You sound like Rob Ford, like everyone else is a sucker for waiting in line and that somehow you're God's little snowflake and too good to wait like everyone else. And exactly why the public has such a dim view of riders. And I assume you didn't look at the photo... he did get caught...

I was in my wife's cage when he passed us (on the same ramp). I got out and walked across the street to the subway station and took the pic from there (at which point he had been pulled over).

I don't disagree, which is why in post 12 I suggested in that if people want to lane split/filter, they should lobby the government to make it legal. Until then, don't do it. I've seen it done in Holland and Italy (literally like 5 vehicles in 2 lanes) so it can definitely work, but over there...

It's dangerous in an environment where its not legal because drivers are not expecting or not accustomed to it. And I've seen morons lane split on a two-lane highway (ie the two lanes are in opposing directions) which is definitely close to about the dumbest thing I've seen on two wheels. You...

I can equate them insofar as they are both illegal and dangerous; and generally done by the same type of hooligan. Also, the reason we are forced to worry about what other riders are doing is because there are a small number of very visible bad riders that are causing problems for the rest of...

Wiper fluid is the best, especially with your visor up (my brother in law did that to me - on the Allen no less). Stings a wee bit in the eyes.

Yeah, almost makes me want to give them the door prize or the squeeze to set them straight.

I see it all the time too, just the first time I saw this stupidity get rewarded. (If you guys wanna filter, then argue for the law to get changed, until then, obey the law. - Although technically this still wasn't filtering since he was on the shoulder and not between rows of cars)

He was wearing his helmet. He took it off after the cop stopped him for riding on the shoulder (which, just so everyone is clear, is both illegal and potentially dangerous). It's also incredibly obnoxious, as riders have no divine right to bypass the line in an intersection.

Heading south on the Allen this morning and saw this douchenozzle riding up the shoulder so he could bypass the line at the Eglinton ramp. Rode right past a cop who then proceeded to follow him up the shoulder.

Not a big gamer but main ones right now (now that I've broken my Candy Crush addiction) are Starcraft 2 and World of Tanks

Dammit i was just heading out....

Welcome! Whereabouts in Brant County? I grew up first near Burford and then near Mount Pleasant.

Ottawa is much closer in size to Mississauga than Toronto, so not really a valid comparison. Los Angeles County has a mean property tax rate of 0.59%, and I suspect infrastructure-wise it's a lot closer to Toronto than New York is. New York has an outstanding and intricate subway system (which...

Listen, I think you're misinterpreting what I'm saying. I'm not arguing that property taxes should go down, in fact I think they should go up a bit (I would even support a reasonable levy to support new transit infrastructure), but to those who would argue that our tax rates should be the same...

While their budget problems are maybe not as bad, don't tell me they don't have a budget problem. Even Mississauga, which bragged for years that they don't have any debt, is in a deficit situation. Also, the residents of communities outside Toronto use a far higher proportion if Toronto's...

There's two reasons Toronto's tax rates are so low: 1) Our property values are so astronomically high if we paid the same rates as outside the city, we would be paying a lot more taxes compared to the services we receive 2) It actually costs less per capita to deliver services to residents of...

IMAX is worth it alone for the reserved seating, not to mention the greater step height. I see everything I can in IMAX (including GI Joe 2, which was a piece of crap)

The reality is almost any TV 50" is larger for under a grand is likely to be complete garbage. I fell for one of those Future Shop Boxing Day specials a couple years ago... The screen had an awful green hue, the colours were all washed out, the refresh was stuttery at best, and was just plain...

It indeed has a built-in battery backup that will work for 25 hours after the bike battery is pulled (and will even report if battery is low) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
