🚲✨ Kidical Mass Hamilton is gearing up for a BIG 2026 season, and we are looking for volunteers to help make it happen. Love bikes, community, and safer streets for kids? Come ride with us.

🚲✨ Kidical Mass Hamilton is BACK for Season 3 ✨🚲 We’re rolling into a new season, and yes, we made a few upgrades: 📅 Ride schedule. Second Saturday of every month at 10 AM (tentative, plus a few bonus rides like Bike For Mike on June 7, 2026, because we like fun and more bikes is always better).

Such a joy to see so many cyclists brave the cold for another Winter Bike Day! ❄️ We are already looking forward to Summer Bike Day coming your way when the warmer weather rolls in 🚲!

Winter Bike Day is THIS Friday! Join us for this annual celebration of winter cycling on King William St (between James St N and Hughson St N) from 7:30am-9:30am. We will be offering 4 group rides to the event, be sure to check out our previous post for more information on the group ride schedule.

Arrive to Winter Bike Day in style with one of our four group rides! All rides will be heading to King William Street (between James St N and Hughson St N) on Friday February 13th. Check out the ride details below! 🚲Dundas Ride🚲 ⏰6:45am 📍Meet outside Café Domestiique 🫡Led by Rich

Winter Bike Day is NEXT WEEK ❄️! Join us on King William Street between James St N and Hughson St N (featured in this video) on Friday, February 13th between 7:30am-9:30am for a celebration of winter cycling 🎉. Hope to see you there 💙

Are #HamOnt Councillors about to defund climate action? Read on for more info - and be sure to follow @hamilton350org.bsky.social and @cyclehamilton.bsky.social if you are not already too!

Delegation Days may be over for #HamOnt Budget 2026, but heads up. Anyone who watched the GIC meeting on January 29 heard it. There may be a motion coming to pause the accelerated Cycling Master Plan. Yes, pause. During a safety and climate crisis.

We can’t wait for Winter Bike Day coming up on Friday, February 13th from 7:30am-9:30am on King William Street (between James St N and Hughson St N). 💌🚲❄️ Stop by for hot beverages, treats, good vibes and the opportunity to connect with other winter riders here in #HamOnt! ☕️

Winter Bike Day is back — save the date! ❄️🚲 Join us on Friday, February 13, from 7:30–9:30 a.m. on King William Street (between James St N and Hughson St N) to celebrate cycling in all seasons. During the event, the street will be for pedestrian and bike use only.

In light of recent events involving X\Twitter enabling non-consensual sexual deepfakes of women and children, our board decided last night it is time to leave. You can now follow us here and on instagram www.instagram.com/cyclehamilton/ We are here to build safer streets, not normalize harm.

This is our final post in the Vulnerable Road Users Collision Research project. Every report is a receipt. Safer roads aren’t a vibe, they’re a necessity. Want to expose what official stats keep missing? Use BikeMaps.org. Report: • Cycling collisions • Near misses • Hazards • Bike thefts

Unreported collisions = invisible safety problems. If it doesn’t get reported, it doesn’t get counted. And if it doesn’t get counted, it doesn’t get fixed. Collision data is what drives: • Street redesign • Bike lane improvements • Resource allocation • Accountability

🚨Deadline is Today🚨

Are you passionate about making Hamilton the best place to get around by bike? Do you enjoy advocacy work and community engagement? Does working towards collective goals with a passionate team interest you?! If so, we have an opportunity for you! 🌟 We’re recruiting Board Members 🌟

🧵/1 Off the record = unsafe streets. In Hamilton, most crashes involving people who bike, walk, or use mobility devices never get reported. Not because they don’t matter, but because the system is built for cars, not people.

Our 2025 season might be parked, but the wheels are already spinning for 2026 KidicalMass. This year, 275 riders showed up across 7 scheduled rides and 4 bonus rides. That is a lot of smiles, bells, and tiny legs doing big things.

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.

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.

Big thanks to everyone who came out for yesterday's @kidicalmassham.bsky.social Ride! It was a small but mighty turnout and the smiles were huge. A special shoutout to Hamilton Electric Bikes for hosting both the start and finish, and for the bonus freezies that hit the spot perfectly.
