I was playing catch with my 4 year old the other day on the sidewalk when this pickup parked next to us. These vehicles don't belong in neighborhoods.

some people do still move their legs while motoring on an ebike, i've seen it even

Oh FFS! But danm, what an effort and SH goal by #PWHLVictoire #GoCharge Don't give up!

And if the east end is too far to go for you (or you want back to back weekends of family biking fun) - the Move & Groove team are holding their third annual glow ride with their first ever family ride early in the evening. June 6 in Vanier #OttBike

Damn, seems like the only way to score on these goalies is a deflection. #Charge #Victoire #PWHLFinals #GoCharge

Quote with a fictional band that is not Spinal Tap.

A driver hit an 11-year old child in a crosswalk in Bedford on Monday and drove off. What sort of person does that? More details: www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... #VisionZero #RoadSafety

Not to cause a panic, but a human-sized sinkhole has materialized in the Glebe Ottawa Police have shut down O’Connor between First and Glebe Ave

The infinite glory of tree canopies. & some cute umbrellas.

OC Transpo is driving people, well to drive themselves. #ottpoli #OCTranspo

There's a sinkhole on O'Connor between Glebe and First. I'm willing to bet it's because if the watermain break recently. Pedestrians and cyclists can still pass on the West side. Drivers need to find another option.

These headlines make it sound like the truck chose to crash.

Twice in the last 24 hours, a driver has turned directly into my path and then told me that they saw me, and decided to turn into me anyway. The second time I was very visibly carrying my child. Absolutely unhinged behavior. I'm so, so tired.

This year Round 3 is starting May 20th and round 4 the 1st week of June.

Heads up #ottbike, it's apparently turtle nesting season. Saw this truly enormous beauty on the Rideau River path near Carleton. Keep an eye out!

Really! Really? Really. ca.news.yahoo.com/oc-transpo-c...

It's a pretty big outage. Power just came back on, but it did that earlier for a minute and went out again. Hope it stays on and others are back up as well. #Ottawa #PowerOutage #HydroOttawa

Hometown girl Rebecca Leslie comes up big for the Charge tonight. 🙌 #OttawaCharge #PWHLFinals

First pickup truck I've seen in China and it's, of course, blocking the sidewalk.

🛑 thinking that “bike lanes“ are just for “cyclist” Riding or rolling, people use this infrastructure to prioritize their safety as vulnerable road users from drivers. If your current or future elected municipal rep isn’t discussing NOW about expanding THIS, find someone else to VOTE for. #TOPoli

Something needs to be done about these autonomous vehicles that crash into buildings.

A *motorist* crashed into a grocery store, you buffoons.

Do you know why there is a speed bump? Because drivers can't help but drive dangerously next to this elementary school Do you know why there are flex posts next to the speed bump? Because drivers would avoid the speed bump and use the bike lane to continue their dangerous driving

Next month we're trying something new... 1 suburb, 4 rides. Orléans June 13: Fallingbrook, Greater Avalon, Convent Glen & Chatelaine Village @theneworleans.bsky.social @bikeottawa.bsky.social @forourkidsog.bsky.social

These signs. 🤦 Even after accessibility and safety upgrades at this intersection. I mean, they even contravene the HTA, which requires motorists to yield to pedestrians at unmarked crosswalks. I really hope there is a culture shift after the next municipal election wrt improving🚶‍♀️♿🚲 mobility.🤞🤞

@helps.octranspo.com On Friday I noticed that the accessibility button at the South Keys station (west side, ground level heading out towards LRT and pathway) didn't work. I just remembered now to report it.

Sneaking a giant screen into the flagshagger march is one of the funniest things @ledbydonkeys.org have ever done. "STAY HYDRATED" 😂🤣😂

Kinda sucks that bike theft is a major problem and deterrent to biking in a way that car theft just is not. I could drive downtown and know pretty much for sure that the car will be there when I’m done. Not so much with a bike.

Fiets - bike Bakfiets - cargo bike Anything dog related is "barkfiets".

This is so good! Celebrate bike joy. www.youtube.com/shorts/iAsjQ... #unsprawling #yycbike

"But what if you need to haul a water heater?!"

"All Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend participants receive free transit on OC Transpo services on race weekend. How do I use free transit? Show your race confirmation to the operator when boarding a bus. If using the O-Train, follow event signage or staff directions." www.runottawa.ca/torw/plan/ge...

I couldn't help but to notice that flattened sign by a reckless pedestrian or cyclist right where you're walking at the start of the video.

Some things we can learn from this: - posted speed limits are basically meaningless - speed camera enforcement works

I was having a great day. I delivered a powerful speech that I wrote myself. I coached softball. I had a yummy curry. I advanced an important policy piece. I did 10,000+ steps. And then, my daughter asked me to take her to Shopper’s Drugs so that she could use my 20% Seniors Day Discount.

Every bike needs a bubble blowing attachment

Strange how so many will shame people on bikes for not wearing helmets yet don’t have much to say about bike lanes without protection. Via @thebikinglawyer.bsky.social

I found this funny. Two kids biking with dolls in miniature child seats on the back of their bikes.

The City of Ottawa posted the raw speed data from before and after Doug Ford banned speed cameras and the effect is so obvious it's not even necessary put a line marking when that happened. This chart shows the percentage of drivers going 15km/h or more over the posted limit.

The problem started well before Mother's Day. So two of the last 5 months, driver was suspended. Parents had the power to not let them use the car for much longer. I wonder what the suspension will be when (if) this ever gets to court. www.ctvnews.ca/ottawa/artic...

First pickup and haul on the ebike didn’t disappoint.

Stay on the Main Quest, or do Side Quests? Why not both?

Here, a friend demonstrates that attaching a bicycle stand to block paving has some pitfalls.

The most INSANE Bohemian Rhapsody Flashmob you will ever see!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfUE...

A great video from @ohtheurbanity.bsky.social, on how we treat traffic crimes differently than any other crime. We set laws, then let people violate them, even though we know it causes safety issues, and costs lives. And we never redesign the roads to reduce speeding.

People on Facebook probably: ThEsE eBiKeS aRe OuT oF cOnTrOl!!!
