I talk a lot about active transportation | infrastructure | efficiency | personal finance | tech reviews.
I'm a digital content creator and marketer who focuses on biking, infrastructure, and urban planning.
I live in London, Canada (you might know it as #fakelondon because of @notjustbikes). Based in London, Ontario, I use my platform to advocate for safer bicycle infrastructure and sustainable transportation solutions.
This channel features a variety of content related to biking, including reviews, how-to guides, and discussions on urban planning and policy.
I'm known for my hands-on approach to infrastructure issues, often attending city council meetings and engaging directly with local government decisions that affect EVERYONE.
I emphasize the importance of incremental improvements in infrastructure and the need for practical, immediate solutions over perfect, long-term plans.

One Bagging It: The BEST Vacation Hack!
Cool for people who live work and have there wholenlike in a city. For everyone else we need a car
I ride my bike almost everyday and see over and over again poor Cyclist not obeying the road rules. So Cyclist learn the road rules first then start complaining about car drivers when they were there first.
Saw someone driving around London in a kei truck yesterday. Such an amazing little vehicle, wish they were readily available here.
Sorry But the amount of money that lonfon has spent of bike paths Marking rds more narrow Taking away parking And in my opinion Marking downtown More dangerous to drive on I avoid downtown all together if I can And I'm not the only one
Common Sense tells me not to bike on places with a small shoulder or with cars going over 35 mph. Common Sense also tells me if I do bike in the road I need to use turn signals because I'm acting like a car. A majority of bikers seem to not care for these two simple rules and it leads to their downfall. It doesn't bother me it only bothers me when someone doing the right thing gets punished. And often the bikers are in the wrong
So you support bikes lanes?
"Inclusive" why don't you include yourself in the car ownership club? Bicycles are a nuisance and a liability to cars.
tell me you're ignorant without telling me you're ignorant 😂
Oooooof. You should be embarrassed. Not everyone can or wants to drive. For SO many reasons. It's not hard to find the reasons... But even you couldn't drive on public roads for at least 16 years.
@@church607 I just know the people hate cyclists.
@@BenDurham Yeah, so I rode my bike on the sidewalk... where a fucking bicycle belongs.
@@TheWinstonDoubleliterally illegal to bike on a sidewalk
😢😢😢
lol no one cares what you think
Your a male Karen bud
Lmfao its a honda Ridgeline... The mini cooper of trucks.
What’s the actual percentage of the population that uses them? That’s all that matters. If it is only 10% there is no reason to ruin it for the 90%. Just ride your bike on the track, car guys can’t take their toy out on the street. So why should you. Bikes are just toys.
People in my city call bike lanes a free turning lane
Buddy sounds misserable.
Whiny Ben being annoyed again.
all the kids in the bus: BORING!
I miss her. May she rest in peace.
People use cars because they are safer more convenient for carrying goods and driving in general. If you really hate your life there are other ways to dealing with this you know. Psychiatrist might help you. But bothering everyone arround you is not the solution.
We don't need better bike infrastructure, we just need to reduce the amount of cars!
If you increase the amount of bicycle infrastructure, you do reduce the amount of vehicles on the road. Induced demand works both ways.
have biked in dt london for years and have never had an issue with cars. If anhthing i have more issues with other bikers who just fly past you as you’re waiting at a red light. Entitled bikers like them ruin it for everyone and are the reason literally no one likes bikers/cyclists.
There's a fcuking sidewalk... how dumb are you???
The bike lane should stay to the right of the right hand turn lane It’s happened at least twice where I’m making a right hand turn at the light. I left to make sure there’s no cars or people coming then I look right the direction I’m going and proceeded, and someone comes flying up the bike lane and turns directly in front of my vehicle. Bike lane along the side of the turn lane Are they really worried that they’re not gonna be able to just zoom straight through the light? I’d rather have them in my field when I go to forward then cut in front of me at the last second and the only reason why they’re not a splatter on the side of the road was my reaction speed
Hey be nice to truck owners! Those “huge loads” they’re carrying are their oversized egos which cannot fit in normal sized cars!
Is this a message from Big Bike? I’m not buying it buddy
Ah, the infamous Mixing Zone Of Death. Lovely.
I'm pretty sure some of these drivers are so in love with their cars they like to just sit inside their garage with the car running and the door closed for extended periods, really becoming one with their cars, while the carbon monoxide does away with their brain cells
its a Kia bro..........holy shit are you soft
all you do is complain,ride your bike on the sidewalk,yeild to walkers always say ty when they slide to the side for you to pass. Bike lanes are a major hazard and stupid idea . Enjoy your soy milk lefty.
In Florida, people think they are turn lanes.
Then fucking get a car won’t be as loud 😂😂😂 or grow a pair of balls
If you're not afraid of being hit by a driver, you're too stupid to be trusted to bicycle on a public road.
"hard earned taxes" is such an oxymoron.
It's the crack users that give a bad name too bicyclists unfortunately.
2nd street the worst
Bikes are too slow for roads, use a car
What are these bike lanes for then? We also have a car but why would we use it when most of our trips can be done by bike?
There a double or triple train track somewhere in the east end, and i was trying to make it to a store before it closed and had to wait for all trains to pass one at a time
I have a trailer and agree a trailer and small suv that can pull at least 3500lbs is the way to go unless uou need to tow more. Then you need a truck.
I’m 50/50 with this lol , there’s asshole cyclists who run red lights stop signs etc but there’s also asshole drivers 😂😂
any one that says differently are the ones that would have gotten it stuck ... turn looked fuckin mint to me
Fake electric bike. Anyone can ride it.
More people riding is great!

What brand of pinhead bolts are those? I need to swap a bunch out and those look great!
Watching this in my 7 seater in a costco parking lot 😂. Sorry but unless urban planners are actually allowed to do their jobs we will never have this. Also shouldve knocked that dudes mirror off. What r they gonna do, run your plates? 💀
Good luck with that transmission.
Vegan lady at it again 💀
Our project over the next couple weeks is constructing a way to hold my 5 year old's bike on my Urban Arrow for when we're in places safe enough for him to ride. My husband has carried his full set of bowling gear in his bike, even in snow storms. That's his favorite riding because people look at him like he's absolutely insane.
a bicycles is more pragmatic than a motorcycle because you can ride it year round except for a few extreme weather days. ask any motorcyclists why they ride and they will tell you it makes them "feel good", it embodies freedom. i tell you bicycles gives you the same feeling, similar freedom and more practicality than a motorcycle.
Yes but motorcycles are faster and go vrom💨
@@teddydahlqvist9182, no denying that. although a race bike can reach excess of 60kph. I make my own vroom sounds. :-)
I’m confused why you can’t use a motorcycle in most weather? (I used a motorcycle for 7 years as my main transport)
not even close to correct…. I carry $150 worth of groceries on my motorcycle…. I can also go a hell of a lot further and if you drive responsibly, they are far safer… people don’t have a vendetta against motorcycles like they do bicycles. That being said there’s nothing better than a city with good bike trails that are off the main streets cut through the bush.
@@NicolaosSoldal , depending on where you are located. here in Canada you won't see motorcycles in winter because of ice. although there are exceptions.
"Suicide lanes." "I dont like my wife route".
First thumbs down :)
Why so?
Well, without explanation that's a thumbs down for you.
@@Rpend it's just a couple humans playing with each others yo-yos. Single file not in a pile Ben
@@chrisrmstrng why you mad?
You must be jealous
The problem is a bike lane usually was a regular right turn lane before they changed it. And it’s issueless in 80% of the cities that have it. It’s basically for downtown millennials and homeless
And the fact that people can turn right on red thas a hazard for everyone
