel so faggy riding my folding bike

One thing I wrote about here is how technology has made buses *way* more convenient while techno-futurists were obsessed with flying taxis and self-driving cars.

When mad drivers tell you that you, a cyclist, don't belong on roads because you don't pay registration and the gas tax, show them the Road Damage Calculator. Compare, for example, the damage made by a small SUV and a longtail cargo e-bike. Very different orders of magnitude roaddamagecalculator.com

The Enoshima Electric Railway ran over my face.

Not just TSP ! — new motion brought late today at TTC Board to look at stop spacing, vehicle speeds, and parking and turning changes. Let’s go!

Line 6 replacement bus scheduled runtime

Line 6 replacement bus sample on-street runtime

Line 6 late evening maintenance replacement bus is scheduled for a 34 min runtime, about 26% faster than the train (46 mins). Kinda bad.

In reality, the replacement bus can make the trip in ~24 mins, about 54% faster than the on-street runtime I experienced on the train (~53 mins). Really bad.

A New Tramway and a New Leaf. Canada’s newest urban rail line open to the public.

I rode the Finch light rail today. It’s slow, but it has potential, and it brings with it a lot of good things. Read my latest article now:
