This is the most-anticipated game release of the year for me. It's a classic city-builder game, but instead of building the city, you bulldoze it for cars. https://www. youtube.com/watch?v=WFsf6mL9o_I

This is also happening in the US, too. Removing funding for bike lanes was part of the conservative "Project 2025" plan and the US Federal Government is now removing all funding and even mentions of bike lane projects: https://www. theguardian.com/us-news/2026/j ul/30/bike-lanes-defund-trump-administration-dei

Literally dozens of Canadians have contacted me about Alto Highspeed Rail, presenting it as some kind of "gotcha" that I'm wrong about Canada. The project that isn't fully costed, isn't due to start construction until 2029 or 2030, isn't due to complete until 2041-2044 ... and the federal Conservatives have already said they'll cancel if re-elected. Nevermind the fact that Ontario has been…

Some people get upset when I say things like, "voting left doesn't guarantee you'll get a good city, but voting right does guarantee that you won't", but it's true.

I don't even know what to say at this point. After spending three weeks in Ontario and Québec, I am more convinced than ever that Canada is destined to go backwards. This latest announcement is just the shit icing on the shit cake. What a fucking joke. https://www. thestar.com/news/gta/doug-ford…

It's fascinating how people on social media are always trying to gaslight me. "North America isn't as bad as you say!" "Canada is improving quickly!" "Things have gotten a lot better over the past few years!" "You're being too negative!" The best part about going to Canada every summer is reminding myself that these people are full of shit. It's been two weeks and I can't wait to get back to…

If you read my posts as "we should ban all bikes on trains" then you have problems with reading comprehension. Yes, you should BE ABLE to take a bicycle on a train sometimes. That is totally different than "train companies should encourage people to take their bicycles on trains and add extra bike carriages to their trains." It should be POSSIBLE to bring a bike on a train but a) it should not be…

RE: https:// social.notjustbikes.com/@notju stbikes/117031622101246791 It's amazing how cyclists will make almost exactly the same arguments in favour of riding their private bikes everywhere that car drivers make in favour of driving their private cars everywhere. At a certain point, private transportation does not scale, and that applies to bicycles too. Sure, it happens at WAY higher volumes…

Singapore does a lot of things right when it comes to car-free travel in hot weather. But is it peak tropical urbanism? Well ... not exactly. My latest video is now available on Nebula & Patreon: https:// nebula.tv/videos/notjustbikes- is-singapore-peak-tropical-urbanism
