I can understand @ParkBoard why you'd want to block overnight access to the south parking lot in #JohnHendry Park, but this is also the BC Parkway cycling route.Are there any motor vehicle routes in the @CityofVancouver that are closed overnight? #BikeYVR
How "Sad" 😂.

Daniel MoserYet another European heatwave🌡️
Italy, Spain, France, Germany and Poland are all facing a major heatwave with temperatures expected to climb to 48°C in southern Italy – potentially the hottest ever recorded in Europe.
This is the climate crisis. No place is 'safe' anymore.

A super important tool to keep cities cool during the summer.👇
I saw this sign today while cycling along N. Grandview Hwy (at Commercial Drive)
Love this sign 👇. I keep thinking it would be great for #Halloween as it would scare the you-know-what out of certain car huggers.
New York City dedicates a staggering 80 percent of its available curb space to street parking — “a combined area equivalent to 12 Central Parks.”

StreetsblogMASSA great idea being tried out in Quebec: combine a speed camera with a traffic signal, so that speeding drivers get punished with more time looking at red lights:
"Bike lanes have a significant impact on traffic, both in terms of reducing congestion and improving safety. By providing a dedicated space for cyclists, bike lanes can help to reduce the number of cars on the road, which in turn can reduce traffic congestion. More protected lanes means more people leaving cars at home and opting to cycle, which is a win-win." https://momentummag.com/the-future-of-transportation-the-role-of-bike-lanes/?s=09
