      Yeah, the crackdown is dumb. I wish BCC would invest a few billion to improve infrastructure ahead of the Olympics. Wishful thinking probably.

        Indeed. Or just redirecting a fraction of the money spent on road widening projects towards basic bread-and-butter bike paths, without the need to only concentrate on the big flashy projects so much.

      Fox got blocked after that :)

      I’ve ridden with Mark Bailey before and he rides FAST. His PR for the Goodwill Bridge is 44km/h with 33 km/h average, and consistently well above 20km/h average for most of his rides. I don’t think you can wave all that away as a GPS glitch.

        Ah, I was wondering why the discourse seemed to stop after 8 comments on that activity. Still, while I side more with Fox here than I do with Mark, I do think by hiding behind a pseudonym, Fox was not doing himself any favours. It’s hard to blame Mark for blocking him given that.

          He’s also blocked on MB’s Facebook where he uses his real name. And TBF he is a bit of a troll. Although the bar for being banned by the minister is fairly low. Any kind of negative sentiment on his posts is usually hidden or outright blocked pretty quickly.
