Re: Granville, the new East Hastings. Not sure how long youve lived in Vancouver (apparently not very long), but the Granville track from Georgia to Smithe has been trash since I was a kid. Also, its trash from Pender to Drake so get your facts right if youre going to bitch about the best city in the world. If you dont like it go back East and freeze to death in the dark.

In response to Anonymous rant against the blinking lights on bikes, I initially liked the rant as it showed that people who arent cycling dont like them either. People who cycle dont want to have those blinky lights; its what were told to have. Dont blame us. We would prefer to have steady lights. (In north Europe blinking bike lights are not allowed.) The rant then leads into just more cyclist-bashing which nobody needs and everybodys tired of, and then brings up that entitlement myth thats recently appeared. Who started that myth and what are their motives?

So, in the interest of public safety (and an effort to cut down on road rage) Im giving a primer on how to handle a roundabout when driving. These steps are very complicated, so you might want to cut this out and tape it to your dashboard. Yield to a vehicle already in the roundabout to your immediate left, then proceed, entering to the right and travelling counterclockwise until you reach your exit. I can see how this could cause people to come to a dead stop, and become extremely confused, when approaching a roundabout and hope that this message on my part can help the seemingly hundreds of West End drivers who are afflicted daily.
