ANALYSIS: Is Doug Ford waging a war on cars?
“Whether it’s EVs, bikes, or even just public transit, the story is the same: the Ford government has been inept if not hostile when it comes to anything other than getting drivers in cars. Perversely, this isn’t even good for drivers: every incremental car we add to the road makes the experience of driving worse for everyone.
…
Without meaning to, without understanding that he’s doing it, Doug Ford has spent eight years waging his own war on the car”

#OttBike report

-The snow-melt-freeze means it's super bumpy and all the windrows are hazardous.

-Northside Scott and Albert were cleared. Southside Scott had a plow heading west around Holland.

Edit: probably one of the worst commutes of the season, to be honest, but hopefully some sun and maintenance will clear it up before too long.

My winter tires are at end of life (starting to get slow leaks from tiny punctures from the studs poking back through), but considering I got them in 2018 I'm resigned that they've had a good life and am using tape inside and carrying a small pump to get through these last few weeks.

Any #OttBike know if they go on end of season sale? So far I haven't seen any sales at my local shops on tires... though I have gotten some clearance clothes (my crosscountry ski clothes crosses for biking gear in most weather and is from like 2010 in most cases).

My compilation for February of my #Ottawa Biking Adventures are done.

Also includes a fair bit of skating on the canal too actually! Other than that, a whole lot of cars blocking the bike lane again.
