    Bike lane removal

    Never seen a kid on a bike hit a little old lady getting off a streetcar at speed, have you? You’d need to put the streetcars in the inside lane. Would cyclists be ok with that, or would they simply ride on the sidewalk?

    Bike lane removal

    This was my route starting from the same location, before many of the new bike routes. Maybe try it and see: I don't mind some routes being dedicated to bicycles. The problem is we also need routes dedicated to public transport, cars and trucks. Without trucks being able to move...

    Canada Post - Huge losses

    I heard they were very short staffed delivering the cheques, and no "inspections".

    GST/HST Holiday

    Timing is off. It doesn't make sense for Christmas, too late.

    Quick Jack?

    Learned a lesson today. I now put jacks with pins under the side lift points on the car, while I'm jacking it from the middle. Fortunately, the Odyssey has two visible nipples where you can put a jack on the front and back. Anyways, the post that fits into the jack wasn't inserted properly...

    The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

    Cyclists won’t be happy either. We put you in a new bike lane. Why? Cars are speeding. WTF? That’s not a good reason for bike lanes. Last time I was on Parkside, I felt the speed limit should be in the 60-70 range. There a couple of problematic spots that the city will never deal with.

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Helped my kid swap his tires. Didn't take long, he pulled his car in the garage, and a small heater got the temperature up to 14. Going to try and do mine tomorrow if I can get him up early enough. Not sure if I'll try and fit the minivan in the garage, for the swap. It doesn't give a lot of...

    Canada Post - Huge losses

    Walking routes were screwed years ago. Are you scabbing welfare cheques?

    In the video with Leno, they were $300 a pair.

    Ottawa city, not the feds. Deachman: Ottawa's traffic flex posts drive us nuts. But they work

    Quick Jack?

    I have a trolley jack and a pair of ramps. Cars that the trolley won't fit under get driven up the ramp until the trolley fits. Don't forget to use wheel chocks to keep the vehicle from rolling onto you. Being lazy but cheap I do two wheels at a time when changing tires. The main issue I have...

    Bike lane removal

    Ottawa seems to have an inexhaustible pile of cash for putting in and taking out those posts bolted into the road. Maybe Toronto should ask how they manage it?

    Rant: pulled out of my M test

    Had to wait two months when the tsunami hit Japan for mine. You’ll survive, especially with multiple bikes. Edit: I haven’t figured out an inexpensive way to insure multiple bikes yet.
