A bike going at a good clip can do serious damage to a walker. I would think that death would be on lesser percentage in comparison to motor vehicle to bike. We need bike lanes. Since Covid there has been a big surge in e-bikes, e-scooters (still growing fast) and it's amazing. I love seeing it. People who would never get on a bike are now doing so. I did a ride up to the tunnel which is all up hill and about 35 km cycle up from my place. When i got to the tunnel there was an old fellow that was just standing there in awe of the view (180 degree of Okanagan Lake). I started chatting to him and he was 84 years old and it was the first time he was up there.. 84 years! He rode his e-bike from Wiltse which is about 30 km up.. e-bikes / e- scooters are exploding and as the prices come down more will be buy. We need bike lanes. Be active, be healthy .

Good call on E bikes and E scooters.

It will take time to build up bike lanes but in areas where there is no bike lane. Let them on the side walk.

Awesome, brother. After doing some record searches on my last name, I think my ancestors were from Heraklion! Thus nudging me in that direction vs other parts of Greece.

Greece, overall better lifestyle than here by a longshot, IMO. Healthy food, great weather, people, laid back life, and SAFE. The Okanagan, tho beautiful, has become a cesspool of crime, unfortunately.

Close to Corfu? Spent a couple weeks there many moons ago. Was awesome. We thought all our ancestors were from northern Greece, that is where my dads family is from. But the records I found showed more likely origins from Crete. As is our last name, ending in "akis".

Cefalonia
 
CBJ is now significantly below the cap floor. I wonder if Bettman will give them some sort of exemption until next season due to the circumstances.
