"we’re a carsick city + the sickness seems to be getting worse. I say “seems” because I’m not sure how to quantify the vibe change I’ve witnessed in the past decade, as a person who drives, rides a bike, walks + takes public transit." @lizrenzetti.bsky.social www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Hey #BikeTO! @bikewaysto.bsky.social will be hosting a 72 km ride along the Loop Trail on Sunday, April 19. Meet 9 AM in front of Fix Coffee + Bikes @ The Well (486 Front St W) & please e-mail [email protected] to register. #TOpoli #VisionZero www.instagram.com/communitybik...

At “The Future of E-Bikes” ft. @bikewaysto.bsky.social tonight - @albertkoehl.bsky.social explained many complex issues 🔋🚲! My take: ‘bikes’ with ‘throttle’ need much stricter regulation + higher speed/weight ‘motorcycle/moped’ devices should require a licence 🏍️🛵 Thx Fix Coffee+Bikes for hosting!

For sidewalk winter maintenance especially after major snow events, definitely. And let's make sure it also applies to bike lanes to compensate folks like @bikewaysto.bsky.social volunteers for their efforts. 🫡❄️

"This is not just a terrible decision that will increase mistrust of public officials, it’s a breathtaking act of hypocrisy. Didn’t Ford brag about having 'the most transparent, the most accountable' caucus ever? 'Transparency for thee, but not for me.'" www.thestar.com/opinion/star...

"Technology makes it easy to forget there are actual humans who make the food and bring it to us. Indeed there is a dehumanizing aspect to it all." Great article by @shawnmicallef.bsky.social www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

"No ICE in Toronto" Hear hear Mayor Chow! www.torontotoday.ca/local/city-h...

A cyclist was seriously injured at Eglinton & Oakwood last night. Now that the Eglinton Crosstown LRT is open, the #BikeTO community deserves to know WHEN will the long promised bike lanes on that street be installed? #shame #TOpoli #VisionZero CC www.cp24.com/local/toront...

Epicycles are not confined to Ptolemaic astronomy. In its driving distance and driving time estimates, Google Maps leaves this part out.

"Like any Ontarian who cherishes their right to drive to their community mailbox <100m from their front door, I have a profound fear of bikes + the dangerous weirdos who ride them" Funny piece by comedian @clareblackwood.bsky.social #biketo www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

👀 👀 👀 “The mayor has asked Transport for London to undertake detailed analysis of the safety risks posed by large SUVs and their wider impact on London’s roads. This could then inform any future policy proposals in London or recommendations to government or the sector.”

Velo Canada Bikes Alert: $500M in Federal Infrastructure Funding at Risk Contact Your MP Today #cycling #ebike #cargobikes #safecycling tinyurl.com/46c4tcwr

50+ MPs contacted! 🇨🇦 A massive thank you to the cycling community for stepping up. We need one final push to protect the $500M Active Transportation Fund for the 2026 season. If you haven’t emailed your MP yet, please do so by Friday! 🚲 (1/2)

Amy Cohen went on a 100-hour hunger strike to pass Sammy's Law. But the Adams administration only implemented it on less than 2% of eligible streets. @mayor.nyc.gov Mamdani, we're counting on you to save lives by bringing slower, safer speed limits to streets across New York City.

Hey @pierrepoilievremp: Too bad we "axed the (carbon) tax" -- instead of weaning ourselves off fossil fuels. Now we're at the mercy of combatants in the war in Iran. #onpoli

While Trump's strikes on Iran are sending oil markets into chaos, China is cashing in. China has spent years building a clean energy economy precisely to insulate itself from moments like this.

Worried about the high cost of living + rising fuel prices? Ride a bike! #biketo #onpoli www.thestar.com/business/you...

NEW: Mamdani's City Hall is discussing charging fees for currently free on-street parking — a policy change that would not only create a new revenue stream but also seize a once-in-a-generation opportunity to improve the streetscape. buff.ly/9C0Iq34

A collaboration between TTC + Bike Share Toronto would offer a great option during subway closures on Bloor-Danforth. Instead, @ttcriders.bsky.social suffer the indignity of being crammed into shuttle buses stuck behind single-occupant cars. There must be a better way! #onpoli @mayoroliviachow.ca

“The more people ride in street cars the more space it leaves for me.”

"Bike lanes, like roads, sidewalks and mass transit, are integral elements of our transportation system. When these investments are buried under snow, Torontonians are shortchanged." www.thestar.com/opinion/cont... #biketo #onpoli

T.O. residents shouldn’t worry about the slow pace of snow clearing. After all, the city appears to have adopted a sure-fire method to clear our clogged streets. It’s called waiting for spring" - Ron Brown, Letters to Editor, today's Star

Thanks to @bikewaysto.bsky.social volunteers! @toronto.ca response's been …disappointing, optics being priority for cars/trucks.

Three week after the big snowstorm & there are still some bike lanes that were blocked including parts of Bloor in Koreatown! Today, I helped Albert & @bikewaysto.bsky.social clear the bike lane before doing errands in the area. #BikeTO #TOpoli #VikingBiking www.twowheeledpolitics.ca/2026/02/tcbc...

E-BIKES: Lively presentations + discussion at Curbside Cycle with Community Bikeways. Why we love e-bikes. Why we need them. And why reforms are needed to keep growing cycling in T.O. (Photo by Dani Griscti) #biketo

Going car-free is the best thing most people can do for climate. To reduce car dependency, cities should promote car-free living, supporting compact cities through policy, and investing in public transportation, pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure, and shared mobility options.

The new auto strategy looks a lot like the old auto strategy. Auto industry holds out its hand. Government puts money in it. #onpoli www.thestar.com/opinion/edit...

“It’s such a small project ... it is amazing it has taken so long." A rare occasion when we wholeheartedly agree with local councillor Nunziata. #biketo www.thestar.com/news/gta/it-...

Tues, Feb 10, 7pm at Curbside Cycle - a discussion abt e-bikes. We love them .. but let's push for regulatory changes that ensure the continuing growth of cycling. #biketo #onpoli www.eventbrite.ca/e/e-bikes-an...

"The only two countries in the world where EV sales didn’t rise? Canada + the United States." A bad time to be emulating Trump's America @mark-carney.bsky.social www.thestar.com/news/canada/...

Now arriving ... an exciting moment for Toronto! The Eglinton LRT is now on the move. #onpoli

“It is not viable to have a functional city if everyone moves in cars, it just takes too much space. The math doesn’t work.” Well-said @shoshannasaxe.bsky.social #onpoli www.thestar.com/news/gta/the...

"...choices have to be made, priorities determined. The choice not to clear many sidewalks and bike lanes is one Mayor Olivia Chow must wear. Something failed here. If the policy is the problem, change the policy." - Globe editorial #biketo Right on!

"the Crosstown has been an orgy of buck-passing, blame-shifting, money-blowing incompetence that has somehow managed to stagger on, unfinished for more than 15 yrs." A frank assessment by @thestar.com editorial board www.thestar.com/opinion/edit...

The War on Cars, welcome to Toronto! We are so excited to be in the city that inspired the podcast's title. We’ll see you at our LIFE AFTER CARS show on Thursday, Feb 5th, hosted by @cycletoronto.bsky.social. Who knows? Maybe we can convince Doug Ford to come. boxoffice.hotdocs.ca/websales/pag...

"Premier Ford fails to mention the colossal public bailout of the Cdn branch plants of GM + Chrysler during the 2009 financial crisis + massive, ongoing gov't subsidies. The auto industry is repaying us by heavily marketing expensive, absurdly sized pickups that are more dangerous to pedestrians..."

"The imminent arrival of Chinese EVs to the Cdn market is a jolt of reality for DougFord. He’s spent much of his premiership meddling in municipal affairs, notably speed cameras, bike lanes + TO’s mayoral race. Now he faces issues that should actually concern him..." www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Further to the video I recorded at Queen's Park, my blog post about the ride with some additional photos is now up for your viewing pleasure. #BikeTO #BikeSky #TOpoli #VikingBiking #StopICE www.twowheeledpolitics.ca/2026/01/soli...

"Road safety should not be ideological. The data is clear. The solutions are known. And the cost of inaction is not abstract — it is measured in futures erased, in love with nowhere to go, and in grief that never resolves" - Vanessa Gentile #biketo #onpoli www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

On Saturday, cyclists across Canada + the U.S. demonstrated their solidarity against the callous Trump dictatorship. #biketo #iceviolence #onpoli ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/222...

It’s the big day! The appeal hearing @cycletoronto.bsky.social’s successful Bill 212 case is being heard at Ontario’s Court of Appeal. Time permitting I’ll try and live post the proceedings, like I did for the Ottawa convey injunctions back when #lawtwitter was a thing.

Ford is still out to maim people who bike today, appealing the court case he lost over his harmful plan of removing protected bike lanes. Win it for the people @cycletoronto.bsky.social! toronto.citynews.ca/2026/01/28/t... #topoli #onpoli #bikeTO
