1) coloured cn tower. i don't know how long red-and-white will continue--they can do all sorts of crazy patterns. i find my shots......

There hasn't really been any new construction here for quite a while. The...... EvilGentleman: I'm willing to bet this guy takes home more money than some stockbrokers do.

K Bernstein: I lived in an apartment building at Eastern Parkway and Troy Avenue in the 1950s. Eastern Parkway was a beautiful street, with its two pedestrian malls with benches and trees.

No.1 Horse Ferry, Irlam Ferry was a cable hauled ferry,...... Cameo: The cabbies' fault no doubt... They are by far the worst drivers on the roads in this city. They are a menace to both cyclist, pedestrian and other motorists. Two days ago...... Cameo: wow... Even the cabs in NYC have the cow-catchers in front of them now.
These are obviously there to protect the car as it hits "things." But, does it also protect the driver from...... Peter: i like how the pedestrian matches the building behind her...... Chris Erb: This walking bridge claims to be the longest pedestrian-only bridge in the world. I'm skeptical however as there seems to be a culture of exaggeration around here when it comes to such things. ...... EvilGentleman: Since the original bridge's ironwork was built 120 years ago, in 1886, the C.P.R. Saint Lawrence Bridge has been used as a pedestrian walkway by the Mohawks of Kahnawake. It became somewhat easier to cross...... Peter: i was gonna mention something similar. ksedge, do you find that there are fewer people on street-level because of these pedestrian walkways? i was wondering... it seems like that might be the case, but then...... Chris Erb: Although there are currently no plans to remove bridges or to discontinue building new ones, the system has received some criticism and controversy in recent years. The system has been blamed for being a potential...... Chris Erb: This was on a pedestrian overpass just outside of downtown Fredericton at about 5am on Saturday Morning.

This bridge is...... Chris Erb: Where does the bridge take you to and from. it looks like a nice walk, we have something similar here where they turned an old train bridge into a walking bridge. There's a...... C.: But from the "Pedestrian Gridlock" thing, I can understand the problem. Same with the allergies. I live in Calgary, and it's far smaller that Montreal. I've never had a problem with moving away from the...... EvilGentleman: From what I have seen so far, I think I prefer taking pictures of the elderly as opposed to the young and beautiful.

EvilGentleman: 18 - People who deliberately try to splash pedestrians waiting at bus stops... Rodney: Biking is awesome and you don't need a hi end bike to do it. Changed my life in many ways, helped me shed excess weight and has almost become a Zen trip for me.
Pity riders...... the new guy: I just moved to Toronto this past fall. I have lived in Vancouver, a small college town in the U.S. midwest (Iowa City, IA) and most recently, Edmonton. Having only ever visited Toronto...... James: The move he made to dump her bike, the foot against wheel and pull on seat is a move taught to cops, so I doubt if he was charged for anything. Why did he...... pedestrian pal: Rather than go on and on about cyclist versus motorist lets consider this. People who litter are pigs, people who seek out confrontations like this are fools or worse yet, holier than thou. ...... Old Kensington Dog: A couple of points re. the confrontation specifically, and Kensington Market in general:
-The SUV in the photos is owned by the business accross the street, not the "Motorist". His four cylinder smaller car with...... commonsense11: Obvious that this site is drop-in for bike courier trash, jusdging by sympathy for "Leah" (I've met her too, meth-head cranky bitch that she is) Hope her bike is fucked but good, that'll teach her...... Respect: Let's make a deal:
You litter, I throw it back at you. If you park in the bike lane, I smash out your rear brake lights and key your car as I fly by.
You cut me...... so right about some drivers: To the person who wrote:
"the most entitled drivers (excluding cabbies and anything oversized) are luxury sedan drivers. It is no surprise that motorist was driving an Acura."

anyways, GOOD ON YA, LEAH! i've done the same (i.e. return...... Both sides: I have read/heard both side of the story.

To the courier: It was fucking trash, hopefully you didn't get hurt. Some of the pics show you...... jonnathan: This is a bit off topic, but it addresses the problems of cyclists vs motorists in toronto. I am both and find cyclists are far worse on the road than drivers. I was sitting...... Cedar Waxwing: I think they are both idiots and need anger management help.
I don't condone the motorists actions but I don't think Leah's actions were warranted either. I figure I would be mighty pissed if someone...... Fat ass: Wow. Go motorist.
I'm not a motorist, but that cunt of a cyclist was out-of-line. She invaded his car over a fucking piece of litter in TORONTO of all places. Boo fucking hoo.
She deserved...... anon (toronto-HSE-ppp4056517.sympatico.ca): I read every post from beginning to end. It wasn’t a very productive day at work…
Some people made me laugh others pissed me off and a lot made me think.
This is an example where you......

Simon: Leah, you did what I think alot of us would love to do. It drives me nuts seeing people throwing their garbage out the window. They might as well walk into my house and dump...... BigHungryAntelope: I am torn on this:
On one hand, there is no excuse for her picking fights with people. People need to chill out and live and let live and stop acting like Pat Roberson! A...... Fritz: I don't get it. How do you know the guy is a motorist and not a pedestrian? You ever see that episode of STar Trek TNG, where the Romulans are on board, but kinda frozen...... ilifer: n the picture it looks like he's about to do the Roach Stomp dance on her bike.
What an unfortunate series of events. And I was considering being a courier myself. ;o)

What an unfortunate series of events. And I was considering being a courier myself. ;o)
I often feel like doing...... Jamie: I like to imagine tourists (and in my little daydream these tourists are naively american) blindly following the pedestrian signs that lead out of the city centre towards this place. Leftovers of a time, sometime...... Melissa: Need info on Pedestrian Beach, Surfside, Texas.
Thanks.... Colin: I'm not sure that the civicheraldry.co.uk web site is correct to say that the device is known as the Southwark Cross or even that it symbolises the London Borough of Southwark, without further corroborative evidence....... Peter: as both a cyclist and a pedestrian, i can certainly empathize with your thoughts about the flip/flop double-standard. cyclists who treat peds no better than autos treat cyclists are no better than the auto drivers...... Gaz: Right in the centre of my town there's these pedestrian underpasses that go under a busy roundabout. The city council have used the usual kiddie mural tactics and sure enough no one gone over it....... Jamie: The same {pedestrian} crossing, {at night}
[[img:1870]]... fuzzytank: the other interesting thing about where that shot is taken,
the pedestrian bridge squeezes through the concrete structure to get people over to and from downtown. the clear area between footpath and highway above is...... Mike: I have some recent pictures and I think some smaller ones in the winter of highway, pedestrian, and railroad bridges across the Bronx River in Bronx Park. Interested?... Jamie: If you were to stand at the vantage point of the first photo today and turn to your right, you would see Starbucks. Turn to your left, and it's McDonalds. The street with the tramway...... Jamie: No one said Parkour was a Martial Art. The article states that Parkour is more ##akin## to dance and martial arts than it is a sport. Which is true. As i understand it, Le Parkour......
