September shatters all records as MSM chases our bike lane stories

A big thank you to all the old and new readers of this blog, many of whom are listening to our daily broadcasts. This blog has seen record numbers of visits and page views this month,

Eyes all over the world, from government, Crown corporations, industry, small business, the blogosphere, and academia, have followed our series about the now-admitted failure of Winnipeg's bike lane/path/trail/bikeway expansion (hey, whatever happened to that term "boulevard"?).

The voices of the people of Downtown, Fort Rouge, St James, the west end, Lord Roberts and Robertson neighborhood in the north end, have been heard -- finally --by politicians, mainstream media, and the other residents in this election year.

Today, at 4 PM; the finger-pointing starts between Mayor Katz and councillors; the blueprint for the bike lobby was printed in Vancouver- and we have the details; we'll have more about a brewing NDP election financing scandal that was first heard about on our show Wednesday; and one of the Mayoral candidates, Brad Gross, will call in and explain his platform at 4.40 PM.


And Mazel Tov to our friends from Teambuy.ca, who did what we didn't in 2007 (with our Power Pro Wrestling TV project); they scored a deal with the Dragons' Den last night on CBC. We'll be talking with them about it next Thursday on TGCTS.
