Hey #Ottbike In your agenda: April 29 for another Bike Minds at the Ottawa Bike Cafe. With: - James Lin - Xiaobin Wang - Mathieu Bouchard - Samuel Benoit @velocanadabikes.bsky.social @ecologyottawa.bsky.social @envirocentre.bsky.social @bikeottawa.bsky.social @forourkidsog.bsky.social #Ottbike

Weather starting to look like #cycling season again:

In your calendar: our next #Ottawa BIKE MINDS event will be on April 29, 2026. Details to come. Confirming with speakers right now.

Our executive director William van Geest spoke with the Kitchissippi Times about @en.ottawa.ca's progress—or lack thereof—on building #Ottawa's urban tree canopy. Urban trees offer massive benefits, but—by its own admission— #OttCity is underresourcing its efforts. kitchissippi.com/ottawas-urba...

I grabbed some footage for my next video newsletter of Westboro Beach tonight. Every time I'm there I love it more...

A few weeks ago, the Westboro Beach project was (almost) finished and the public got to enjoy it. Beach volleyball courts, a new patio, a Beach Club, an new restaurant (not finished yet), all ankered by the three Strutt structures. More in my #ottbike blog hansonthebike.com/2025/06/12/c... #Ottawa

Update: first 2 speakers for next week, Thursday June 19, are on our website now. See the profiles of Robin and Melcsi who will talk about cycling and where their career took them: bikeminds.ca/2025/06/05/b... Get your (free) tickets on our website too #ottbike #BikeLife #bikescandothat

It was a pleasure to host a table at the @envirocentre.bsky.social annual symposium, to discuss our ideas for 24/7 bus lanes along Bank Street. The input from participants was amazing to see, and glad to hear the idea has so much support!

We are nearly sold out for our April 2 event at BIKE MINDS OTTAWA. Looking forward to listen to 5 new speakers. Watch for future events announced on our Facebook and Bluesky pages. #ottbike #Ottawa #cycling www.eventbrite.com/e/bike-minds...
