On Monday, I biked from Barrie to Collingwood including along the recently extended rail trail which now starts at Angus. While I plan to do a video compilation soon, my blog post reviewing the trail is now up for your viewing pleasure. #BikeTO #BikeSky www.twowheeledpolitics.ca/2026/05/barr...

Jamaal Myers just registered today to run for re-election in Ward 23. Hope @graphicmatt.com updates his candidate tracker ASAP. #TOpoli #TOelxn26

Mark your calendars! The Bike to Work Day group commute to Nathan Phillips Square will take place on Thursday, June 4. Learn more about this event and others during Bike Month at bikemonth.ca.

Survived riding the Barrie-Collingwood Rail Trail this afternoon in the 30'C heat. While the rail trail is pretty good, the New Lowell to Stayner stretch in particular was brutal with the loose gravel, but had some fish and chips with beer in the end. #BikeTO #BikeSky www.strava.com/activities/1...

Happy Victoria Day! On the GO Train to Barrie to ride the new Barrie-Collingwood Rail Trail! Hope you are able to get out and ride today wherever you are! #BikeTO #BikeSky

What brings more business to local merchants: parked cars or people? Even bike lane-haters like The Old Sod + The Crooked Cue in The Kingsway prefer live customers over dormant cars. #biketo #onpoli

A couple weeks ago we made it out for the Neon Riders' first ride of 2026 - the annual Cherry Blossom ride! #BikeTO youtube.com/shorts/tWp-T...

Willowdale Community Ride with Councillor Cheng & 120+ people of all ages riding 25km from Willowdale to downtown! @jasonthorne.bsky.social @bikewaysto.bsky.social @cycletoronto.bsky.social

More than 120 cyclists and 3 dogs joined Cllr Lily Cheng’s 3rd ride from Willowdale to the Port Lands highlighting trails, cycling infrastructure, & gaps in safe connections, for riders of all ages for a welcoming day of advocacy, community, and unexpected weather. lisastokes.ca/2026/05/lily...

About 125 people attended today's 3rd Annual Willowdale Community Bike Ride hosted by Councillor Lily Cheng and Peter Low with @bikewaysto.bsky.social providing ride marshals. My blog post about the ride is now up for your viewing pleasure. #BikeTO #TOpoli www.twowheeledpolitics.ca/2026/05/3rd-...

Started reading "If You Want to Win, You've Got to Fight" by @carterlavin.bsky.social this evening. So far, it gives a reminder that we cannot avoid politics if we are to change transportation outcomes. Hope to do a review when I am done. #BikeTO #BikeSky

Follow @go-nabsa.bsky.social! The North American Bikeshare & Scootershare Association (NABSA) collaborates across sectors to grow shared micromobility and its benefits to communities, creating a more equitable and sustainable transportation ecosystem.

Just for a final reminder, the 3rd Annual Willowdale Community Bike Ride to downtown is happening TOMORROW! Meet 9 AM at Avondale Park. Rumour has it almost 200 RSVP'ed for this ride! #BikeTO #TOpoli www.lilycheng.ca/event-detail...

Happy Friday! Ahead of the Victoria Day long weekend, I added a new resource on my blog explaining which trails you can get to by GO Transit. Look forward to getting your feedback including any trails I may have missed. #BikeTO #CycleON #TOpoli #ONpoli www.twowheeledpolitics.ca/p/cyclist-go...

It's amazing that Toronto Bike share is trending as high as it is, given how frustratingly chilly this spring has been!

From Safe Parkside: look what happened on Parkside Drive after Premier Doug Ford banned speed cameras.

Excellent analysis of the island airport jet proposal by UofT Professor Emeritus of Management Sandford Borins, including the fact that Pearson can ultimately handle 100 million passengers!

The Scarborough subway extension is now expected to be delayed to 2033 per some internal #TTC documents. Subway vs LRT talk aside, if John Tory didn't bring up that boneheaded one stop subway idea, this project may have been done by now! #shame #TOpoli #ONpoli www.thestar.com/news/gta/sca...

Good news for national unity (and bad news for Danielle Smith)! An Alberta judge has thrown out a 300,000-signature petition calling on the province to separate from Canada because the province failed to consult with First Nations peoples. #cdnpoli #ABpoli #ElbowsUp www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lk9B...

Why is Doug Ford so eager to expand #BillyBishopAirport that will benefit an American Bank? #FollowTheMoney #FordIsCorrupt #NoJetsTO #onpoli #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/05/08/n...

Today's @thestar.com op-ed by Peter Donolo - a former Chrétien communications director - calls out the lack of willingness by Toronto's 23 #LPC MP's to stand up to Doug Ford and say #NoJetsTO. A direct contrast to the Chrétien governments of the 1990's. #cdnpoli www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

I've seen this graph around, but I read it as much as an indicator of auto-centricism (huge stores on cheap land driving up square footage) instead of about over-retailing per se. In urban environments, linear feet is often more indicative the square footage—but that is hard to compare to suburbs.

A must read piece by @englishrail.bsky.social as to why Toronto transit puts all American cities except for NYC to shame! It's not subways, but rather the frequent suburban bus service introduced in the early 1960's. #TTC #TOpoli #UrbanTruth

Oh boy.

The East Don Trail project website has been updated which states completion of the project is now tentatively scheduled for early July! Remaining works include final paving, topsoil placement, terraseeding and building the Taylor Creek access road. #BikeTO #TOpoli #VisionZero trca.ca/conservation...

Count the cars. Count the people. Why is Yonge St still not pedestrianized? At least the section south of College. #Toronto #Urbanism

My newest article for @spacing.bsky.social about my qualms with Yonge Street and the Sankofa Square area, and how the YongeTOmorrow project is woefully inadequate to address them. Like Church St, most EU cities would have pedestrianised Yonge decades ago, especially as the backbone of the city.

When local Liberal MPs say they’re in the dark about plans too, they are lying. Their own agency is sitting on secret reports. Ask your Toronto liberal MP to stop lying to you.

As much as I like Nate, he wasn't doing himself any favours by openly admitting he wants to use the SSW seat to gun for the #OLP leadership and by asking nomination rivals to step aside. However, Marit & the #ONDP need to ask serious questions given they are behind the leaderless Liberals. #ONpoli

Sharing for west end #biketo, #railpath and #walkto enthusiasts. See you there!

This damning article in @t4america.bsky.social by Steve Davis suggests not a single new transit project has been advanced by USDOT since Donald Trump's second term began more than a year ago all while driving is more expensive than ever. #shame #cdnpoli #uspoli #transit t4america.org/2026/05/05/u...

It's time to close the gaps in Toronto's remarkable potential 72 km Loop Trail (along with other potential loops), says @rzaichkowski.bsky.social #bikeTO spacing.ca/toronto/2026...

NEW: A new report says Ubers and other ride-sharing companies are increasing Toronto traffic. They found that rideshare drivers clocked 1.13 billion kms on city streets last year — a 40% jump from 2023. #topoli www.torontotoday.ca/local/enviro...

“When we relegate decision-making to people who have these ideas about whose lives are worth valuing, I don’t think that that should count as ‘consulting the community.'”

Alberta is taking a page from Doug Ford's Ontario by planning to introduce legislation to stop new bike lanes and rip out existing ones. I encourage #YYCbike & #YEGbike folks to fight this boneheaded move tooth and nail while we #BikeTO & #ottbike folks continue to resist at our end. #ONpoli #ABpoli

Thanks @spacing.bsky.social for publishing my article about the need to make completing the 72 km Loop Trail - and other trail gaps across the city - an issue for this October's municipal election. #BikeTO #TOpoli #VisionZero spacing.ca/toronto/2026...

About time a bike counter display got set up along the Martin Goodman Trail! We need more of these across Toronto! #BikeTO #TOpoli

Looking for a group ride during the long weekend? Councillor Lily Cheng will be hosting the 3rd annual Willowdale Community Bike Ride to Downtown next Saturday. Meet 9 AM at Avondale Park. You can RSVP at the link but bike share bikes are sold out. #BikeTO #TOpoli www.lilycheng.ca/event-detail...

Today NoJetsTO is launching a Federal E-Petition! Sponsored by @elizabethemay.bsky.social, it calls for the government of Canada to say no to jets at the island airport and save our waterfront! Sign now: www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en... #topoli #onpoli #cdnpoli

Whole clip shows up Bradford's lies. Mayor Chow has taken care of issue Tory & Ford ignored or didn't care about. Bradford became Tory's man after convincing voters in Beaches-East York hat he (BB) would be a progressive.

We got another Gong show on our hands for this fall's election with Xiao Hua Gong having registered to run for Mayor again! Cue in the memes, folks! 😉 #TOpoli

On Toronto's island airport, only Carney can stop the madness. Where is the case for an expansion? And what else could this place be? My column: www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

Why won’t PM MarkCarney's @liberalca.bsky.social take a side on Billy Bishop Airport? www.tvo.org/article/anal... #cdnpoli #onpoli @ontariopcparty.bsky.social @oliviachow.bsky.social @juliedabrusin.bsky.social

Look I'm not going to tell people how to run their campaigns, but if you think the 3 years under Chow have been polarized and partisan, you haven't been paying attention. Chow has the highest degree of councillor alignment of any mayor post amalgamation. www.torontotoday.ca/local/city-h...

IntegrityTO should really be called CarbrainTO! As if ridiculing RapidTO bus lanes & bike lanes wasn't bad enough, Daniel Tate is now trash talking the idea of making High Park car-free! If NYC can do it with Central and Prospect Parks, we can do it here! #shame #TOpoli #ParkHP x.com/integrity_to...

"Standouts [for good attendance] include Coun. Amber Morley (Ward 3 Etobicoke-Lakeshore), who has had to navigate some tough local issues related to shelters + bike lanes, but hasn’t wavered from the principles she brought to the office." - @graphicmatt.com #biketo www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...
