Possibly the best backdrop to the sacrifices shirt I’ve seen.

Cop gives driver obstructed plate ticker instead of speeding ticket, then driver accelerated away so fast that the vehicle left a (40-metre) rubber strip on the road, earning them a full stunt driving charge, impound and license suspension. #FAFO ottawacitizen.com/news/local-n...

A woman in her 50s was struck and killed by driver of a dump truck at the intersection of Smyth, Russell Rd and Othello. This is the neighborhood I grew up in and my mom still lives just down the street from here. #ottwalk www.ctvnews.ca/ottawa/artic...

Our first ride of 2025 is a week and a half away! Join us May 3rd in New Edinburgh. We are also looking for some ride marshalls to help us move together safely as a group. This is a great opportunity for people who don't have care responsibilities for youngsters to join the ride.

Federal crash test ratings are broken. Case in point: The Cybertruck, of all things, just got a top five-star rating. Did NHTSA consider how it could kill pedestrians? No. The likelihood that its rigid body might pulverize those in other cars? Nope, not at all. These ratings are useless.

This is interesting. Double-duty ebike quickly converts from commuter to cargo-hauler. newatlas.com/bicycles/gam...

Hey #KidicalMassHfx families, researchers are still recruiting for this study! They particularly want to interview kids age 7+ (with their grownups). Email Hayley if interested! [email protected]

Hey #ottbike, #ottwalk, #ottroll, #otttransit, how are the sidewalks cleared in your area this winter? I'm seeing sidewalk plows go by on Smyth Rd what seems to be very often. When not snowing, they go by spreading salt. The sidewalks are litterally down to the pavement.

Oh no! I'm late in paying a parking ticket issued by the Ministry of Transportation of Canada. I guess they'll suspend my driver's license issued by the government of Canada. What will I ever do?
