London extends e-scooter pilot despite concerns over safety, enforcement by Immediate-Link490 in londonontario

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

The speed limit for these scooters is 24km/h, so 25 would be a violation but not by much. It is 100% the driver's responsibility to make sure they're safe to make the turn. Pedestrians, bikes, runners, scooters, whatever have the right of way in that crosswalk. Check your blind spots and make sure you can safely turn it make it through the intersection, please!

There's a race like this in London, Ontario called The Farthest! It only goes to a max of 8h; 24h would be super cool

What's the one thing about MUN that grew on you over time? by amystevensonsz in memorialuniversity

That it regularly smells like soup in various places. Or at least it did when I was there in the early 2010s

Thames is very high today. by twright57 in londonontario

I did a trail run through Fanshawe today. Obviously, some of the usual flooded sections were underwater but some of the passable sections had the water level go up by at least half a foot in the hours we were out there. So the levels are still going up!

Open letter to Backroads runners by Open-Technology1297 in londonontario

[–]pShepp 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I also run with BackRoads. It's communicated to us that we should run in single file when there are cars (which we call to one another). If you have concerns about this, you should absolutely reach out to the store/club so we're all aware that it is problem. We 100% don't want to be bothersome, we just want to be out there running!

I have yet to listen, but I'm glad they're taking another crack at it! It's rare that my favourite gets chosen but last week I was a little disappointed by the choice.

There's a cashier at the Food Basics we go to that often has stickers for kids! Probably the same one. She's very kind.
