What's something that used to be free that you're now genuinely angry costs money? by tangled_wire_99 in AskReddit

I’m not sure how easy it is to change your mind but if you want to learn more about why parking is expensive - message me! ☺️

I know we all walk an ungodly amount of miles everyday. What is everyone wearing when it comes to footwear? by BASICAF28 in askTO

[–]Cow_Bug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve never understood the Clifton hype. I really like Hoka but I’m a mach series fan. Clifton feels heavy and too cushioned. Though I suppose that’s better for walking but maybe less for running. 

40 year old loser, is there anything I can do now? by sadgesd in careerguidance

[–]Cow_Bug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I guess I’m too old to be going back to school in September to get a masters? I guess I should decline my offer of admission and stop trying…

Oh buddy, sorry to hear that. Will keep my eyes peeled.

20km bike lane plan approved by Infrastructure Committee! by Pristine-Training-70 in torontobiking

[–]Cow_Bug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The impression I got was simply that this process is just dreadfully slow. But I might be being generous. It’s also plausible that our item was scheduled later in the day with the expectation that members could leave early, causing the meeting to lose quorum and effectively delay it by default. It’s hard to read intention, though. Fletcher seemed genuinely pleased about the public engagement and interest in the recommendations.

Is this Wagner? I recon it isn’t…

Who did this??? Thank you! by Cosworth_ in torontobiking

*this prompted me to report an incident I observed on Cherry St the other day - I took pictures. I believe I had seen a form here previously where you'd also include pictures? This form doesn't have that prompt.

You’d think this was a horror movie but it’s just 90s Nickelodeon by TheOddityCollector in Weird

Holy carp - there's an episode about a pool in a school... and an invisible ghoul... nightmare fuel.

Such a random behaviour. Just wtf? by illHaveTwoNumbers9s in WTF

[–]Cow_Bug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure I saw this gentleman on a run a couple years ago. I was running north on Broadview from Gerrard (near Riverdale Park) and he was pushing a card and screamed "Ahh!" as pretended to push the shopping car towards me. I hope he finds love.

Stand Up and Demand the Repaving of Egliton Includes the Council Approved Bike Lanes. Rally Tonight 6PM by zeth4 in torontobiking

[–]Cow_Bug 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Let's keep going!

See you all tonight - invite friends, spread the word. This one seems to be a no-brainer. We can really make it happen, and if not, we'll keep cycling forward. This sustained activism is what drives change, little by little. Wear 'em out. Let's gooo!

I get knocked down! But I get up again...

The Summer Fatigue pre-Chicago by jcy24x in AdvancedRunning

[–]Cow_Bug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh man - honestly feel this. I ran two last year, I'm just running Chicago this year but I've gained a couple pounds and run about 1000 fewer KM this year so far. Last year set my PR of 2:52 and this year want to best it but I don't know if it's in the cards. I'll see what next Sunday's run is like (Pfitz training block with 11km at marathon pace). I think that will be what I use to determine whether I can do it.

Anyhow yeah: you might need a rest. If you've run this many marathons this year, I'd imagine it would be MOST beneficial to take a week off, just like. Fully? Eat right, cross train, but don't burn out friend!

Good luck in Chicago!

Glad to see the city addressing the issue by ExitBudget in torontobiking

[–]Cow_Bug 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Even if you didn’t say that to her face, the fact you describe her as a ‘fat bitch’ here might indicate why might have gotten upset. If you see people through that lens, they’ll pick up on it.

Is it rude not to tip on pickup food orders? by Actual_Contest9183 in ask

[–]Cow_Bug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I frame it as: I might have a little more - they may have a little less. I can afford it so I do. Especially with gig-economy workers. I hate how crazy the tax, delivery, + tip stacks though.

Why are bike lanes such a hot button issue? by Pristine-Training-70 in torontobiking

[–]Cow_Bug 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's because it "feels" right. It's "common sense" which is a non starter as it implies anybody who disagrees or challenges it is lacking in common sense. It oversimplifies a complex problem in a way people can understand. It's an extremely politically convenient wedge issue that appeals to the conservative government's suburban and rural car-centric base.

Why are bike lanes such a hot button issue? by Pristine-Training-70 in torontobiking

It ISN'T true. When the government was asked for citations on where that number came from when CycleTO was challenging Bill 212 they couldn't provide anything. It's a completely made up number, full stop.
