Shoutout to @pattybikes.com and @smbeiko.bsky.social of the Ballot Babes podcast. Listening to them has been very educational, and they give me a modicum of hope. www.pattybikes.com/ballot-babes

This was one of the most amazing conversations I've ever had since starting my podcast. I hope you watch Mevan's amazing story of fleeing Iraq under Sadam's persecution and how a bicycle had such a huge impact in her life. youtu.be/5mq2_Jh4YpE?...

"That will never work here" @pattybikes.com

I got this sweet package with a certificate from Michael Jen’s, city councillor in Edmonton. More respect than my own councillor, Jeff Browaty, who told me I should take the bus or drive in winter because he won’t spend an extra dime clearing bike lanes “just for me”.

In this episode we take calls from listeners regarding Winnipeg Transit and we dive deep into the latest Executive Policy Committee meeting, focusing on issues of safe speeds and the bike lane project on Wellington Crescent. youtu.be/sN8Pf3bYFEM

This is actually the perfect encapsulation of the Gillingham years. Icy downtown sidewalk that should have been cleared to pavement next to pristine roadway, covered in trash from overflowing vanity trashcan meant to make life harder for unhoused people but left unmaintained after press stunt

If I ever ran for political office, I'd do play-by-play what this brilliant young person is doing.

A 61 year old man was killed on the stretch where this bike lane proposal keeps getting kicked into the future. Now our mayor is kicking seniors to the curb as well. We need a new mayor.

Today in Winnipeg Politics Let's Talk About Winnipeg Transit, Babe! youtu.be/cIJpRS2MfT0

"Cars are the most absurd means of transport in a city. They are parked 95 per cent of the time. It takes two tonnes to move someone who weighs 70 kilogrammes. And the denser the city, the more absurd it is."

My letter to the editor in today's Winnipeg Free Press. Thanks @akohan.bsky.social for finding it. I'm sure it'll get a laugh at City Hall

Come to a Book Event with me and Mitch Durand-Wood tomorrow, March 11! www.uwinnipeg.ca/sustainabili...

What better way to celebrate turning 53 than a ride to work in -22C? Happy birthday to me. I'm so lucky for so many reasons, but this is definitely one of them. Thank you @ianmccausland.bsky.social for the picture and for being a light in my life and more than I could have ever dreamed.

Great turn out for the 2nd Annual ‘Femme Friendly Bike Fair’ hosted by the Bicycle Mayor of Toronto and some great friends. h/t @880cities.bsky.social @bikesky.social #BikeTO

It’s often said that motorists “pay for” walking and cycling infrastructure. In reality, like everyone else, they contribute through general taxes, but history shows the story is more complex, even complete opposite. Cyclists ended up financing much of car infrastructure they couldn't even use. 1/

I predict Bondi will go to jail way before any other name in the Epstein files, making it TWO WOMEN in jail before any of the men even go to trial. I'm not complaining, just predicting. Fuck the patriarchy.

Evan Duncan’s intent is to limit protest. He wants to be able to do what Trump is doing without the dissent. That’s why he’s proposed the most extreme version of this by-law in all of Canada.

But on the positive side, governments will no longer have to install millions of surveillance cameras anywhere... they're already installed. and you are paying for it. @ianmccausland.bsky.social

I had the privilege of interviewing @nondriver.bsky.social, author of When Driving is Not an Option, for my podcast! Watch the interview here! Anna is brilliant! What an immense honour and pleasure to speak with you! youtu.be/Sov29UQpE8s?...

Everyday I open social media hoping for some incredible news of arrest or better for the people in the Epstein files, but I'm not sure what I actually see is good for my mental health. Just more of the same. Can you all just light up a sign in the sky for me if it happens?

Yes Donnie, think of the young children.

My timeline is so weird, Hillary Clinton getting ready to smash shit up, Taylor Swift's Opalite GENIUS, and the Obamas AI video... Holy crap. I'm exhausted.

Whoa, they let a "real" Christian into the Prayer Breakfast?

This is a true story. While travelling, one time I told someone I bike everywhere in Winnipeg and they said "oh, do you know Dave?" and I'm like, please, like do you think just because I ride a bike I know everyone who rides a bike? And yes, I know Dave, so what? @daveelmore12.bsky.social

Toronto Bike Lanes So Snow Covered Drivers Not Even Parking In Them. c/o @thebikinglawyer.bsky.social

“They cut speed limits, changed street design, removed space for cars… Now it appears that work is paying off. #Oslo & #Helsinki are reaping the rewards of committed action on making their roads safer, reducing pedestrian fatalities to zero last year.” #VisionZero #SpeedKills

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him. The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

Thinking of all of our friends in the Twin Cities at this moment. What has always stood out to us during our time there and in frequent conversation with our fellow advocates is that what makes Minnesota special are the people. That's never been more clear than right now.
