  • I don't get other cyclists who blow by me at stop signs. Hey moron, if I'm stopped there's probably a good reason for it. #bikeyvr #
  • Today's ride: long-sleeve jersey and flashing front light. #WinterIsComing #BikeYVR #
  • .@lazarus7 Guy today: helmet, full bright riding gear, seemed concerned for his own safety. Other than nearly killing himself at 4-way stop. #
  • Poor old Johnny Ray, sounded sad upon the radio, he moved a million hearts in mono. #
  • Time to ride home, and maybe take the lane too. http://t.co/gTRELurt #bikeyvr #
  • 15C/59F and heavy mist. July 23rd. Vancouver, you’re aspiring to be San Francisco, huh? #
  • Some smartass in the neighbourhood has their wood fireplace on. Checking the calendar for the umpteenth time today. #
  • Why are antivaxxers dangerous? Because preventable diseases like whooping cough are killing MORE children now http://t.co/RXrmh6aj #
  • Well, crap. RT @CarmenMills: trail-a-bike maufacturer just went bankrupt, no new parts coming for months – if you want one buy it now! #
  • Coming to a stop in the middle of a traffic circle to pick up pedestrian. Congratulations BC 212SKD, you are #Asshat Motorist of the Day! #
  • New big-wheel, shifting Trai-A-Bike shakedown ride. #inthevillage @ Creekside Community Recreation Centre http://t.co/4HULwzZl #
  • Yup, works great! 8.5 km, 35 min #bikeyvr @ Vancouver Convention Centre West http://t.co/p3OfJmN9 #
  • 20 km ride tonight with @AidanFloyd. New Trail-A-Bike works great. Can't wait to do some long rides with him! #bikeYVR #
  • Your morning WTF MT @smuttysteff: Biking to school is NOT ALLOWED? http://t.co/er0fHwuW (via @geekboydotca) #

  • I made this half-pony, half-monkey monster to please you … maybe I used too many monkeys #jocointheafternoon #
  • Turning the tables, the BC RCMP issues a rather public calling out: RT @SgtRobVermeulen: Dear Whistler News Editor http://t.co/9p3TD1Up #
  • When is an open API not so open? When there's big bucks involved. Twitter limits Instagram's access: http://t.co/aIpTAm8g #

  • Vancouver Sun article on the theft of 5200 bottles of wine from an Aldergrove winery doesn’t bother giving the name of the winery. #fail #
  • It did give the breakdown of the kinds of wine stolen, and asked for tips. You’d think the name of the winery would have been an imp detail. #
  • Pro tip: When applying for a job, and referring to "attached C.V.", ensure that you have in fact attached said C.V. #
  • Also, it helps to know difference btw a C.V. and a resume. If it's only 2 pages long either it's not a C.V. or we don't want you anyway. #
  • I'd like to see Ottawa try to force the Northern Gateway Pipeline on BC. It'd purge us of all the CPC MPs at next elxn! #bcpoli #cdnpoli #

  • Good: PVR'd Opening Ceremonies. Bad: Forgot they always run long. Good: US is getting them tape-delayed. Bad: Can't FFWD now. #
  • The voice major in the house noted that it was clear they are athletes and not singers. #nanananah #
  • Another @United failure http://t.co/ZmsahVSH #storify #
  • Happy Birthday Theo! @harrietglynn @coffeefilter #
