Huge news in Ontario today! This will benefit people who cycle, but it will also benefit people who drive cars — though some of them might not know it yet.
"Justice Paul Schabas concluded Wednesday that the bike lane removals will not reduce congestion. In his written decision, Schabas highlighted expert evidence ‘which establishes that bicycle lanes, and in particular separated or protected bicycle lanes, reduce motor vehicle traffic congestion by providing an alternative method of transportation that is safer for all users of the roads.’”

Today’s court ruling on bike lane legislation in Ontario is important in Waterloo Region as well. City of Waterloo Mayor Dorothy McCabe shares her thoughts:
"Mayor McCabe, who is also a regional councillor, said for years the region has had a policy in place that says when regional roads are redeveloped, pedestrian-friendly sidewalks and separated bike lanes will be added. She said after today’s ruling, there’s no reason to take a different approach. ‘The province has an important jurisdiction. The federal government has an important jurisdiction. And municipal parties have important jurisdictional responsibilities. And I think we collaborate when we need to, but we know our communities best. And I think the court is reaffirming that. So I’m pleased to see that,’ she told CTV News.”
So I’ve just re-watched this @notjustbikes video and it goes even harder than I remembered! It’s a fact-based evisceration of the bike lanes legislation, car culture, Doug Ford, his government, and conservative politicians in general. And it’s absolutely worth watching the whole thing right to the end! Set aside some time and do just that 😀🚴🏼♀️❤️

And given that the Ontario government’s cycle lane legislation has been ruled unconstitutional in a blistering judgment by Justice Paul Schabas, this feels a great time to revisit this hilariously scathing video on the legislation (and more) from @notjustbikes
For folks who are interested, Justice Schabas’s actual judgment makes for engaging and invigorating reading. He has little time for the government’s lazy, BS “reasoning” and he makes it crystal clear why.
(Edited to correct “Judge Schabas" to “Justice Schabas”)

If you like nature photos there are a bunch such as #Mosstodon#LichenSubscribe and #ThickTrunkThursday.
There are also more than a few communal activities on here (some are synchronous, some asynchronous) which is a great way to meet people: #Monsterdon (sunday night "monster" B-movie watch party) #QueerRomanceClub (queer book club, reads one book a month), #BikeNite (people ask bike questions everything from the basics to super technical stuff and are very friendly to encouraging new riders), (there is also a video game club that does a game a month, but I can't recall the hashtag)

So I was quiet after my 200 km ride because it stopped after falling after 161 km while changing direction on gravel on the road. Impossible to stand up due to extreme pain in my left leg. I called 911 and the ambulance picked me up.
After Xray I got confirmation of a broken femur. I got chiurgy yesterday. À this morning, I was able to standing with 2 person help.
I will keep you posted
