Some of those have better roads than Manitoba.

[@KayJay940]

If you want better roads just come soe d a week in BC. I guarantee when you go back you will appreciate actual roads a whole lot more.

right? they censor rebal news because they were willing to stand up for our rights or pay fines given by a tyrannical government. People need to be held to account and not play a victim game

Manitoba is broke.

[@bonbonvegabon]

Because con govts are stealing from that province since1955.CONS ARE TRASH

[@KayJay940]

Maybe they should pay or contribute to the actual road. Leeches.

[@shawnpitman876]

Everyone already does, numpty. Property taxes pay for roads. Maybe you should get an education, little country bumpkin.

[@wally7856]

Yep, bums on bikes and nothing more

[@ansh7335]

Cities should stop building and maintaining massive highways and massive parking lots with taxes that cyclists can't use. Only use what car owners pay for such expenses. Leaches getting massive subsidies from tax payers.

​@@wally7856 Yea and idiots in cars.

[@shawnpitman876]

@@ansh7335 You car owners are the leeches, you're the ones who cause us to need to repave roads every 2 years rather than keeping them for 20. How about we start taxing you all your ACTUAL fair share of the cost you make us all incur? It'll only cost you 3x what you make in a year to keep your car on the road, ENJOY!

[@Nirakolov]

Yaknow we could just sill the potholes with sand or dirt or whatever... this is legislated harm.

lol It's funny when people rack out. The big wheel bike should take it. Not funny when it damages your property though.

[@geoffjeffersob4226]

Cyclists can’t complain 😂 they pay zero road taxes. Ie fuel, registration etc

[@danlefe]

they pay the same taxes you do, probably have a car like you do too.

@@danlefe probably not actually. Most people in cities don’t. And how can they fuel tax while cycling. 🤡 I think your missing the point. They shouldn’t be on the roads to begin with.

[@geoffjeffersob4226]

@@ansh7335 cyclists should only use cycling trails and stay off the roads they don’t pay for. How’s that 😝

ride a 2000$+ "fatbike", complain about potholes. how entitled

[@aliasfakename2267]

Lol right? I've purchased actual motorcycles for less than some of those bikes.

[@Francois_Dupont]

@@aliasfakename2267 buying a pedal bike for that price is outrageous. we are truly living in a dystopian nightmare. what happened to common sense? its not even an electric bike or something. a couple of years ago i bought a 400$ car and drove it around for 5years. then i sold the cat for 450$ and the rest at a scrap yard for 250$.

[@aliasfakename2267]

@@Francois_Dupont common sense is gone, people are buying $200 t-shirts and $100,000 trucks. I bought a Camry in 2006 for 4k, I still drive it. I don't understand the rampant consumerism nowadays. Sadly my sister is caught up in the nonsense, between her house and vehicles she's 600k in debt for stuff she could do without. She makes more money than me but lives from pay to pay.

[@shawnpitman876]

@@aliasfakename2267 Congrats on proving that you're too dumb to understand how money devalues over time and how $1000 today isn't the same value as $1000 in 2006, numpty. PS: It's funny how you use the price of a USED CAR to compare to the cost of a BRAND NEW bike. Just goes to show how desperate you are to try and make yourself seem smart.
