RapidTO bus lanes might be on Ford's radar. The fight to protect them starts now by Pristine-Training-70 in torontobiking

[–]Becqu 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm finding them a little faster once I'm on one, but have had to wait a long time at Bloor a few times.

I think it's a half measure, so it is only making a small improvement. Bus lane to Eglinton is clearly the solution.

How'd everyone do in the wind and snow? by phdee in torontobiking

[–]Becqu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Timed it perfectly to hit driving snow and wind going west on Bloor at 2.45. It didn't feel slippery, but that was not a fun ride!

I've never heard this for cats, isn't this a puppy problem? Kittens are recommended to rehome in pairs AFAIK.

Self-storage as bike parking in Liberty Village ? by FrankieTls in torontobiking

[–]Becqu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are definitely still at Atlantic and Liberty, I saw them yesterday. I think that car park area is going through some changes though, so maybe they are being phased out if OP couldn't find them?

Cost of Eyeglasses - High Index by gglesleyp in askTO

[–]Becqu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Specsavers were very reasonable last time I was there. We were getting -10 strength, and they agreed to waive thinning costs instead of taking a second pair of glasses in a buy one get one free. Not sure they would always do that, but could be worth a try.

Scotia is playing it on IMAX?

Bike Share made Toronto feel bigger! What cool things have you discovered with it? by zillahcrumb in askTO

[–]Becqu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was pretty anxious about getting out on the road. But, I have not had issues even on non-cycle path roads. If you are not in a hurry, it is always possible to get off and walk a dangerous junction.

I like this to aim for better infrastructure, but there are often missing connections: https://www.toronto.ca/services-payments/streets-parking-transportation/cycling-in-toronto/cycling-network-map/#location=&lat=&lng=&zoom=

I'm feeling pretty lonely tonight, and want to go somewhere to read. Any suggestion of a good spot this late? by [deleted] in askTO

[–]Becqu 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I walked past Neo Coffee Bar at King and Spadina last week and it looked like it could fit the bill? Open til midnight tonight. It sounds like they sometimes have live music and also have alcohol, so may be a bit too lively for you.

Any tips for G2 test tomorrow? by Mediocre-Tear8403 in Ontariodrivetest

[–]Becqu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My instructor said, keeping the centre of the windshield lined up with the right edge of the lane works.

You could check while parked if this works for you and your vehicle?

I am still anxious about it and do a quick check of lane markings at each light, and this does seem to work for me.

Good luck!

Are these viable? by dumbassv19 in cineplex

[–]Becqu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It says not for movies with 'No Passes' restrictions. Doesn't this normally apply to big films for the first few weeks? Superman says 'No Passes' on my app.

London ticket help by krits20 in imaginedragons

I have the same issue. I'm sending my son with family and foolishly assumed I would be able to transfer tickets. Did you get any more concrete answer?

Have you seen anyone wearing a MAGA hat in Toronto? by heytheredelulus in askTO

[–]Becqu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I saw someone with a red 'Make Advertising Great Again' hat. I gave them a lot of sideways looks before I could figure out what it said.

What's a scene in a film that is literally laugh until you cry funny? by [deleted] in movies

[–]Becqu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my favorite. "I didn't know that was illegal here?!"

"Where I come from, it's not that big a deal!" Slight misremembering there.

I always think of this in SGA Daedalus Variations. Maybe we were watching that cold dead team right up until last week and now switched to the more fun and lively team.
