Toronto drivers are creatures of juvenile spite and chaotic lawlessness, snidely disregarding the duty of care demanded by piloting two tons of metal carrying lethal kinetic energy.

Not all of them.

Not even most of them.

But: enough.

(I'm fine.)

"Premier Doug Ford and his government have been given the go-ahead to rip up Toronto’s bike lanes as originally planned starting March 20, after a Superior Court judge denied a request for a temporary injunction.

Justice Stephen Firestone on Friday denied an application by cycling advocates for an injunction that would have halted the removal of bike lanes on Bloor Street, Yonge Street and University Avenue until" an April 16 Charter challenge.

Welp, I missed the group meetup but I still went out for an excellent winter jaunt through the city. Exchanged coffees with @dfraser, hit all my errand stops, and managed to lug a 10kg UPS back up the Bathurst hill from Spadina/College in that yawning black hole of a messenger bag I use for this kind of ill-advised errand.

Lovely day so far, and there is still sunlight in the sky! #dlws #bikeTO #mastobikes

(That's Timm's wild rainbow Brompton there, from Pedaal.)

I don't want to jinx it, but so far Toronto's Snowpocalyse mark III(?) doesn't seem to be much, which opens up hope in my heart that the streets will remain clear enough for tomorrow's scheduled "Coldest Day of the Year" ride, cycleto.ca/coldest_day_2025 (10:30 am meeting, 11 am departure).

Since I don't go on 100% of the rides I don't prepare for, I'm currently making sure my bike lights are charged up and so on. And keeping my fingers crossed.
