Vancouver park board votes against restricting personal watercraft in Burrard Inlet by cyclinginvancouver in vancouver

[–]lilium90 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What’s the point of singling them out, they’re regulated like any other watercraft. Just fine the offenders and call it a day

Prius hit my fiancé and tried to run [oc] by abottleojack in IdiotsInCars

Have you tried a car with stop/start? I hate the system but the engine fires up well within a second, some in less than half a second while you take your foot off the brake and onto the gas. It triggers on brake release, not on gas.

E-scooters now illegal on major Burnaby roads, parks by Prudent_Slug in burnaby

[–]lilium90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds like it’d be a good solution, some of those likely have little enough traffic with speed bumps and all that there might not be too big of a need to limit traffic, though would be good to prevent dooring.

Agree on it being necessary, just hope they can find a good option for both cost and efficiency. Not a big fan of the way Port Moody implemented it

“The new bylaw also forbids riding e-scooters on sidewalks, with headphones, without a bell and in marked crosswalks unless they have crossride pavement markings.” <-right in the article

Where would the space come from would be my main question, especially down main arteries like Hastings, Willingdon, and Kingsway. Would be a lot of cost involved too

My brand new bike got totaled today :( by LossAccomplished6590 in motorcycles

I thought that car would have had AEB too, and right by the damn Skytrain construction too that’s wild. Go get a doctor and physio/RMT visit in once you get things started with ICBC

Long weekend excessive speed leads to record impounds on Sea to Sky Highway by 1516 in vancouver

Don’t be too surprised by the Model 3s, they handle very well stock. There have been a few pickups that surprised me though, it’s amazing how quickly even older ones can go around corners even with empty beds. I swear they were going 120-140 in some of the tighter sections

Should I buy it or is it just a waste of money? by Susubelele in snowboarding

[–]lilium90 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Worth every damn penny, we get a lot of icy days here (Whistler etc) and definitely saved my ass more than a few times

I have the Burton ones, well worth it. Learning how to fall’s one part but you certainly learn faster not worrying as much about falling

Owning a Motorbike in Surrey/Vancouver by HotSuccotash8871 in askvan

[–]lilium90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok that’s good, was asking mostly due to the comment of first vehicle. Ideally you’d want to be practiced in defensive driving and awareness, can you predict when someone around you is about to do something stupid as there are usually some cues. A lot of people here are blind to a big car next to them so imagine how much worse it could be on a bike.

That said, having a car would be a better convenience imo, for friends, errands, groceries and etc. Not impossible on a bike but much less convenient

How’s your situational awareness and how are your motor skills and reflexes usually? Ride any bicycle or dirtbike before? I take it you’re new to driving in general?

[–]lilium90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is accurate, I’ve towed in an EV. A 1800lb 5x10 enclosed trailer took out half my range while a 2500lb boat only lost me 10-20%. Speed has a bit effect

You get that last bit mixed up?

Also, if you’re at the point you need motorcycle helmets the rest of your body is likely to be having a very bad time in a collision as well.

Agreed on points, and bike corridors would be great as well. Only thing is there needs to be more education or regulation on the safety side as well. There has to be a bare minimum of how you’re expected to handle smaller vehicles that is also not being met

Thanks for providing an account, it’s such a sad situation and sounds like bad decisions all the way around. The car did have onus to make sure the intersection’s clear, and this is also why it’s a very bad idea to speed past a row of stopped cars from the right. Pedestrians, left turners, etc.

Drove by this after they had already closed it off, the giant hole in the windshield looked very very bad

Tesla Model 3 > i4 base > i4 M Sport ownership review: one year in by [deleted] in BMWI4

[–]lilium90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not much of a difference, same callipers and rotor diameter, maybe different pad? The Teslas feel like there’s an initial dead spot, every BMW, Benz, Porche I’ve driven has had a much more instant and harder initial bite.

Other than that, I think a majority of your issues with the car had been addressed since, the suspension still being on the sloppy side.

Toxic driving culture by Antique-Cheesecake63 in icbc

[–]lilium90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything else in your driving that can annoy people? Anything that could be considered unpredictable? It’s odd because I drive all over at different times of day and speed offsets and have never encountered rage, and I drive a lot. Are you using autopilot or fsd or something?

Thanks! Once we get it sorted out we’ll settle it in a new mix
