He would’ve survived had he just had his seatbelt on….



I always thought Expos were cursed, fortunately no player or fan ever died, but CBJ is another level altogether, didn’t a little girl die after being struck by a puck going out of play?

The only thing the Expos ever killed were the hopes and dreams of their fans.

We’re talking about bike lanes when a drunk blasts past someone on the right on a two lane road because he thought the car in front of him was deliberately trying to block him? Gimme a break. Could it be possible to be a more entitled douchebag?

Apparently he was pissed he had to remain on jail a bit longer because of the long weekend. If true what a piece of shit. If not true, still a piece of shit
 
Gonna be hard not to cheer for Colombus this year.

I remember Voracek picking him up at the shootout contest at the all-star game. Hilarious. Seemed like a really good guy and he was one of the most creative and exciting player in the league in Calgary. RIP.

No they do a lot.. let's go cycling, we will take a busy route without bike lanes and then a busy route with a bike lane, tell me after which one you feel safe in. Side walks are elevated 6 to 8 inches above road grade for safety reasons. They do not always work but i like the percentage.

A whole bunch of hockey people donating $1000+ each.

It's tragic for sure but I've issues with wealthy people asking the everyday person for donations. No problem if it's other wealthy players but seriously? Doesn't sit well with me.

Exactly. Gaudreau's widow is already set for life. Her husband has been an NHLer for over a decade.

Just look at Kyle Broziaks brother. Hit while walking on the side walk.

People seem to think everything is absolutes. Helmets, bike lanes, education, etc all help

I actually think bikes should just be allowed on sidewalks. Bike vs a walker seems much better than bike vs car

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 .

I agree, I ride 3 to 4 times a week. My road rides are limited, too many close calls. Now it is mountain biking, great trails where I live .

Same.

When I ride on the road. I ride at night through subdivisions or old industrial parks where there are no cars.

I’m actually in the process of putting together a new mountain bike association in our area. If you’re ever in the greater Dartmouth Nova Scotia area in touch. I do a lot of adventure bike packing stuff too. On these trips, we have preplanned campsites, and our food and camping gear gets delivered ahead of us and it’s all backcountry.

I’m 52. I figure I’ve got 10 more years of good climbing in order to go downhill. I will own an E bike one day. Not yet I’ve got too much of a fucking ego for that but one day.
