Use bikes to do what needs to be done as much as possible (groceries, kid to school, library, get Christmas trees etc.). PhD in Astronomy some years ago. Enjoy computer programming as a hobby and for work. Help researchers use computer clusters and cloud.

The more I think about this and the more I see what Andy and the province are doing.. It seems like he sold his sole to the province to become mayor.. and now he can't do much other than look like an idiot and put forth motions handed to him from the province.

It is THE most amazing thing and it sustains us all. I wish our politicians gave a fuck about caring for it.

I tried watching the speech...and honestly it was too boring to bother...I stopped a little way in.

It is very important to pay money to keep the mayor from saying stupid things....but paying money to save people's lives? Nah...we don't need to do that.

Often it is easiest to unit if you share a common enemy.

I wasn't thrilled with Mason....but it doesn't take much to be better than Andy. I voted for Mason.

If you are worried about bikes going that speed.. just wait to see what cars do.. wow.. your not going to believe it!

Oh.. but austerity doesn't apply to me, just everyone else.

I have seen cases were u-racks like that were bolted down to paving bricks.. you cloud just pick the rack and bricks and all right up.

I hadn't thought of doing that.. will give it some thought.

My guess is keeping Andy from saying stupid things.. but that might be impossible.

#bikehfx interesting bike-lane plow idea. I have a trailer not too dissimilar to that one.

Yesterday, while trying to park my bike in same snow covered bike racks at Dal, there was someone with a shovel there.. about to clear them. It was a dal employee... I thanked him for clearing the bike racks.

I loved FF7... I remember building a button presser out of lego and taping the walk button down so my character would walk in circles to grid XP.

One thing I would like to learn more about.. is how to change brake pads on hydraulic disc brakes.

Yeah I know...but still wasn't quite sure I should post the actual words.

yeah.. I contemplated not saying the actual words. It sucks, but honestly I am getting used to people being asses to people on bikes.

I don't understand the hate directed at cyclists. This morning while biking my kid to school on the back of my ecargo bike, someone rolled down their window and yelled "fucking retarded", probably thinking it crazy that we were biking in the snow. They have no idea what it is like to bike in snow.

ugg.. I saw that post go by.. and have been trying to find it... even when I click on your quote post, I don't get to it.. bluesky sucks with long threads of posts.

I wonder though, is this what Andy wants, or is this what the Province wants or is there any difference?
