I wouldn't feel comfortable riding that thing at 50 km/h. The geometry just isn't ideal for those speeds. Not that those speeds are remotely legal where I live, LOL.

Make no mistake. I understand exactly the game they are playing.
I would NOT sign a petition like this, even if I agree with most of it.
Because I completely understand that the true motive is to remove flags that support marginalised groups in our country.
But you are correct that they idea of including reasonable points, is exactly to attract reasonable people or to legitimise the rest of it.
I tend to only run mapping/navigation software offline, and this type of poor performance has only been noticeable on OSMAnd.
It's nowhere near as bad as it once was, but it's still not great.
I don’t like that google selectively chooses to show certain businesses over others.
100% paid placements. I started looking for an alternative to Google Maps once they started putting POIs disguised as ads.
That is annoying.
Even though I use an offline layer, the online is actually faster to render. It's like the cache system is broken, even though it clearly works when the device is in airplane mode.
However, I will admit that OSMAnd is the least performant of the map apps that use OSM data (or any other map/navigation app, really).
our police barracades have the names of banks on them. Its advertising revenue, but to me it looks like “the police are brought to you by…”
Oh god. Like a sports team? LOL
FFFUUUUUUCCCCCKKKKK YYYYYYEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHH!!! That's an incredible pace she was able to hold.
Lael is such a cool and genuine person. I'm so happy for her.
I wonder if it's a cache/internet issue. Yes, zooming to extreme levels causes some delay. But scrolling through a map zoomed at a reasonable level should catch up very quickly on both offline and online map layers. At least, it does for me, and my phone is like 4+ years old.
Just tried it, and it's unbearable on my device. It may also depend on what map layer(s) you're using, and the device capabilities.
V1 was the previous render engine, when pretty much everyone complained that it was too sluggish. LOL
there should be no decorations on municipal crosswalks
You could make an argument that crosswalks should be painted a standard colour with expected markings, since it's a safety/accessibility issue that that point.
or displaying of flags supporting political, social, or religious movements or commercial entities
The people who put the package together lumped everything into the same category.
Sure, we should NOT have religious flags on our government buildings. By that token, we should remove any and all religion from those buildings and any texts, too. No mention of God, especially.
Commercial entities? Yeah, they don't belong on government flag poles.
Political? I'd need an example. I would not want to see the flag of various parties on a government building. That's just inappropriate.
But social movements? They stay. I WANT my local, provincial, and federal governments to show support for marginalized groups. That includes our LGBTQ, indigenous, disabled, visible minorities, etc.
I'm proud to see our local fire and police vehicles with rainbow flag stickers on them.
Separate the hate from the reasonable, and this petition might not seem so ass backwards.
I'm not sure if the thoughtful trucker has used a typical light designed for bikes, but they cast light in a much wider area than directly in front of them, and are considerably smaller/less expensive than this proposed design.
That said, this won't solve the "I didn't see you" problem, since it's rarely the fault of the cyclist when a driver is on their phone, fallen asleep, is under the influence, or sucks at driving. 🤷♂️
Also, "identical" has a different meaning here.
There's a special place in hell for the monster who dreamed up this captcha!

Who is this designed for? Pro racers? Ordinary cyclists?
For me, taking up that much room up front means that I can't run a handlebar bag or front basket. That alone is a dealbreaker.
A regular bike light and high mounted camera work just fine for me. And it doesn't interfere with anything else I have on the bike.
