Hi! My name is Naeva Scott Bouris and I am an undergraduate student at McMaster University. I am currently conducting research about the experiences of people who transport their children by bicycle in Hamilton.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Annual General Meeting last night at Collective Arts🎉! It was so nice to be back together to recap another incredible year of cycling in #HamOnt. Cycle Hamilton is officially 10 years old, and we would not be here without your support!

In a stunning display of prosecutor and police indifference (at best) to violence perpetrated against people on bikes, the driver that ran our client off the road on Sydenham Hill in May 2024 has escaped any real penalty. www.thespec.com/news/hamilto...

🚨 Bill 60 would BAN new bike lanes that take a lane from cars — province-wide. This is a direct attack on road safety, climate action, and livable cities. Raise your voice. Tell the Ford government: #SafeStreets aren’t optional. #Bill60 #BikeHamOnt #HamOnt #onpoli

Come join us for our Kidical Mass Bike Ride! On Saturday, November 8, 2025, at 10AM. We'll fill the streets with bikes and smiles as we ride from Dalewood Elementary to Churchill Park. Make sure to bring your helmet, bike, and positive vibes! Tell all your family and friends! #hamilton #kidicalMass

Kidical Mass September is in the books. We had 16 riders (parents, kids and friends) join us on our monthly, family friendly, no drop ride which ended with snacks and socializing (the kids also had fun on the playground at either end of this ride).

The after Public Works Committee votes to increase speed cameras. Ontario’s Premier: 🚫 Bike lanes 🚫 Speed cameras 🚫 Vision Zero Instead of holding vandals accountable, he rewards them. Safe streets aren’t up for debate. #OnPoli #VisionZero #BikeHamOnt

We also heard about new infrastructure coming that'll make it safer to ride from Corktown to the North End — especially for the littlest riders. Every ride, a reminder: kids belong on bikes. Let’s keep building a city where that’s normal. #KidicalMass #HamOnt #SafeStreets #BikesForAll #CycleSky

Things I overheard at today’s @kidicalmassham.bsky.social ride: 🚲 “I just learned to ride this week!” (x2!) 🛣️ “This is my first time riding on the road!” 🩹 “I’ll have a snack if I get a band-aid.” (Deal. SharpieGuy came stocked.)

Another awesome neighbourhood @kidicalmassham.bsky.social ride. We had 25 people out on this hot day. Thanks to Daily School Route and @ward2hamilton.bsky.social for the pictures and videos. We were joined on the ride by the Ward 2 Clr. Cameron Kroetsch and Ward 4 Trustee Abby Zaitley.

Wonderful to join kids, parents, and folks from @cyclehamilton.bsky.social and the Daily School Route at today’s Kidical Mass ride in Corktown Park. #HamOnt

Not every kid has a helmet — and that shouldn’t be a barrier to riding. Ahead of this Saturday’s #KidicalMassHamilton, a neighbour flagged this need. We reached out to @ward2hamilton.bsky.social & Clr. Kroetsch , who quickly connected us with New Hope Bikes & @thebikinglawyer.bsky.social.
