I'm about 300m from the gas station and used to schlep these on my shoulder home. Now that I have a wagon, I realize I've been too old for that shit for several years now.

I love my wagon.

@jleiper 👏👏 have a collapsing grocery cart that can hold 110 lbs and I’ve used it for groceries, hauling the kid on bus trips when our destination was too far for him, bike cleaning water jugs (condo building) but want a (collapsing) wagon for winter!

And yet the high speed rail being considered from Quebec to Toronto will fuck over the crown corporation VIA Rail in favour of a P3 because P3s continue to show the real value for money of these shit partnerships https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/alstom-halts-work-on-redesign-hailed-by-city-as-final-fix-to-lrt-woes-1.7213904

@Auxonic @chrisbegley fuck of course this exists. Is it a subsidiary of the Pathways Alliance?

@Auxonic ohhh interesting, can’t recall where I read the P3 bullshit but I did read it recently. We can only hope this becomes a VIA project

So the NCC doesn’t seem to have posted on their website that the bike weekend closures are NOT running this weekend, so FYI for those of you who do not follow them on Twitter or instagram 🙃 Met some folks at the park who were riding on the parkway after 8 AM with kids who had to get the fuck off quickly when people ended up driving behind them #ottawa #ottwalk #ottbike

@eljojo we were going to do it this morning because that’s what the website says 🙃 plus part of it is closed for the marathon tomorrow 🤷‍♂️

I subscribed to the Criterion Channel streaming service a couple months back and wow has it become my go-to streaming service.

It has so so much good stuff that I don't think I'll ever run out of movies to watch.

@casseagull I think for me I’m looking forward to the 2nd season of the Tour de France in like 12 days(ish) and then 🤷‍♂️👋🤷‍♂️

@casseagull same. They’re cutting us off early July soooo bye bye. Not really going to do anything to fill that gap as of right now tho might do the odd month here or there depending on what gets released but as a set and forget? Nope done

@Hansonthebike would be nice to be able to cross there “one day” with a cargo bike, without having to detour on roads to mooneys bay or bank street bridge (never using Bronson, let’s be real)

The kid turns 5 whole ass years old tomorrow. Thinking back to 2019, it feels like a different universe back then.

This image forever makes me laugh as a friend told me it made the daily media briefing at Parks Canada 😂

I see Rockcliffe has entered the NCC’s “let’s chat about some vague updates to the waterfront” chat. What a charming area that should be bulldozed for affordable housing.

@Auxonic hahahahaha yacht club members and those who flying fucking airplanes for fun are the ones being hard done here???? You can drive right to the aviation museum 365 days a year, the bike days do nothing to hinder access

I love Mayor Sutcliffe’s passion for opening roads for active use! Now imagine if he were consistent in this position.#ottawa #ottawalkers #ottbike

@kdorse the utter speed and urgency that goes into reopening the roads after the racers past is mind blowing. Absolutely no time wasted for this

Some closed NCC pathways on the south east side of Bells Corners on a morning just trying to make new connections west of us and south of us.

From Bells Corners and the Trans Canada Trail going east, I’ve never spent much time. All the roads down there scare me to be honest. I just dont trust people and not knowing where decent shoulders are makes the exploration slow. Yes Google street view etc but my capacity for planning only goes so far 🤷‍♂️

Hey OC Transpo announced this morning that you can now pay for with an Interac Debit Card. This is in addition to being able to pay with a credit card or mobile pay on any bus or LRT station

Kids don’t need inspiration. They need space. They need fucking adults to care for a few minutes about something other than their goddamn travel times

David Cochrane interviewing Andrew Layton about Pierre Polievere so dude can shill is book which seems like fanboy fiction it’s unfortunately not surprising. Like, my guy, the fact that 98% of PP’s beliefs are still the same as when he was in college isn’t a bonafide that most people would be proud of. I mean, if you have paid any attention to who he is, it’s not surprising #cdnpoli #cbc

Apparently I’ll be getting the wondrous $7.85 from this LifeLabs “settlement”… I’m giddy that I’ll be able to buy a round trip pass on OC Transpo with this 🙃 curious what else I can buy with $7.86. Maybe we all pool our big earnings off of stolen data for purchasing power?

It’s the kids birthday this week, it’s almost June and we’re all sick again. The kid’s had the “cough at night that doesn’t go away” for weeks and my throat and lungs hurt as they haven’t in a long time. Tests are negative for days and fuck I hate kindergarten sometimes. We haven’t changed a lot of our behaviors but the amount of kids hacking away at his school the past few weeks is sad frankly

Curious where the marketing / storytelling potential is for companies who do NOT use the various forms of AI, especially given the myriad of issues (water & resources, excuses to cut staff, further enshitification of customer service) etc etc. I bet some smart folks could really do good storytelling around this on brand recognition etc

I love watching, making photos and cheering people on while racing. I don’t really know what is going on with my body/nervous system that has gotten worse in the past few years but I couldn’t fathom doing this anymore. In 2012, I did the Mt St Louis Tough Mudder, 17 kms, 9 times bottom to top of that fucking mountain with all the obstacles and I was probably 315 lbs. Bodies are amazing and frustrating
