In Scandinavia they start with the sidewalks, as cars do not stumble or break their legs

What's "courage" in the summer is "certain death" in the winter. https://bsky.app/profile/tomflood.bsky.social/post/3lfzjh5i6r22f

If you're in a community like mine where residents are responsible for cleaning their sidewalks, you can also see which of your neighbors care about people not in cars.

In my experience it was the city owned land that didn't have adjacent sidewalks cleared

My town is actually really good about this

Looks familiar & no traffic at 8:45 am on the city main street

“We can’t install bike lanes because we don’t have the appropriate tools to plow them! And we certainly can’t have right of ways that we don’t plow!”

An unshoveled sidewalk justifies walking in the street, blocking traffic, correct? That's what I take from the disparity.

Worth resharing as we are getting more snow this week than we’ve had in years.

It will make Winter Bike Day Fun on Friday

🎯 yet again! 👏

toronto cyclists should take the lane and have each bike take up as much space as a car and travel no faster than 10kph. THAT'LL get those bike lane removal bills reversed real fast.

And it will last for days and weeks longer for pedestrians and cyclists because snow gets pushed and piled up at the edge of the road and blocking crosswalks.

Yes, but cyclists want separate lanes.🤥

Not sure what the "but" is doing there. How is that relevant?

xtophe-le-c0rfec.bsky.social•12 days ago

It was irony.
Of course, bike lanes must be treated like others. Snow in winter and leaves in autumn (for example).

clintoncoker.bsky.social•12 days ago

Fair enough

trickydickybe.bsky.social•12 days ago

Mmm...
Yes, but cyclists don't want to be in fear of their lives every time they go out.
There are many ways to reduce this risk.

tesplendente.bsky.social•12 days ago

It's also dangerous for cars. If you are driving and hit that bit of ice at the edge your going for a wild ride you don't want to take. It just makes sense to clear - the whole thing.
