@martinoconnor3 @ruairiscriba @RTEArena @pagep195 Interesting... I played these same three songs earlier today for the first in forever! I guess great minds think alike 😉

1. It is poor leadership in a pandemic to spend public money to shut our bike share into storage, stranding thousands, when #cycling is recommended as a safe, low-cost, & active way to move around cities during #COVID19. https://t.co/IirlnvVUqR

[Alan Bourke @AGBourke]

@shanpowerlifts @tomflood1 In January of this year, she said that 'maybe' 100 people use downtown bike-lanes for the purpose of 'begging for money'. Utter cluelessness.

@SamCraggsCBC One of the reasons I moved to Hamilton rather than commute from afar was on the promise of Sobi (and LRT). At the time, it seemed like a city with vision and ambition...

[Alan Bourke @AGBourke]

@SamCraggsCBC I've used it as a transit connection after using GO and to pop downtown for the occassional work related meeting. It's a huge loss to the city.

[Alan Bourke @AGBourke]

At a time when cities around the world are upping their game to encourage cycling as a healthy and low-cost transportation option, Hamilton votes against temporarily supporting the popular @SoBiHamilton bikeshare. What disappointing and embarrassing lack of vision and leadership.

[CBC Hamilton @CBCHamilton]

Hamilton council votes not to fund bike share program, and will store the bikes instead | CBC News https://t.co/adts2a6Wdw #HamOnt

[John-Paul Danko @JohnPaulDanko]

I am so embarrassed to be a member of #HamOnt City Council right now.

Make no mistake - the majority of Council killed @SoBiHamilton out of pure spite. They voted it down because it is important to the wrong people - they know you care about it & know it would hurt.

Shameful.
