I know, some of you “don't like bike lanes”, but they're an important part of the future of so many cities for SO many reasons. Those reasons are explored extensively in this video.
Write your councillors in support of Huron Street staying on the Mobility Master Plan's near-future projects Network Map ASAP, even in the future! Let them know how you feel—always.
I've TRIED talking and “being nice” but have been met with incomprehension. There's a FUNDAMENTAL MISUNDERSTANDING of what Utility Cyclists are VS what Recreational Cyclists are. Councillors, you NEED to know the difference when making rash decisions like these.
We NEED to get eyes on these bad decisions that London's City Council is consistently making when it comes to Active Transportation infrastructure.
I worked pretty much 48 hours on this until I was able to get it released ASAP (the day before everything is locked in by council) because EVERYONE needs to see this before the final decisions are made tomorrow. Unfortunately, it was released in the evening, so… I tried. Also, I tired.

^ no, seriously, this might be the literal most important thing for recording people talking when on bicycles. Moving through the air creates SO much wind noise, otherwise! But putting these on the lav mics capsule FULLY removes the wind noise like absolute MAGIC! So cool!

![Why Everyone Is Wrong About Inflation (*it’s higher than ever)
The worlds falling apart right now but APPARENTLY, inflation is super low too! So why the heck doesnt it FEEL low? Why is everything as expensive as its ever been before?
Did we do something wrong?
Well, its been a long time coming, and these are just a few of the things that are all coming together at once. Its a lot and isnt even the tip of the iceberg (which is, ironically, melting).
