Twitter Updates for 2009-06-10
- Holy crow Rogers. Tethering until end of year. 6Gb/$30 for an unspecified limited time. Ever wonder why people hate Canadian cell providers? #
- RT @drowcliffe Push for cyclist-only streets: 670 YVR’ers hospitalized for cycling-related injuries b/t 06/2008 + 03/2009 http://is.gd/V4Rn #
- RT @TripleOs: To celebrate being on Twitter, we are giving away $10 gift certificates to our first 100 followers! #
- Fergie is featured on the BEP’s new album + cover. Does that mean she’ll be with them when they play Vancouver w/ U2? Also, awesome. #
- RT @bcalmanac Bikers: How safe do you feel on the roads? Live call-in radio discussion at 1pm, on CBC. (604-669-3733 in Van) [via @lisasj] #
- Listening to BC Almanac (#cbc radio 1) about feeling safe on bikes in Vancouver. Should be interesting. #
- Arguments about biking on the right side of vehicles. If you are going to pass me in a shared lane on my left, I will pass you on the right. #
- The myth that cyclists don’t pay for roads is one that drives me up the wall. #dumbasses Most roads are funded by property & income taxes! #
- Good cycling tip: ride 1m out from parked cars. My rule of thumb is ride door-length+ from parked cars. Puts you in the middle of the road. #
- Rather, middle of the lane. Cars behind? Tough. At least you see me. The tired guy getting out of his car doesn’t + is bigger threat. #
- Caller bikes as if all cars are “blind, drunk, or insane”. Sounds like @ValerieMaclean’s “they’re all trying to kill me” mantra. #
- Biggest problem about cycling on bike routes in Vancouver? Traffic circles are NOT chicanes. 80% of drivers (incl cyclists) don’t know rules #
- RT @rickmercer: NS Tories have cratered and died. I don’t get it, they were so cosy with Harper? Chalk it up to a culture of defeat i guess. #
- Softball game tonight at Hastings Park field. Never been there, understand it’s complicated to reach. Leaving early in anticipation… #
- I wonder what the lethal intercept velocity of bumblebee vs forehead is. ~60kph hurts but is not deadly. Well, for the bee it is. #
