- Biker across Canada. A cyclist who left from Vancouver, British Columbia, biked across Canada and arrived in Halifax, Nova Scotia, 20 days later. Bianca Hayes said her 3,666-mile ride across Canada set a new record for female cyclists, although her 20-day ride fell short of her original goal of finishing in under 15 days to beat the male record… Hayes’ ride raised more than $22,000 for ovarian cancer research. She said the cause is personal to her, after her sister, Katrina, died after a battle with the disease in 2018.

- Parked Train hotel. A luxury hotel preparing to open in South Africa is offering guests the chance to spend the night in a train permanently parked on a bridge. Kruger Shalati: The Train on the Bridge, a hotel being constructed from an old train on the Selati Bridge over the Sabie River in Kruger National Park, features 24 carriage rooms in retired train cars parked on the bridge’s tracks… The operators of the luxury hotel said there is currently no opening date due to construction being paused amid the COVID-19 pandemic, but they are currently aiming to start accommodating guests by December of this year. Stays at the hotel, which include meals and guided vehicle tours of the park’s wildlife, begin at $520 per night… The glass-walled train rooms, all of which overlook the river, feature decor created in collaboration with local artists, while there’s also a separate dining area and swimming pool — also on the bridge.
- Racing Electric scooters. Electric scooters like those from Bird, Lime, Uber and Lyft are either super convenient means of last-mile transportation or a blight on the face of your fair city, depending on who you ask. Either way, they have become pretty popular since their introduction a couple of years ago. Given that popularity, it was inevitable that someone would try to create a racing series around them. The eSkootr Championship dropped a very glitzy promotional video on its Twitter on Tuesday.

The car’s owner alerted local police after he received a phone call from the thief pleading to get him out of the sweltering vehicle. The suspect was so weakened by the oven-like interior that police had to take him away in a wheelchair.
