It's more of a general complaint about how suburban city managers think life ends for 5 months a year. No park maintenance, no pedestrian street closures, bike gutters become snow storage, etc.

I have to assume that the Neuron project was so micromanaged by the Region that they just told them to not run in winter, not that it was an actual profit/loss decision by Neuron.

This is a fair point, and yeah, cycling is very much treated as a recreational activity that stops after September.

Does anyone know when the Neuron bike share thing will be back for 2024? I'm assisting with a short documentary on these sort of bike share things that will be exploring the funding behind these projects, namely the venture capital and big investment banks. The girl producing it wants to film a few clips in the style of cyclist filmmaker Terry B's short film called City Bike Boyz, so we think it would be funny to rent a couple and do some shooting downtown...would save a trip to the GTA that's for sure.

The most precise I've heard is "in April". https://www.regionofwaterloo.ca/Modules/...22a83b9af8

Nice, earlier than I expected. Hopefully they will release a specific date. If in April anyone sees some people downtown wrecking Neuron bikes, doing tricks and filming it, it's probably this haha.

Looks like they've started to get the Neuron scooters and bikes out.

Yeah, somebody said this was the planned rollout week during the Bicycle Conference in Waterloo last week.

I already saw a bunch knocked over, haha. People love to kick the scooters down. One person must have decided to vomit all over one of them too. Lovely.
