Then there was co-working, which brought the so-called sharing economy to the workplace: a pay-as-you-go for as-long-as-you-need workspace. Now there’s a new co-kid on the block: co-living. It’s not just a remake of “Friends,” where people are sharing an apartment; in co-living, it’s a business, with professional management operating the space and offering it on a month-to-month basis....

In which I argue that bike-friendliness should be measured by how well a town caters to its most practical, regular, and vulnerable of users, not tourists. My small rural town recently received a bronze award at the Ontario Bike Summit and is now officially designated a “bike-friendly community.” Upon seeing this news on Twitter, I choked on my coffee.
