Drivers: I couldn’t see you, it was raining Drivers: I couldn’t see you, there was frost on my windows Drivers: I couldn’t see you, it was dark Drivers: I couldn’t see you, the sun was in my eyes Also drivers: I never see anyone using that bike lane, let’s rip it out.

A Massa Crítica dessa sexta em São Paulo vai ser divertida, hein? Vamos festejar! Você que é livre, não tem tornozeleira e não pedala com fascista, cola na bicicletada e vamos transitar em julgado pela noite paulistana. Aqui ninguém solda a mão de ninguém!

This - and we have to let them be independent. Constant parental supervision is making kids anxious and afraid. Part of growing up is learning from mistakes and independence.

Critics of speed cameras challenge the claim that compliance lowers accidents and injuries Below are #OttCity collisions within 30s of a camera and normalized to age of camera (-'ve = prior install) Collisions and injuries dropped. Will they go up again? Tx for helping @sjamieit.bsky.social

Everything Ford touches dies. #FordFailures are stacking up as a mountain now. #Ontario avoids public hearings on bills; 1 would boost education minister's powers Ford government also fast-tracking a housing bill that critics say will hurt renters www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Canada’s debt is modest, self-financed, and stable. Yet we are told to accept austerity as the “responsible” path forward. Deficit panic is really a strategy to limit what’s politically imaginable—universal services, public housing, and climate action.

I am putting a whole lot less effort into this Halloween business. But I present "A fish on a bicycle". Now you can say you saw one. #hamont #Halloween2025 #bikelife

"any distance is walkable as long as it's from a parked car"

More evidence that promoting alternatives transportation modes has to be the primary goal, rather than just substituting one heavily polluting car for another almost as polluting one on our streets #CarBrain #SustainableTransport www.theguardian.com/environment/...

“Bike lanes create cyclists because they largely eliminate the risk of being crushed by careless or aggressive suv drivers.” - @dlknowles.bsky.social Seems like a reasonable ask to our elected municipal reps here in #TOpoli E-bikes are #SustainableUrbanVehicle 🚲 #ThisMachineFightsClimateChange

“Even temporarily, seeing what happens when the cars stop can prompt a powerful shift in people’s perceptions about the potential uses of street space … Laughter rings out. Why have we prioritised cars, parked or moving, over people?" #worldcarfreeday www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

You’re much closer to becoming disabled or homeless than you are to becoming rich and wealthy. It’s not a moral failing. It’s not something you can “try harder” your way out of. We need robust social supports & safety nets to ensure everyone is properly cared for.

Argghh ..my late mate sent me a message from the argh beyond.. it made me and de parrot cackle!

Incredible to see this billboard up in Vancouver. So happy to have worked with the amazing people @visionzerovancouver.ca visionzerovancouver.ca/2025/08/02/d...

"There's no room for a bike lane here" yes there is, it's hiding underneath the parking.

Very thoughtful take from a pastor on road design: "A car-centered community is a community designed around its wealthiest and able-bodied members." Robin L. Owen faithandleadership.com/what-do-the-...

No fewer than half of all trips in Delft are made by bike, a success replicated in cities and towns across the country. But the Dutch blueprint for urban vitality was forged on these streets decades ago, when the strategic decision was made to build a network and to build it as quickly as possible.🧵

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them. Via @usa.streetsblog.org @nyc.streetsblog.org

“Safety and space at risk as SUVs reach 30% of car market in English cities, researchers warn. Campaigners call for Paris-style parking charges amid fears big vehicles are taking up excessive public space.” Cities need smart, specific strategies to manage vehicle size. It’s about space & safety.

Critical Mass is tomorrow and I’m bringing the big speaker on behalf of #KidicalMassHfx, so currently testing out its karaoke capabilities and mulling over playlists for the ride 😏

WTH is with this headline? "2 hospitalized in apparent chain-reaction pedestrian crash" No mention of the part that driver in a car hit them. It's like saying "Wall falls on person sitting bedside it in freak accident" when driver crashes into a building.

Same outlet three days ago. Gross. youtu.be/loZEg3PRHR8

In a rare turn of events, a local TV station (Edmonton) does a positive segment on bike lanes: www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjKp...

What do we have here? A car INDEPENDENTLY hit an elderly pedestrian who domino-ed into another elderly pedestrian. Bet you gathered that from the headline, right? Nope. www.hawaiinewsnow.com/2025/08/25/2...

Hey Ontarioans who bike and also have high blood pressure. Join me so we can balance out the drivers!

I haven’t seen it illustrated like this before. Very effective messaging. Of course it actually depends a lot on how fast the vehicle’s being driven, how big the vehicle is and how it’s designed, and how small the victims (too often kids) are. Via @yegbike.bsky.social #SpeedKills #CarBloat

Ah...June. A month in my country that celebrates both PRIDE and Bicycle Riders. And brings out the most ridiculous claims about both groups of ppl. Usually not based on any science.🙄 You know, ppl just want to be happy. #BikeMonth #Pride

It's one of the most common — and frustrating — questions a bike advocate can get: are you pro- or anti-helmet?

I left my cave and have taken up selling travelling cheese at Ottawa Street's #SewHungry. Stop by and say hello. #hamont

Ok - do I tromp over to the dog park like I usually do or play hooky and search for morels? Serious poll question. Please answer in next hour. #hamont #mushroomsarecalling

Was showing a friend from France around London last month. She was horrified how much traffic and parking clogs central London. In Soho: "Why isn't this all pedestrianised with deliveries early morning?" Why indeed!!?

a parking emergency.

There is something deeply absurd about the modern pedestrian crossing. You press the beg-button and then you wait. And wait. And wait. Interminable wait times reveal a deeper pathology. The pedestrian is, at best, an afterthought - at worst, an obstruction. www.eta.co.uk/news/pedestr...

Today, Tuna & I joined the small but mighty crowd of bike riders with canine backpacks. We ordered a K9 Sport Sak!!! Stay tuned for adventures! #hamont #bikelife

“In short, our streets have been flooded with cars that are bigger, wider, taller, and more dangerous for not just people in their immediate surroundings but also for the environment” voice.cymru/an-epidemic-...

We are all worried about effective climate change action, & mitigating urban heat. So why, in a Council meeting today, do the engineers propose to get rid of street trees to allow occasional heavy vehicle traffic to pass a garbage truck picking up rubbish… during that 5 mins/week Everyday stupidity!

It's nice when your favorite donut shop also has amazing politics. Stop by Coffee Time in Salem tomorrow and spend all your cash on paczki!

It's with sadness that I share that my partner Daniel left for his final ride on Tuesday. He went in peace & comfort. Somewhere out there he is biking with a crew of Spiderman fans with an incredible tailwind at their backs. Ride free, Daniel, ride free ... #ldnont #hamont

Nothing like a big snowfall to lay bare our prioritization of cars over people. Days after the snow, being a pedestrian in Toronto — on a public TDSB property — means navigating a dangerous, slippery maze. What a walk to class for the kids at Keele Street Public School…

Ontario Election CHCH in Hamilton over the past week has been doing profiles of each of the ridings in their viewing area. Time after time, the PC candidate has been too busy to appear on camera. That speaks volumes about Ontario PC Party and their candidates in the Hamilton Niagara area

We used to be a real country. On a related note, listening to conservative councillors in #HamOnt argue *against* bike lanes because "we are a cold weather climate" while also being absolutely dog shit at dealing with cold weather climates is frustrating. Congrats, you suck at all-season admin 😮‍💨

Great turn out for a beautiful @cyclehamilton.bsky.social Winter 🚴‍♂️ Day with #HamOnt's amazing active transportation community! Great to see @craigcassar.bsky.social, @cameronkroetsch.bsky.social @sarahjama.bsky.social @lucia-ianna.bsky.social @petertopo.bsky.social @thebikinglawyer.bsky.social!

I’ll say it again. What makes this platform different is that it’s moderated. And, The Terms of Service are enforced. Bluesky is not like Twitter The world needs a platform where people who disagree can have a real discussion.
