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.

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.

Didn't you say you're 250lbs or did I completely make that up?

I don't recall saying I was that big ... I usually don't disclose any personal facts that makes me remotely identifiable ..
If I do state any personal facts, it's almost certainly a red herring, part of my altered ego.

I'm surprised how well things are going considering Canada post, liquor store, weed store is all closed. I thought these "services" were essential. We should just shut all of them down and get Amazon 4 am delivery to do it.

idk about you but that's the opposite of things going well. I want Canada Post back open. | If you're in a major city (iirc Kelowna) and not some middle of nowhere one road town, Canada Post is usually NOT the cheapest option. I did the cost breakdown the last time they went on strike and showed clear calculation that Canada Post is not the best or cheapest option.
Seeing that Canada Post is on strike, all of the load that CP bears gets moved onto everyone else, thus the temp. price increase on shipping charges.
That said $35 for smt cross border sounds about right.
