I suppose the double edge sword of sponsoring an F1 team is more scrutiny. They should know better.

I guess there's no K. They call their stubby the teeny Turner.

In my perfect world, multilaned roads would be split up. Two or 3 smaller lanes would go to the ebikes and velomobiles, but since lanes are so huge on our current roads, there would still be space left over for full sized cars. Those would include busses, which would now be freed up with almost no traffic to become the quickest way to cover long distances (think one end of a sprawled city to another). It would also include the delivery vehicles and work vehicles with stringent licensing. Perhaps automatic plate checks for people headed to a highway road trip.

What you're describing would fit great on the ebikes roads though for short distance public transit, although the pedaling might be more for fun and exercise than a requirement, as they would need to serve people of all sorts of physical abilities. With slower speeds, would also be a great case for autonomous microbuses, which are being tested in various places.

Again, all a pipe dream, but the funny thing is is that we have all the infrastructure, technology, and vehicles (can start with golf carts) needed to achieve it extremely quickly if there was ever the will to do so.

Fantastic. Honestly wish cars weren't there at all but they are connecting roads and I'm not sure where else they could be routed.

This is a dumb policy and I too hate the UCP, but what does this have to do with Calgary specifically?

I'm having trouble seasoning mine. Any tips?

They make stubbies. These are prettyuch ubiquitous here in Canada where they're made. I've never had an issue with one except for losing bits which is on me.

I've always been fascinated by these things. When you think of the relatively miniscule amount of energy it takes for a cyclist to move along at 30km/hr, or an ebiker to move along at twice that speed, it's absolutely insane that we use 4000lb cars to move us just a bit faster still.

If we were all to drive around in 100lb electric velomobiles with speed limits capped at around 80km/hr, everything would work better. There would be fewer safety issues, road maintenance would become almost negligible, and traffic and parking would be largely solved

Obviously, highway vehicles and towing and delivery would all still be a thing, so this would need a completely separate road network and is basically impossible, but man are cars overkill for getting us from a to b.

Remember when people were crying end of times when the NDP raised minimum wage? Fools.

This is interesting. On the one hand, seems great that such a cast area will be redirected and protected. On the other, it's being done by a private company to offset terrible activities. And while a big area, on the global scale it seems tiny.

It sort of makes clear that credits, even when followed, are not going to be enough to solve climate change.

I mean traditional shoes take away stability. Probably the most stable foot is a strong bare foot. Minimal barefoot shoes probably take away some stability but a negligible amount.

Stability comes from toe splay, and engaging the arches of the foot. Traditional shoes bind the toes, making your foot narrower than it otherwise would be, and less stable. They also have foam, providing an unstable surface, and usually arch support, preventing your arches from engaging.

But - most people have weak feet from years of wearing shoes that weaken their feet. If you have weak feet, then most of these things (arch support, foam, tight fit, heel drop), will increase the stability of a weak foot.

Your feet will strengthen as you do exercises with minimal shoes. Over time, you will become more stable than you could be a traditional shoe.

In my experience - at least after my feet got stronger - shoes take away more stability than they add. You're on the right track with your other comments: you need flexible soles for lunges if you are going to take advantage of the full range of motion of your toes, and improve that range. For ohp, a wide shoe is nice as it helps your toes splay out and create a wide base.

I'm not sure where you are, but in Canada there are barefoot shoes on Amazon called whitin and joomra that are super cheap. I like the joomras more, they just seem better made, but both have very squeaky soles, which sucks. Still, they are cheap and feel great. I have 3 pairs: one for boxing and gym, one for town, and one tighter pair for baseball. Highly recommend.
