So far, 100% of the bicyclists at whom I yell "It's a one way!" who are going the wrong way: respond by cursing me out or asking to fight me.

This open <s>poaching</s> invitation for PhD students to come to Sweden for their doctorate in #Transportation raised some distracting questions for me.
https://mathstodon.xyz/@frdrk/114425396687786349
1. Is there a PhD in human-powered transportation?
2. Totally understand how the Heritage Foundation's drive to destroy #HigherEd is terrorizing (#cyclist) #students already in the system. How many are considering studying abroad?
3. Are non-student bike people feeling pressure to migrate, too?

Cycling Through Evergreen Street
These days, it’s so unusual to see a cyclist who isn’t a delivery person on the roads in Cork City that this man caught me by surprise as he turned into Industry Street from Evergreen Street.
Luckily I had my camera out, as I was walking down to Nano Nagle Place for their photography exhibit where I had a number of photos on display. Can’t believe that was in 2019.

100+km (65 miles) ride today. A ton of cyclists! Beautiful weather! But I did get sunburn a little and felt overheated for the last 15 miles or so.
Also a very hard ride! Averaged 18.4mph with almost 3000 ft elevation gain. Two guys are very speedy and strong but thankfully I was able to keep up most of the time. We swung by Rhode Island too :)
@DurableAce @ascentale @MartyCormack @bikenite It is a tell of a true #cyclist that one expects to be able to ride home after N+1 pints.
Folks, something to remember about me:
The biggest ego boost is asking me if I am riding an electric bike or I'm just really strong, while you're on an electric bike riding along.
I think it's the sourdough toast I had in the morning.
“The only way is to lift my #bike over my head”: Cyclist slams “anti-bike” gates creating “low cycling neighbourhoods” instead of low traffic neighbourhoods #LTNs
A #cyclist has raised concerns over a network of restrictive gates and barriers across a #London borough’s parks and cycle routes, warning that outdated infrastructure is blocking access for many and undermining efforts to encourage #activetravel

Some surprising news: a #perth driver was issued an infringement for close passing a #cyclist from video evidence. Was expecting the “it’s difficult to prove” speech like usual. #biketooter
OK, I found Vancover #ByLaw 2849, whose paragraph 60 has just this:
"No person shall ride any bicycle upon any sidewalk except where posted by signs."
That's it.
Three-year-olds are "persons".
A kid bike with 10" wheels is "any bicycle".
I've never seen a sign in Vancouver
next to any sidewalk saying you can ride there. Only on designated mixed-use and cycling trails and bike lanes.
So your little #Cyclist is breaking a #Vancouver by-law and the BCMVA.
