It has never been a better time to bike in Toronto, the best way to discover all the great public spaces designed for people. Thank you @jasonthorne.bsky.social @cyclingpedestrian.cityof.toronto.ca @safestreetsto.bsky.social for sharing your expertise and for your great work. 👏🏼 @pattybikes.com

Wonderful "Urban Discovery" #BikeTour today with Chief Planner @jasonthorne.bsky.social, Bike Mayor Alison Stewart, and many other special guests including Winnipeg's Bike Mayor @pattybikes.com, @kengreenberg.bsky.social & @cyclingpedestrian.cityof.toronto.ca staff.

This was such an amazing tour of the bike infrastructure in Toronto. Janice Lukes likes to threaten us saying “you’re lucky we’re not Toronto.” I dunno Auntie Janice. I’m pretty jealous of TO today.

Concerning new documents out for YongeTOmorrow that seems much less focused on pedestrianization. The project originally envisioned having portions of Yonge between College and Queen be at least partially pedestrianized. www.toronto.ca/wp-content/u...

Next weekend is International Women's Day and we'll be at the Femme Friendly Bike Fair. If you're in Toronto and interested in cycling but aren't sure how to start, come visit us! If you already bike and just like meeting others who bike, drop by to say hi! For more info: femmesandfriends.ca/events/

Toronto's bicycle mayor @alilabanane.bsky.social was recently featured on @biketalk.bsky.social talking about the upcoming Femmes & Friends bike fair on Sunday, March 8 (a.k.a. International Women's Day) and issues women face when cycling. #BikeTO #TOpoli biketalk.org/2026/02/26-0...

Thanks to the roughly 60 people who took part in Toronto's solidarity ride for Alex Pretti, as well as to the over 100 other cities around the world who also hosted rides. Here's a video I recorded as the ride passed by Queen's Park. #BikeTO #BikeSky #TOpoli #VikingBiking #StopICE

"You cannot in good faith stand up on Monday and say, 'Stop building shelters!' And then stand up on Thursday and say, 'Get everybody out of the encampments.' It is REPREHENSIBLE to do that," says Councillor Gord Perks of Brad Bradford's motion.

Councillor Myers: "Just so I have it clear, the city is paying $1.5 billion for these GO Train stations. Who's going to own these assets when they're complete?" The province, says staff. Myers: "So the City of Toronto has paid $1.5 billion to build assets for the province." Staff confirm, yes.

Well, well, well. 👀

This machine fights fascists.

Another thing that I do while driving is try to anticipate stuff. Could a jogger come from behind that hedge? Could that kid trip and fall onto the street? If yes, I slow down, watch carefully, and give lots of space. No, you don't have a right to a clear road. Yes, driving should be that hard.

Some politicians will say out loud that road deaths are the cost of doing business. MPP Ric Breese at the Bill 212 committee meeting said that we would need to slow cars to 5km/h to avoid all deaths, and of course we can't do that, so "there occasionally will be injuries".

Speed Kills. Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) is proven to work at reducing illegal speeding. www.progresstoronto.ca/petition-pro...

Drivers hate this one weird trick: matching the big number on the sign to the one on your dash. Ford wants to ban school-zone cameras + fund “a million ways” later. Great! Build them now. Don’t switch off the only thing lowering speeds today.

Best news of the day for us people who bike! Ford government's attempt to remove Toronto bike lanes is unconstitutional, judge rules www.thestar.com/news/gta/for... #topoli #onpoli #bikeTO

This is huge huge huge! Congrats to the wonderful team at @cycletoronto.bsky.social!!!

This, by the way, is also the answer to people snarking "there's a Charter right to bike lanes now?" No, and the decision doesn't say there is. The government can still cause you bodily harm, the Charter only asks them to present the barest evidence-based case that it's needed.

Really cannot overstate the extent to which the court was impatient with the total lack of evidence presented by the government.

👇🏼In an otherwise super bleak news cycle let’s savour this victorious moment. Justice has been served. The Ford government’s targeted removal of 3 bike lanes is unconstitutional!! 💃🏻😻✊🏼🚲 #ONpoli #BikeTO

#Breaking: Doug Ford government's attempt to remove Toronto bike lanes unconstitutional, judge rules

This is great news 📰 for Montréal and creates a case study for Toronto to model. 🚲😻

👇🏼Thank you @momentummag.bsky.social for the in-depth overview of @cycletoronto.bsky.social Pathways to mobility project - an excellent community collaboration that will lead to more folks biking. #BikeTO #PublicHealth #TOpoli

If you've read this article and want to learn more about Alison Stewart check out @pattybikes.com podcast interview with her, dropping tomorrow! youtu.be/iOD7nZXN1x0?...

Another win 🚲 www.thestar.com/news/gta/cou...

A win is a win! 👏 After the Ford government’s attempt to appeal, the court has ruled in favour of upholding a temporary injunction first granted in April 2025. In other words, Ontario continues to be prevented from removing 3 major bike lanes on Yonge, University, and Bloor in Toronto.

📰🚨 The Ontario government lost its appeal: the 3 targeted bike lanes for removal will remain untouched until a final ruling is made by Justice Schabas. Shout out to @ecojusticecanada.bsky.social @cycletoronto.bsky.social #BikeTO #ONpoli #TOpoli

Career highlight: developing and implementing the Pathways to mobility project to advance #CycleToronto mission & expand mobility options & health of older adults 65+. Listen to one of our facilitators & community partners speak about how older adults can take up biking www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

Tonight while out biking in the Don Valley I bumped into @dylanreid.bsky.social on his way to remove invasive plants. I cherish the trail system and am so thankful nature stewards and community advocates like Dylan contribute to making our city 🏙️ a wonderful, greener and more equitable « mess ». 👏🏼😻

We're holding a protest against specific businesses we've identified as having significant ties to the anti-bike-lane movement. We continue to support local businesses that are not contributing to the deaths of cyclists. We hope to see you there, July 5 at High Park!

We have the data & need to make decisions using it, not catering to NIMBYs. Toronto needs transit priority on every main street. This is Bus 20 going east on Danforth at 6h40 pm last night. @ttcriders deserve better. 👉🏼 I’m thankful I got @BikeShareTO e-bike on my return trip!

👇🏼The words of wisdom from a 10 year old: “Bikes don’t cause congestion, 🚗 do. Mayor, I understand this issue better than you do.” 💯👏🏼🫶🏼🚲😻

Notable back-and-forth between @lanrickbennett.bsky.social and Councillor Paula Fletcher here. Lanrick makes good argument for protected bike lanes on Jones Ave, as previously approved by council. Fletcher says that plan takes away too many parking spaces. beachmetro.com/2025/06/05/i...

Happy World Bicycle Day! It's a beautiful day (and any day) in Toronto to ride a bike. #WorldBicycleDay2025 #WorldBicycleDay #CleanMobilityCollective🚲😃😎 Thank you @BYCS_org for bringing people around the 🌎 to accelerate cycling in cities. youtu.be/3JOnpXk7zn0?si…

A key aspect. Who is bearing all of these costs? It seems many have just accepted that, yes, these the are people whose lives should pay the price for my parking convenience. #RapidTO

👇🏼Despite all the political and legislative insanity, there has never been a better time to bike in Toronto. For trips up to 5km it is THE most expedient way - and most affordable way! It is also the most enjoyable. 🚲😻 #BikeTO #ONpoli www.bikemonth.ca/toronto

👇🏼The 2026 Toronto Municipal election 🗳️ is already shaping up to be a circus. 🎪 www.qpbriefing.com/news/brad-br...

We like to respond to "No one uses the bike lanes" with lots of data showing people do actually! But there's also a double standard: there are oceans of rural roads and cul de sacs that are used by extremely few cars, yet we don't question that they should exist or be maintained. #OBS2025

Listened to @pattybikes.com on her new podcast this morning, fantastic! Looking forward to new episodes including her first guest, @sgoodyear.bsky.social from @thewaroncars.bsky.social ! Great job Patty but one request? I want to hear more Portuguese! 🇧🇷 www.pattybikes.com/podcast

👇🏼We’re in quite a conundrum: Premier Ford is blocking complete streets with bike lanes which save lives. He thinks ticketing drivers who speed is unfair. He is also against keeping public parks (public), the greenbelt and protecting endangered species. His slogan “Ontario, Yours to Park & Drive” 🙈

Tomorrow we ride. Meet at 6pm. Bring lights and good vibes. Event details: www.facebook.com/share/1B45SD...

👇🏼Claiming "Bike lanes restrict road space," & ‘have turned streets into parking lots’ is ⛽️ lighting at its finest. Bike lanes expand ridership to women, children & seniors. The bike lanes on Mill St & Esplanade E are proof. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
