Save The Date Please save the date for an upcoming town hall to continue the discussion. We will share more details soon, but for now, mark your calendars: We look forward to seeing you there and working together to shape the future of cycling in our community. #winnipeg

@ianmccausland.bsky.social You'll soon have company in the hyperreflective space 🌟

This is the first day of school. Same route, same time, way more traffic. We need to fix the systems that prevent kids from walking, biking & scooting to school. Where motorized transportation is necessary, it should be by bus, not personal vehicles #backtoschool #yeg #carfreelife

Another successful Bike Jam in the books. A smaller one, maybe only 400 people? #BikeJamWpg #BikeWpg

My last living musical hero is still my hero but unfortunately no longer living. RIP to the great, great Mr. Tom Lehrer.

“I am not going away, I will see this through.” Watch this powerful delegation from Wendy Van Loon.

On the morning of Friday, July 11th, a man in his 60s was hit by a dump truck and killed while riding his bike on a painted bike lane. This is the worst nightmare for anyone who tries to get around in this city without a car. 1/4

Late reply here bringing back the idea that we should only call something AAA if we sponsor a field trip of daycare kids to bike it from end to end and have them grade it well on a predetermined rubric. If the city isn't comfortable with the liability of sponsoring the trip, instant fail, not AAA.

Enroute to the final stop of the #BikeJamWpg night. (I’m not great at taking video backwards on my cargo bike, turns out)

Second stop of the night for #BikeJamWpg at Omand’s Creek

Volunteer marshals rolling out for #BikeJamWpg. DJ + FM transmitter on the cargo trike. Several other cargo trikes with audio setups. Join us!

680 people at tonight’s #BikeJamWpg ride, by my count. First stop with Big Heist Brass Band

Many Winnipeggers took time out of their day today to express their disappointment at the lack of any safety improvements to Wellington Cr and were silenced by our gov't - how does Cllr. Orlikow get 5 mins to speak to 5 inanimate street parking spots but those who want their child to be safe don't?

Vigilante bike lane on Wellington Crescent. Love it.

Janice Lukes’s Public Works Committee agenda for next week dropped today. They’re delaying Wellington Cres bike lane pilot by ANOTHER 30 days.

Daneeka’s been playing Expedition 33. She calls me over to show me the graphics. D: It’s a very pretty game, but sometimes, like with the waterfall here, you can see the ‘two a-ness’ of it. Me: You can see the what? D: The two a-ness of it. Me: The two anus of it? D: … D: That’s not what I meant

Question for you Winnipeg parents out there: Does your kid's school PAC use Munch a Lunch for hot lunch days? If so, which restaurants do they use as vendors & what items do they offer? Trying to gather some info!

How long until Red Bull just slaps slicks on Lawson and see what happens? #F1 #AustralianGP #Formula1

hot take: Alonso is the only rookie who finishes this race #F1 #Formula1 #AustralianGP

How many more drivers are we going to lose? Stroll is still in the race? Despite the safety car? #F1 #AustralianGP

Because you TOTALLY asked for this… and MapQuest has NOTHING better to do… We’ve granted you exclusive access to a place very dear to our heart: gulfof.mapquest.com Think of it as the Upside Down but more... minimalist. Pls share so we can behold your genius (or judge you, lovingly) 😘

One of the lessons of that afternoon was that, even though Mr. D was literally just joking--a joke he didn't expect any of the kids to get--he still suffered the consequences of being a shithead. I think this should happen more often, to more people.

Daneeka’s phone helpfully put together a “Valentine’s Day photo collage” of me this morning. It was cute and would have felt romantic… except that the music that it chose would better suit an In Memoriam presentation.

If I may, here's David Gutnick's 2011 documentary on the Hawkins Cheezies company, as it aired on CBC's flagship weekend news magazine, Sunday Edition -- if you want a simultaneous example of why local companies like these are essential to the country, and why the CBC is too.

"After one year of the zone, nitrogen dioxide from traffic was lower, GP visits for respiratory illnesses were down by 25% and those for heart problems decreased by 24%."

"One of the things I'm exhausted by as a downtown resident, repeatedly, is the ways in which suburban and outlying, outside-the-core parking needs go against the needs of us downtown residents," he said. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

If I apply presidential logic, this means that America needs to secure *their* border? Because people are trying to get into Canada?

I grew up as a book-loving kid loving "the bookstore with the tree growing inside". I'm so thrilled that Little Miss A gets that same joy.

"fewer vehicles in lower Manhattan has led to a 51-percent decrease in injuries and a 55-percent decrease in crashes compared to the same 12-day period in January 2024."

Hey, American friends: This is a great watch. Worth the few minutes. Even as JT is stepping down, it’s a great explanation and a great moment of leadership.

They need to check if their carbon m'noxide detector is working

Little Miss A is stuffing her face with cheese and crackers before we bike down to the river for a toboggan walk. Drivers gave me even more passing room the way that I strapped the toboggan to the cargo bike. 😛

Something new today! A mom at daycare pickup asked tons of questions about winter biking with a toddler. Her husband biked to/from work today, she said, but they don’t have any of the little kid gear. Let the machinations begin!

Ps. I've been a broken record on egg prices, as well as many other food prices, being a result of the consolidation of food distributors as documented by @basel.bsky.social and @austinfrerick.bsky.social. This article about eggs during the Biden Admin is good: www.thesling.org/its-not-the-...

Another stellar daycare dropoff by #CargoBike. Winter cycling is a ton of fun. Slower than normal, but better than the alternative for my mental and physical health.

I’ve been talking to new cybersecurity person and we did a full who’s on first when I told him we all use 1Password and he thought I said that we all use one password

Liz and i checked out St-Hubert’s inclusive dining room initiative that launched in Ottawa on Sunday #autism ottawacitizen.com/news/local-n...

We met up with @lastghostbike.bsky.social while he’s in Winnipeg on his x-country bike ride! A winter bike ride on the Assiniboine River might be my favourite group ride yet. 😍

This was a great read of Lewis’ first week at Ferrari. Highly recommended for any #F1 fan, whether or not you’re team #LH44

8th Ave in midtown at 4:30pm. Congestion pricing ROCKS.

I couldn't find any good games for my password manager. So I made one. 1Crossword connects to your 1Password vault and generates a crossword entirely out of your passwords! The crosswords are fun, simple, and great for sharing on social media when you finish. Enjoy!

Severance continues to knock it out of the park with S2E2! The new title animation sequence is wonderfully full of mind terrors. Hit me with your conspiracy theories!

Of course, when Apple says that Severance episodes drop Fridays they really mean Thursday 8pm Central. Wow, episode 2 was great.

hi! @teenvogue.bsky.social has been a reliable outlet for strong political journalism since at min 2016 — which was *9* years ago! you don't need to be surprised each time you're impressed by our work! (maybe other outlets would respect us more if you didn't!) signed, 1/2 of Teen Vogue Politics

I found my new parking spot in Legislative Hall! 🚲

Really enjoying the fact that this piece I wrote pushing back on the myths and misinformation about cycling in the city is getting traction here in Toronto but also across North America. Appreciate having @activetowns.bsky.social amplify my work. h/t @spacing.bsky.social @uoft.bsky.social #BikeTO

I love my Bullitt because it's so versatile. As long as the goods to carry do not exceed ~200kg it can carry so much more than most smaller cars plus it's way more fun than driving

#31daysofwinterbiking Day 18 I'm headed to a social thingy! It is coooooooold at -30°C!

When resentful NIMBYs whine about “muh parking” and “muh congestion tax” they purposely ignore a significant constituency: bus riders. Single-passenger vehicles slow down buses to a crawl and make people late for work and appointments.
