  • If it was standard time during the summer months, Montreal sunrise would be 4:05AM and sunset at 7:45PM in June.

    If Montreal remained in DST year round, sunrise would be at 8:30AM and set at 5:15PM in December.

    If we remained on standard time, we’d have sunrise at 4:35AM and sunset at 8PM in Toronto.

    If we had DST year round, sunrise would be 8:45AM and sunset would be at 5:40PM in Toronto.

    I think Standard time sucks in the summer. And while I’d love to have more sunlight in the afternoon in the winter, I recognize that having sunrise only by 8:30-8:45AM is detrimental.











  • 32kmph is not absurdly slow for assisted ebikes. Bozos without helmets riding the blue bixis in Montreal can be dangerous.

    Additionally a lot of non-e-bixies are imported from the US, or god knows where, that seem to have no cap and do not even need pedal assist. Just pull the grip on the handlebar and you accelerate. In Europe we call those e-mopeds. But for some reason here it’s an ebike.

    Edit: to add, I agree. Cars should definitely have caps based on jurisdiction. But I assume it will be bypassed just like other things, and this guy would probably have been among the ones to get their hands on one of those vehicles anyway.
