@notjustbikes Just had a thought. Self-driving car software like Tesla's recognize speed limit signs via the car's camera array and adjust their speeds accordingly (+10 KM/H because hey laws are just a suggestion, right?). As autonomous cars become common what if cyclists started wearing jackets with a 20 KM/H speed limit sign printed on the backside? Alternatively print a large orange construction cone on the back since a car is unlikely to give a cyclist space but they are scared of cones.
@notjustbikes I thought you might get some enjoyment out of this one. Everything is *chef's kiss*. According to the road builder's association, the GTA is not building enough roads and doesn't have enough political will to build the roads needed. Also since one-more-lane bro has met its natural conclusion on the 401, there is no alternative but to build more roads over or under. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Xd_KHhb6o8

Silicon Valley is done with regulators and critics. Billionaires like Elon Musk and Marc Andreessen are lining up behind Donald Trump and his Thiel-funded running mate J.D. Vance.

They want to ensure tech is integral to making American great again.

@notjustbikes What you fail to mention in your anti-truck videos is that Canada is a cold snowy country and only F150s, Dodge RAM WARLOCK EDITIONs, and SILVERADOs can get the good hard-working Canadians from point a to point timmies. I'd like to see your bakfiets handle these kind of extreme conditions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAXmVnWJlB4

I downloaded sample, listened https://www.404media.co/university-of-michigan-sells-recordings-of-study-groups-and-office-hours-to-train-ai/
