I always have a can in my car,used it a few times too on some crackheads and wannabe gangsters. | Or even try having your windsheild sprayers reversed.

Remember the Corrigans (wife and husband) are in the same camp as Mayor Hippy Fruit Juice of Vancouver.. obviously they are trying to curry points in case they want to make a run for higher positions in the NDP.

Reading that post about how the city of Vancouver is trying to discourage driving makes me think back to another post I made in another bike lane thread. They're trying to radically alter the city's infrastructure by forcing this issue, which won't fucking work. Europe did it right because they built AROUND having bikes in their cities, making everything work efficiently. Do they want to disrupt movement of goods shipped throughout the city? Can't exactly deliver a large shipment of store merchandise on a bike.
Fucking hippies.

More traffic jam and accidents because of bike routes. We had to pay for our vehicle insurance why shouldn't bike too. C'mon they are sharing the roads .
EDIT: Not trying to go against it. Just want to speak up.

Nobody's going to slow down simply because someone arbitrarily sticks a sign on the road with a number. I know I sure has hell don't go 50km/h on major roads.
Vision Vancouver is toast come next election. I know it's off topic, but the "no R turn onto Hornby" they just put in all through DT has basically doubled congestion. Now traffic on Smithe gets backed up onto Cambie Bridge, on WEEKENDS!  | |

If a red light camera caught a cyclist, who would they go after? Lame...

All this bike lane crap downtown and trying to make it more inconvenient for vehicle traffic everywhere is not making me think twice about taking transit or cycling, in fact it has only strengthened my resolve to drive everywhere and fuel my anger towards cyclist even more.
I've noticed that since the bike lanes first went in, my patience and common courtesy to cyclist has totally disappeared and pretty much everyone I know feels the same way too.

So at the next intersection she comes out of nowhere and stops in front of my car. I get out my car and say what the fuck are you doing bitch. She and her boyfriend were like "well that was kind of unnecessary you tried to run us over". At this point I'm just like are you fucking kidding me... then I tell them to move you're blocking traffic. Then I drove my car forward a bit and crushed her leg between her bike and my bumper because she refused to move. She started screaming and punching my cars bumper/hood. Then some guy in a Porsche behind me tells her to move also because she was blocking traffic. While this whole thing was going down, I was revving my engine and honking at her trying to get her to move, and me being pissed off I was just about to run the bitch over. She was also on the phone with the police saying I'm trying to run her over and shit, actually was pretty funny. So finally she moved and then I laid a big burnout in her face. FUCK I HATE HIPPIES. Lucky for her she was a woman, if it was a guy I'd probably murder him in the street.
the temptation was so strong to run her over... but I wasn't gonna let some 35yo welfare hippie lady trying to cause drama get to me.  | | |

the main problem with Vancouver is the roads everywhere are too damned narrow. Buses barely fit in the lanes.
Why is this?

Vancouver's roads r simply not designed for today's traffic volume.
And work nowadays is all about networking instead of competency. People who get these decision making positions based on who they know, not what they can do. It's no surprise that everything is a mess.

bull fucking shit.
you can't force people to ride on bikes when the lower mainland is such a geographically large area. city hall needs to get this into their heads
and yes, half of city hall does bike to work. Most likely because they live 10 minutes away from there.
and yes we need better public transit. skytrains and buses shut down before the clubs do? cmon city hall

Cant get any worst than this. Have to bike to club due to no transit at that time. I'd rather stay home.
