| To Live and Drive in Vancouver
To live and drive in Vancouver - The Globe and Mail Quote: |
Another frequent Vancouver sight is that of a Mercedes cruising through a red light without slowing down. The look on the driver's face is so serenely oblivious that it leaves everyone who is obeying the law wondering if they missed the memo.

I don't know how placing the wreck beach in the wrong side of town is a hyperbole or serve any comedic functions though. That and highways that never crossed somehow has an "intersection"...

A life-long resident warns that if you drive 5 km/h over the limit don't be surprised if someone pulls up at the stop light and gives you the "Vancouver stare" - a double-shame-espresso glare that is a bolt of "Who do you think you are?" self-actualized passive-aggressive energy.
| When has that ever happened? I dare someone that isn't a cop to bitch at me for speeding. | |

yes it's tongue and cheek but i thought the mercedes and stare comment were pretty bang on

Similarly, pedestrians seem utterly unafraid of traffic, like deer that have been raised in captivity and fear no predators.

I hardly drive anymore. When I go downtown I take my mtb suspension unlocked and I clocked in @ about 30 Km/h +- takes about 45 mins (Cut through the trails where there are no cars) from metrotown area to robson and burrard. Almost the same time as I would have taken a car to park and etc.
I believe road bikes are faster.
