Cycling in Waterloo Region

[danbrotherston]

What? What are you even mad about?

Some fictitious procurement process and government grift? Bring receipts or you look like a raving conspiracy theorist.

That it's professionally made? Weren't you complaining just days ago about the modern world cheaping out on quality construction, an unwillingness to spend money on nice things, and a lack of civic and craftsman pride?

Or just upset that it exists for some reason? I guess your beloved Berlin must be wrong, along with every other city in the world with a modicum of respect for cyclists.

Poster ac3r is a strange combination of valuable and interesting contributor and troll. They sometimes provide an interesting and expert perspective, but other times say weird nonsense and then refuse to answer even the most basic questions about what they’ve said. If they’re actually right about some of what I’m calling weird nonsense we’ll never know.

Also, to say at least something truly on topic, if those stands cost $5000 to study plus $500 all-in they don’t really cost that much compared to everything else that is part of the street. You don’t just pick up street components at Home Depot.

Indeed, and indeed. I ordered bike racks for our condo building and they weren't cheap even for the most basic of rack. The power of mass production and the free market..it does some things very well.
