🤷

Listen it's not endemic.

But it has happens.

These motorcycle sized bikes on the subway are pretty obnoxious. They take up a ton of room

Not sure if that's even possible here.

It feels like every Uber Eats delivery person is on one of these things.

They are everywhere.

I imagine we could grandfather in existing vehicles somehow, maybe by distributing stickers for existing owners. I dunno.

But it would kill the gig economy here, I feel like the electric motorcycle problem might be here to stay.

Can't argue with the base premise. But here in Toronto it's the ebike wild West. Where no law is enforced.

Folks are ripping by in the bike lanes on 100lb electric mopeds with throttles and fold away pedals. I've seen bikes where the chain is rusted off but the "bike" happily zips past a grandma on dutch bike at 35kph.

Recently the transit commission finally banned ebikes on the subway because they were lighting trains on fire.

All I ask is that ebikes are limited to pedal assist and have a weight limit. But I think the genie is out of the bottle.

Anyway. I've got opinions.

I've had the concept of this photo in my head for a while, we've just been waiting for the right puddle.

Happy I could finally take the shot.

Gotta make the effort

We were planning to road trip to the US in the summer with Bowie our dog.

The idea of a border agent getting anywhere near our dog is absolutely terrifying.

Trip cancelled, driving through small town Ontario instead.

Brilliant puzzle game

Designed to be played on a controller with one hand so you can take notes with your other hand.

Such a cool stylish game. Highly recommended.

Deep state is having a nap I guess.

I don't mean that facetiously, honestly surprised the CIA is just chill with everything.

We've been super lucky with Bowie

 

Bowie isn't afraid to play with puppies
