In local newz... "Under Wynne’s (Ontario provincial premiere... errr... something like that) climate-change plan, which aims to slash greenhouse gas emissions to 80 per cent below 1990 levels by 2050, gasoline prices will rise 4.3 cents a litre (about 16 cents Cdn. per US gallon) next year to boost sales of the Canadian/Ontario power-assisted bicycle."

`Kay. May be extrapolating here a bit.

"Toronto pedestrians have mixed views on potential distracted walking ban"
(City council voted for motion to stop texting and crossing the street)

("Province rejects Toronto's distracted walking request")

CBC News found one pedestrian who says he will be up in arms if the city makes distracted walking illegal.

"I think that's really crazy," said Omar Plummer, who was looking down at his phone as he traversed a downtown road. "I think that [it] should be legal."

"I don't think I was doing anything wrong," Plummer said. "I'm doing what everyone else was doing."
 
When yer late for work, at home, phoning the boss to explain yer "caught in traffic". (Turn volume on high.)

Lovers of the classic/antique pedal-only bicycle ("poop-mobile") still quiz themselves "How Much Do You Know About Riding Uphill?"
http://www.bicycling.com/training/skills/how-much-do-you-know-about-riding-uphill?

Acknowledges "Climbing hills is a brutal part of being a cyclist" then adds weird stuff like "but it’s a rewarding part as well".

Survey now asks "What's Your Climbing IQ?". (Ebikers can skip this part.)

"It was parked outside The Regal pub in King’s Square and was snapped with the dreaded yellow ticket bag stuck to it, by an eagle-eyed member of the Gloucestershire Live team."

"Ticketing of electrically assisted pedal cycles appears to be a grey area."

:lol: Next "grey area" coming up? When EVerybuddy wants to plug in. :)
 
I was actually given a Dumb Phone (Blackberry Bold) that I had to figure out how to disable the phone bit, can use it w/a WiFi connect to check WWW, but mostly makes a Handy-Dandy pocket camera. Still, I gather this thingee is sorta problematic when folks use it in traffic and while walking around, so thought might chuck this vid here.
