Per @graphicmatt.com's latest column, the data says things are not all doom and gloom in Toronto. Even so, Mayor Chow and members of City Council still need to be held accountable. Especially as we approach an election year. #TOpoli www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

With only a few days left in 2025, here is my Strava Year in Sport. #BikeTO #BikeSky strava.app.link/hA28UWkrrZb

Gaslighting at its finest. Or dare I say worst? #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli #ONpoli #VisionZero

If we are EVER to learn from the disastrous Line 6 opening and (incoming) Line 5 disaster, Toronto must objectively reflect on their history & conception. @jrurbanenetwork.bsky.social latest piece does exactly that. These are 2 badly planned, politicized ideas choked by poor delivery & discourse.

If one of your New Year’s resolutions is to get more involved in fighting creeping Christofascism, clear your schedule on January 10. The last time these ding dongs tried to march at Christie Pits they were outnumbered 10-1. I bet we can do better than that this time. #Toronto #CounterProtest

With 2025 almost over, it's time for my annual Year in Review! There have been some highs such as a new gravel bike and doing the 150 km Toronto to Niagara ride, as well as some lows such as Bill 60 and a stolen bike. #BikeTO #TOpoli #ONpoli #VisionZero www.twowheeledpolitics.ca/2025/12/time...

Meanwhile in Ontario, our car-brained Premier Doug Ford continues to prevent Toronto from pursuing congestion pricing despite the overwhelming evidence it works in NYC, London, and other cities around the world. #BikeTO #WalkTO #TTC #TOpoli #ONpoli

The East Don Trail project website has been updated for the first time since July 14, 2025 with some updated construction photos. Remaining work including fencing, topsoil placement, seeding & final paving is anticipated to be done by Spring 2026. #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli trca.ca/conservation...

Recall, Waymo is making a push to enter Toronto along w/ rest of Canada. Whilst mayors, premiers continue to endanger our lives - light, unenforced regulations for e-scooters, e-bikes are already a hazard. What now? www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/u...

Interesting update from @thebentway.bsky.social on connecting a series of trails under the Gardiner from Dufferin to the DVP. While I'm all for new trails in this city, I would still prefer Queen's Quay or the Richmond-Adelaide cycle tracks. #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli thebentway.ca/news/toronto...

Start with regulating the companies that run the delivery app "Addressing the underlying problem requires both new provincial regs over e-bikes and a grant of authority to cities to license — and to make accountable to the public — the app-based food delivery companies." - @albertkoehl.bsky.social

I lived thru the end of public smoking. Early in my career I presented to city councils who were smoking, in front of audiences who were smoking. Smoking in restaurants, airplanes, hospitals… All of that seems insane now, but it was very controversial when we DID change it. We CAN change things.

Easy fix: 🚲

Toronto's New Year's Day ride is returning for the 14th edition! Meet 11 AM at Yonge & Queen's Quay for 11:30 AM departure to either the Leslie Spit or Humber Bay. #BikeTO #TOpoli www.facebook.com/events/14258...

We did it! 20 km of new bike lanes including Rathburn, Trethewey, and Kingston. The approval “sends notice that the City of Toronto is not just going to sit around and twiddle its thumbs while Bill 60 is law.” www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

So happy to hear @thewaroncars.bsky.social has finally added a Toronto stop for their book tour! Let's be sure to give them a warm #BikeTO welcome when they arrive on February 5! #TOpoli #VisionZero

Since I had today off, I finally got the chance to ride the new Finch West LRT a.k.a. Line 6. To add a twist to this journey, I did a return trip via bike share to find out which was faster given early reports of the LRT being slow. #BikeTO #TTC #TOpoli www.twowheeledpolitics.ca/2025/12/i-fo...

Today's Toronto Star column from @shawnmicallef.bsky.social argues the #TTC has been in decline and could no longer be viewed as "the better way". In some ways such as all these sunway slow zones and the botched Line 6 opening, I can't disagree. #TOpoli www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Fantastic news for Scarborough!

Ass Assford strikes out again! The former #BikeTO ally who championed the Danforth bike lanes during his first term is one of three votes against Councillor Cheng's motion to revisit Transform Yonge to see if there are options for installation without removing traffic lanes. #TOpoli #VisionZero

On the Science Centre closure, the provincial government "claimed the roof was imminently about to collapse. We now know that the roof has not collapsed winter after winter. In fact, the roof has more integrity than the Ford government itself," says Councillor Josh Matlow.

Package of 20km of bikeways, as recommended by city staff --- including Kingston Road --- passes at City Council.

Now a pizza company is publicly calling out #Toronto ‘s long-delayed “rapid” transit lines for slow delivery. (A+ trolling, by the way)

My community has been working on bringing complete street safety improvements to Scarborough pm Danforth Ave and Kingston Rd for the past four years... and we are a vote away. youtu.be/r16_mWIM5EI #WalkTO #bikeTO #ScarbTO #Ward20 cc @cycletoronto.bsky.social

Glad that Pickering City Council is urging Parks Canada to reopen the Rouge River pedestrian bridge linking Pickering to Toronto. Having it closed more than a year until 2027 would force an unacceptable detour for Waterfront Trail users. #BikeTO #TOpoli #ONpoli www.insauga.com/parks-canada...

Folks, here's your latest reason why I refer to Brad as "Ass Assford"! How low can you get; cutting off bottled water for the homeless? Let's make sure he's out of a job in October! #shame #TOpoli

John Tory couldn't get congestion pricing from Kathleen Wynne's government so the idea that Chow will manage it from some future government is... fanciful.

Nobody moves any amendments to Mayor Olivia Chow's motion to speed up the Finch West LRT, streetcars and other transit routes with better signal priority. The motion CARRIES 22-1. secure.toronto.ca/council/agen...

Stephen Holyday seriously needs to fuck off! Mayor Chow is right in which we need to prioritize LRT's with hundreds of people over 3-4 left turning vehicles. #TTC #TOpoli

Hey #BikeTO! The Friends of the West Scarborough Rail Path sent out this urgent message calling on people to e-mail City Council in support of Councillor Kandavel's motion regarding the West Scarborough Rail Path. Please sign & share. #ScarbTO #TOpoli www.westscarboroughrailpath.ca/email_counci...

LAST CALL! The deadline to submit your comments regarding Councillor Lily Cheng's member motion MM35.10 regarding reopening Transform Yonge to explore implementation without removing traffic lanes because of Bill 60 is TODAY at 4:30 PM. #BikeTO #TOpoli #VisionZero secure.toronto.ca/council/agen...

@ohtheurbanity.bsky.social Shows us the importance of showcasing how much our cities are regularly changing for the better. 🚲🚶🚌 www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eDq...

With tomorrow's high being -9C, we're glad Cycling Good Cheer was last Sunday when it was a tolerable -1C. And as promised, here's the video of our pedal-powered Santa Claus Parade! youtube.com/shorts/jsQJ0... #BikeTO @bikewaysto.bsky.social

Bike Share Toronto has seen massive growth. From 2.4 million rides in 2019 to 8.1 million (projected) in 2025, with a goal of 14 million by 2030. They plan to add 2,500 regular bikes and another 2,500 e-bikes in that timeframe. They’re targeting certain station densities too.

The Dutch cycle more than nearly every other country in the world. But interestingly, the level of car ownership in the Netherlands is on par with that of Canada. Good cycling isn’t about being anti-car. It’s about giving drivers and all others good, safe options getting around.

Given one of the final bridges needed to complete the East Don Trail (Phase 1) was done last week, I decided to check it out and document some trail conditions along the way. Look forward to riding the full trail in the spring. #BikeTO #TOpoli #VikingBiking www.twowheeledpolitics.ca/2025/12/wint...

"Renewable energy smashed records last year, growing by 15% and accounting for more than 90% of all new power generation capacity. Investment in clean energy topped $2tn, outstripping that into fossil fuels by two to one." #cdnpoli #climate www.theguardian.com/environment/...

A full house at CSI 192 Spadina in Toronto waiting for @avilewis.ca to speak about climate and militarism. However, I am disappointed by the presence of protesters supporting Yves Engler - whose candidacy was rejected - at the entrance of the building. #cdnpoli #NDP

People defending the slow speeds on the grounds of social equity have no legs to stand on. Transit (including on Finch) being faster is exactly what delivers big equity gains. It closes the gap with the car for people who *don't* drive.

Less than a month after Premier Ford removed speed cameras and he already has blood on his hands. 🤬 #TOpoli #ONpoli

This is great news. www.thestar.com/news/gta/sca...

City Council will consider 20 km of new bike lanes without removing any car lanes. This comes after a hectic IEC where deputants sacrificed their speaking time to ensure it wasn’t deferred. It’s only a “win-win solution” if Council adopts the staff recommendations: www.cycleto.ca/win_win_solution

Given Doug Ford's #PCPO government has been getting away with taking 33 weeks of vacation within a twelve month period, Ontario needs recall legislation ASAP! If Albertans can launch recall petitions against 21 MLA's, why can't we here? #shame #ONpoli #RecallFordNow

Ford government extends Ontario legislature’s Christmas break until late March Just unreal. Ford has stopped even pretending to run a government. It's all about hiding from the corruption. Last call for Ontario's opposition parties to get their acts together. #onpoli

Ahead of Tuesday's City Council meeting, Councillor Lily Cheng put forward a member motion requesting that city staff revise Transform Yonge so it can be done without removing traffic lanes. The latest consequence of Doug Ford's Bill 60. #BikeTO #TOpoli #VisionZero secure.toronto.ca/council/agen...

Federal #NDP leadership candidate @avilewis.ca will be hosting a Climate & Militarism talk on Saturday (6 - 8 PM) at CSI 192 Spadina Avenue in Toronto. Hope to see you there. #cdnpoli act.lewisforleader.ca/climate-mili...

Gotta read Cameron’s recap of this meeting. It’s wild how little toronto cares about improving transit. No wonder little gets built.

NEW: A battle between the TTC and Metrolinx over when to open the Eglinton Crosstown LRT reached a head on Dec. 5 at a tense meeting attended by Doug Ford and Olivia Chow. Metrolinx wants to open in 2025, TTC says that's not responsible. #OnPoli #Topoli globalnews.ca/news/1157065...

The federal #NDP made the right call by rejecting Yves Engler's leadership candidacy. Not only are his policies too radical for my liking, but his unprofessional candour throughout does not belong in such positions of power. #cdnpoli #ndpldr www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...
