So the ebike is a brick in the back of my Rav4, but it still works like a normal bike, so let's keep going! But a sudden realization may provide the solution to unlock all the battery goodness, just as another stunning discovery makes me realize, this trip's Plan B was all meant to be. Lake Ontario 2025 - Part 3 Hotel pack-up & quick diagnosis Morning in Oswego, NY. Realizes the motor cut-off is just a loose brake-lever magnet. Simple electrical/duct-tape fix brings the e-bike back to life. Route planning & launch Scraps the closed Cape Vincent ferry idea decides to drive the east shore of Lake Ontario, scouting state parks and quieter wildlife areas instead of sticking to busy parks. Lake-side stops Quick visit to Black Pond Wildlife Management Area (too restricted for bikes). Heads north to Westcott Beach State Park for a short beach walk, photos, and a quick battery test run. Drive to Canada Long detour to the Thousand Islands bridge (the only open crossing) because the south-end Wolf Island ferry is closed. Smooth Canadian customs stop; grabs ice cream and activates a Canadian eSIM for data. Kingston → Wolf Island ferry Misses the boat by two cars; 80-minute wait becomes a snack-and-people-watch session. Free ferry ride over; hotel is literally a block from the dock. Marysville check-in Rustic ground-floor room, lake view, no A/C needed. Drops bags, scopes dinner options (hotel café). Evening e-bike shake-down 14-mile out-and-back along Route 95 to the shuttered U.S. ferry dock on the south tip. Cruises at ~20 mph, marvels at wind turbines, farmland scenery, and micro-climates. Confirms minimal battery draw and re-affirms “twice the speed, half the effort” mantra. Wrap-up reflections Happy the brake glitch happened early—it forced a car assist and avoided being stranded. Wolf Island deemed a stellar, low-traffic cycling spot; sets intentions for next day's ride and keeps an eye on looming Toronto weather.

We begin with controversy and farce over late trains, leading to accusations of international sabotage.Terry argues Calvin can't take a slagging and it almost goes completely out of hand as we have accusations of being a rat firing around the studio.We hear all about the Talking Bollox day out at an awards ceremony, from Terry arriving late due to a wardrobe malfunction of his own making, and him getting a fire exit confused with the jacks.Calvin has taken two holidays in everyone's book except his own, and it seems a few days in Spain no longer makes the cut as a holiday for podcasting's most travelled man.We wonder what's no longer acceptable over the age of 40, from tracksuits to avoiding crusts of bread, to saying yup.And we hear about the endless possibilities of being an identical twin and having a body double on hand to make life easier.Send all of your questions and comments to talkingbollox@goloudnow.com

Hated by some as a crumbling eyesore on the capital's landscape, and loved by others for its architectural significance - Wellington's Gordon Wilson Flats seem to be on borrowed time. Krystal Gibbens reports.
An architect is pushing back on plans to demolish Wellington's Gordon Wilson Flats - on the Terrace. They were built in the late 1950s and have heritage status for being relatively unique social housing. Housing Minister Chris Bishop has intervened to let owners, Victoria University, demolish the building, which it'll replace with student accommodation. Architect Ken Davis says it's part of our cultural heritage. "If we pull it down, we're destroying some existing viable housing units that already exist - they only need to be refurbished."

Minister for Housing Chris Bishop joins Emile Donovan.
A social housing block that has sat empty in central Wellington for more than a decade will soon lose its heritage status - and there's hopes it could be demolished this side of Christmas. The Gordon Wilson flats on The Terrace have sat empty since 2012, with Victoria University buying the land in 2014. But the buildings held heritage status, making permission to demolish the buildings difficult to acquire. But now the government will progress legislation to remove the flats' heritage status, allowing demolition. “The amendment will remove the flats' protected heritage status and will make its demolition a permitted activity under the RMA. This means the building can finally be demolished, without a resource consent,“ Housing Minister Chris Bishop says. He joined Nick Mills to discuss the decision.

On this episode, we dig into the eerie story of a mother and son who moved into a modest apartment in a once-lively neighborhood—and found themselves sharing their home with something unseen. What began as playful, almost harmless energy quickly revealed a chilling presence: a spectral boy caught between life and death, replaying his final moments on the porch where he took his last breath. As the family uncovered the building's tragic history, they came face-to-face with the lingering sorrow of a soul unsure of its fate. With the help of neighbors and a desperate apartment blessing, they attempted to guide the spirit toward peace. But even now, unanswered questions remain. Who was the boy—and what keeps some spirits from ever truly moving on?
On this episode, we dig into the eerie story of a mother and son who moved into a modest apartment in a once-lively neighborhood—and found themselves sharing their home with something unseen. What began as playful, almost harmless energy quickly revealed a chilling presence: a spectral boy caught between life and death, replaying his final moments on the porch where he took his last breath. As the family uncovered the building's tragic history, they came face-to-face with the lingering sorrow of a soul unsure of its fate. With the help of neighbors and a desperate apartment blessing, they attempted to guide the spirit toward peace. But even now, unanswered questions remain. Who was the boy—and what keeps some spirits from ever truly moving on?

Halle Berry plays a 911 operator who's traumatized by a distress call gone wrong, and aims to redeem herself when the suspect in question strikes again. Though the film itself has real emotional highs that have you on the edge of your seat for most of the ride, by the time it pulls into the final act it's completely lost steam and you're left wondering why you even watched it in the first place.
