Removing bike lanes truly is a move

Two things:

First, cyclists should start wearing large chains and locks which can be tossed at aggressive / careless drivers. Similar to how pedestrians occasionally carry (usually foam) bricks to motivate the correct behaviour from drivers.

Second, they need to bring this protest to Thug Ford's riding -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etobicoke_North_(provincial_electoral_district) Make his constitents miserable, and you might see a change faster than any other method.

I used to do this and almost got killed for it. It’s all fun and games until you meet a driver who exceeds your crazy.

Giving the carbrains a taste of their own medicine.

Why does this video look so odd? Is it the frame rate?

I think its the best quality video i have seen here, would like to know more info on the phone and format. Because of 8mp 3027x2740 compresion I think its an iphone 14 or newer. Might the video look strange because of the high frame rate?

I've seen 360 videos that you can manually pan in the app and then export to a normal frame size.

I'm no expert, but this has a similar feel to those.

probably the high framerate and stabilization, it makes it look.. hyperreal i'd say

a lot of stuff is still 24 fps, especially 2d animations, and lots of gameplay will be 30fps because consoles are still shit.
