I love how folks leave comments these days. They flex or double flex about their own lives and then leave a compliment about someone else. Not B4 they have self reflected about their own lives and accomplishments. WA AHA AHA AAH A.

@@ExtremePainGames right lol like what do they expect us to do, praise them and comment how cool they are or something? lol I never understood it either 😆

@@CerealKiller669 Hey Kitty right on babe. I left a comment yesterday was even funnier. I forget the video I could find it if I was hard pressed, it was another storm video - snow storm but entire comment section below video read Im 73 and Im 61 and Im 55 and back in the 70s and 80s snow storms were real snow storms and bla bla bla. And they went on and on and on each comment slightly similar to another old grandad or granny out there reflecting on how snow fell out the sky 50 years ago. So of course me at my best I gave them an earful. They were going on about how this weeks storms aint got a look in. I said to them hey listen was this weeks storm supposed to make a phone call into the past go back in time hoping a 1970s storm picks up the phone answering with " Hi Storm Anita here " How may I help you. Yes Anita hello , this is snow storm Thomas here from the year 2022. Im in belief Anita that Im pretty bada$$$ Im gonna shut down power for tens of thousands schools and work will stop for many. A few lives will be reported as lost due to my cold bite. Oh Anita replies you sounds pretty horrific. Yeah Thomas responds yeah but my worry is after I shred a city or two Im worried my conscience fears that old men and women age 62-83 will type into KZfaq section saying I'm nothing and that the likes of you being a 1970s storm was is and will remain the real deal. Should I head home to my bed Anita or make my way into cavillation and create havoc ? ROTFL 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The world needs more people that are willing to walk or ride etc when the weather is nice. Owning a vehicle is fine and helpful but it's abused in a sense and people who are driving seem to look down on people who don't.

no one has ever said those words

Here's a few comments from a Rebel News article they posted to their KZfaq channel: "Bike lanes in a city where nobody rides their bike for 6 months because there's 6 feet of snow. Genius spending" (133 upvotes on that one) "Investing that much money in something that you can only realistically use for only 5 months of the year is ridiculous. Edmonton is one cold city!" (33 upvotes) "Well the weather being what it is this week, it's perfect to take the family out for a bike ride from one end of the city to the other" (36 upvotes) "Love all the laughs I'm getting lately 😂 enjoy your 4 months a year of usable bike lanes Edmonton 😂😂😂" "100 million on something that [sic] at best seasonal?" (16 upvotes) There's plenty more, but you get the idea.

It's -31 and snowing today in calgary. I'll be riding my fixed gear bike all day.

@@purelyfixedyyc4039 Do they plow the bike lanes / infrastructure at all there, or are you braving the street with the cars?

@@s3tione the separated cycle tracks downtown get plowed with priority, we have over a thousand kilometers of M.U.P.s as well, all of our side streets are ice rinks but nothing studded tires can't handle. I normally ride with traffic.❄🚲💙

In the winter?😕

I have to rewatch this now. :)

Where I live, they intentionally redo the roads, to slow car traffic down as much as possible... which is the only way to make a bicycle faster than a car. I mean, they're turning 4 lane road shortcuts across town into 2 lane roads (one in each direction) limited to slow speeds. They INTENTIONALLY slow down every shortcut and don't add more lanes to freeways. All to make people spend more of their day sitting in traffic, and getting worse and worse MPG. It's moronic.

@@hxhdfjifzirstc894 Where I life the cars slow themselves down because there are so many. And there is not enough space to build 'just one more lane'.

@@popup1959 Haha. Okay. Great. I learned about it in 2020

Great Idea! But, are Bus Drivers Trained for Plowing Techniques? Like lifting the Blade, for certain situations? Like Elevated Manhole Covers, Passing Bus Shelters, etc?

sounds like winter bus driving need training then.

Sure, if the busses actually ran when this city has a snowfall that would be a great idea!

I think he also has it so wide because it isn’t just to clear it for his bike, but wide enough for walking too.

@@AnAceism That is why it needs a spring loaded trip edge like a full size plow for a truck

@@Slurptacular64 That could be. The wider the plow the more battery energy it takes to push the snow so his runtime would be shorter. It is a very neat design though

Grow up and buy a car you 🌈🌈

I bike to work in Vancouver and can confirm the car lanes aren’t plowed either haha

Apparently, that's YOUR job, not the governments.

It's gets fun when it gets footprints/tyre tracks in it, melts a bit, then re-freezes overnight, so you end up with a sheet of lumpy-bumpy ice, trying to swipe your front wheel away. I've found a step-through frame great in the snow, it's much easier to get a foot down when you start to slide.

nothing is the governments job only war and if you wanted to allocate your money to separate entity that doesn't show receipts on money spent or given to themselves. taxes only for bare minimum national defense every man woman must be armed. watch the world improve. stop giving power to people who don't have to take responsibility for their decisions

Definitely not as well. I shovel a lot of snow.

I think that this may be a “Vancouver only” solution as pretty much anywhere else in Canada get considerably more snow per episode than that!

A little off topic, but I thought you might get a chuckle... Just out of curiosity, I hit the always reliable Google "Translate to English" option. It came up, "Well done cheese". 👍

Better, a Contract from the City, and a Grant to start Building them, for Cities to use! 👍

This guy deserves to be caught for patent infringement

those don't mean anything these days.

Really? This is where we are?

@@purelyfixedyyc4039 whose patent?

Your local municipal government is already out working OT running snow plows, graders, backhoes deicer trucks, gravel trucks etc etc sorry they can't get your bike lane cleared 🙄🤣

Never rely on the government for anything. You'll only end up disappointed.

@@mr.monitor. Maybe if cities were better designed, -we- they wouldn't have literally thousands of miles of road to plow all at once 🤔 edit: changed "we" to "they"

@Daniel “Ban Cars” Fuller ya like if maybe the continent was smaller? 🤣

They plow bike lanes out in Denmark, with small plows. The state does. So it sure as ----- can be done.

I was thinking the same. I suppose traction would be somewhat improved by the removal of the snow.

I'm sending a question to Quirks and Quarks.

Pretty sure you can get snow tires for bikes. We see a lot of cyclists in winter in Whistler, tires are fat and most have different tires than they use in summer. Electric bikes are the norm for winter riding, but not always. Moving at a good pace, but trails get plowed here, probably a lot better than highways in the Lower Mainland. Whistler could have sent a few plows to the city - we've had virtually no snow while they've been getting slammed

I've always thought the same with railroad snow plows. I think it must be similar, in that once you've got going, the bike's momentum carries it through the 'snowdrifts'. Clearly there will be a maximum depth of snow this will cope with, but it seems to work sell clearing quite a few inches of snow. There must be a noticeable increase in 'rolling' resistance!

@@jaygray7102 Does Whistler use dedicated sidewalk tractor plows aka "snow throwers"?

It's the contractors that we use, unfortunately. Either they're under-staffed or their equipment is broken. That contractor works better out in the Kootenays (where we get real snow.)

People trying to defend the government are hilarious. They don't seem to understand the insane amount of money that's taken from people against their will and the pathetic amount of services you get back. It's like a mobster shaking down a deli every month for thousands and offering them back a sandwich like it's doing them a favor.

@@jamesofallthings3684 Maybe services would be better if density wasn't illegal in most places 🤔

Boy that is sad to read ! I pray God heals you.

@@qaz3000 Not to kill the prayer vibe - but I think it’s more practical in the immediate future to provide this guy with ice tires and clear ramps

@@Humulator ... and that's your entire argument?

@@gruntlyg3156 bikes are safer than cars, argue with that

@Gruntly G I agree wholeheartedly. Everything about this says accident waiting to happen. Hit a heaved sidewalk crack, an ice patch, a drift, any number of things. Basically it's going to work well in these ideal conditions, but be sketchy as all hell in almost every other.

@@DakotaTrucker dont forget putting a less experienced cyclist on the road during the winter months .. things happen. Sliding cars, sliding bikes .. some of the situations you listed.
