Yeah idk how ppl are thinking this is cold. You'd think I'd be extra cold since I just got back from Asia.. but maybe its cause I slept with AC blasting at 18*C.. it was like sleeping in a fridge.

I'd argue it's double layered - ebike adoption might not be as strong if we didn't have the bicycle infrastructure to support that traffic. In this instance, government did what they were supposed to - they rolled out infrastructure and rolled out grants to promote adoption. But it's all too typical across Canada where we have this learned helplessness and lack of urgency.
Sent from my CPH2655 using Tapatalk | That's a fair observation, a very chicken and egg scenario, but the ebike phenomenon is taking off regardless of bike lanes or not around the world.

It's still good riding weather, I went Sunday and it was warm, not shirts off warm like my usual, but t-shirt warm.
Still probably a good few weeks into October for riding, usually retire the bike into storage by November.

Walking in the afternoon is still pretty damn warm. I have to take my jacket off or I'm a sweaty mess by the time I get home.

I wanna see White on a bike.
Don't usually see a 250lbs man riding a carbon bike in leotards, no wonder he didn't come over

I did notice a motorcycle rider circle us a few times and he had this whitev70r look*. I wrote it off to give him benefit of the doubt, but here is he, just a soulless username to us all.
Probably went back to his wife and said to her, "wah, ho gay, lah!"
*I have no idea what he looks like. I'm sure he's a nice guy in person.
