"The 2026 World Cup is projected to be the hottest such tournament to be held since the quadrennial competition began in 1930." In Toronto today, extreme humidex conditions likely to reach 44C. Croatia vs Portugal at 7pm. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

"A new pipeline for a declining heavy oil industry – in a dangerously overheated world due to burning fossil fuels – would make no sense economically or environmentally." www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/lett...

"The Closed Casket ... The U.S. government has paid scant attention to how the size of vehicles affects the safety of pedestrians." Same thing is true in Canada. We've spoken to federal officials who prioritize harmony with the U.S. This also means watching road fatalities increase on Cdn roads.

I 🥰 all about new Biidaasige-Park in Toronto ("bee-dah-si-geh"= "sunlight shining towards us" in Anishinaabemovin): *cultural refs to land& heritage *integration of preexisting biotops& waterways *public facilities for outdoor activies,incl playgrounds & water springs *mobility concept Well done!!

"Today, SUVs and pickup trucks dominate the roads. Many are bigger than ever. And far deadlier, a New York Times investigation found. They are killing thousands of pedestrians who otherwise might have survived." #onpoli www.seattletimes.com/nation-world...

Tomorrow! Sat, June 27, 9am. Ride with us, support a great cause, enjoy some sugar-free popsicles, and get to know the new East Don Trail. Start at RV Burgess Park, 48 Thorncliffe Park Dr #biketo

"Instead of propping it up, we should let the Cdn auto sector phase out, as Australia did with their autosector, if the impending trade talks do not grant the industry relief. We should focus on pursuing our comparative advantage in other industries" #onpoli www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com...

Ride with us! Sat, June 27, 9am, RV Burgess Prk (48 Thorncliffe Park Dr, behind library) in support of a great cause - a summer camp for children with autism + discover new East Don Trail. Can't make it? Please donate to the Thorncliffe Park Autism Support Network. www.tpautismsupport.ca #biketo

Check out @graphicmatt.com excellent chart showing the surge in speeding with the removal of speed cameras.

Global warming is real, and even if this flips because of the AMOC collapse, that won't change that.

Urban heroes. Robert, David & Tim tuned up (that is to say, repaired) over 40 bikes at Saturday's Islington Bike Day at Mabelle Park in Etobicoke! #biketo

It’s a beautiful day in #Etobicoke Neighbourhoods. @bikewaysto.bsky.social is hosting the 3rd annual Islington Bike Day in Mabelle Park until 2pm. A neighbourhood bike tour starts at 1pm

Is your vehicle suited to city life? Here's a good way to measure it. (Diagonal parking spots on side street in The Kingsway, Toronto.) #onpoli

Jessie Ye of @bikewaysto.bsky.social recently prepared a graduate research report on cyclist safety in construction zones. A summary of her findings was published in @spacing.bsky.social. #BikeTO #TOpoli #VisionZero spacing.ca/toronto/2026...

The World Cup is happening in Toronto, and we thought the streets would be chaos. Were they? Well, not if you're on a bicycle! #BikeTO youtu.be/_hL6jfFqTEQ

“Americans fought for good mobility choices. Walking did not decline because people always preferred to drive. Walking declined because it was deterred, devalued and denormalized.” www.gaslitbycorporations.com/blog/the-car...

If you're like us, the bike racks on Halifax buses can be a little bit intimidating at first 😬 Luckily, Bike Again has a handy practice rack! Check out our instructional video and swing by 5664 Charles Street in Kjipuktuk/Halifax any time! 🚲️ 🚌 #Halifax #HalifaxTransit #Bikes #Cycling

Great to see the new protective barrier on the Millwood Rd/Leaside bridge. Good for pedestrians, good for cyclists, good for Toronto. @cyclingpedestrian.cityof.toronto.ca #biketo

Cycling in Toronto from the Bicycle Craze to Bike Share. Lively Bike Month discussion yesterday at Jane-Sheppard Public Library. Watch for future Wheeling through Toronto presentations. www.albertkoehl.ca/wheeling-thr... #biketo

“The Bullshit Asymmetry Principle, also known as Brandolini’s Law, states that the amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it.” Useful article. As we look at solutions though, our priority is demanding upstream leadership. #UrbanTruth

BIKES MAKE IT EASIER TO LIVE IN A CONGESTED CITY.

Great to ride with the Green Neighbours Network today on their Beltline ride. Thanks Mike Green + other organizers! #biketo

you know that feeling where you feel like you're taking up way more space than you ought to, and you're in everyone's way? you should feel that every time you're alone in a car

This is what 6 bikes and 6 cars looks like. Bloor Street, Toronto. Imagine planning cities for the former, instead of the latter. #onpoli #biketo

Sharing #dataviz with the SciArt Feed:

“Every $1300 New York invested in new bike-lanes in 2015 provided benefits equivalent to 1 added year of life at full health over the lifetime of all city residents.” Among many other benefits, bike-lanes are a really smart public health investment. #CityMakingMath www.reuters.com/article/busi...

New provincial proposals for modernizing e-bike rules are timely, writes @albertkoehl.bsky.social spacing.ca/toronto/2026...

Against all odds, Ontario might accidentally do something good for society in general, rather than just car drivers. Surely livable cities must be on the horizon too?!

We all want to see MORE cycling in our cities. Ontario's modernization proposals to the Highway Traffic Act offer a thoughtful way forward. Analysis by @albertkoehl.bsky.social + Muskan Fatima. #biketo spacing.ca/toronto/2026...

The long list of Doug Ford's attacks on local democracy ... Excellent article by TMU Prof Matti Siemiatycki. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

"... my money is being wasted. Ford should focus less on self-promotion and more on funding the public services Ontarians rely on." www.thestar.com/opinion/lett...

Totally avoidable. This one is on City Hall for its foot-dragging. We spend $13B to get people out of their cars with an underground LRT, but we end up with more room for motorists and no bike lane. Shameful. @cyclingpedestrian.cityof.toronto.ca

Memories of Radial Railways. There was streetcar service, or more aptly radial railway (interurban for the Yanks) along Kingston Rd in Toronto east end. It lasted until the 1930s, now all that remains are a few memories. #BlueSkyArtShow #EastCoastKin #UrbanGaze #Toronto #KingstonRoad #Scarborough

Yesterday, I was gratified to have my first ever column in The Guardian. It seems to have struck a nerve. For much of the day, it was the 2nd most-read opinion piece on the Guardian’s website. Read on... open.substack.com/pub/sethdkle...

A couple weeks ago we made it out for the Neon Riders' first ride of 2026 - the annual Cherry Blossom ride! #BikeTO youtube.com/shorts/tWp-T...

What brings more business to local merchants: parked cars or people? Even bike lane-haters like The Old Sod + The Crooked Cue in The Kingsway prefer live customers over dormant cars. #biketo #onpoli

About 125 people attended today's 3rd Annual Willowdale Community Bike Ride hosted by Councillor Lily Cheng and Peter Low with @bikewaysto.bsky.social providing ride marshals. My blog post about the ride is now up for your viewing pleasure. #BikeTO #TOpoli www.twowheeledpolitics.ca/2026/05/3rd-...

Willowdale Community Ride with Councillor Cheng & 120+ people of all ages riding 25km from Willowdale to downtown! @jasonthorne.bsky.social @bikewaysto.bsky.social @cycletoronto.bsky.social

Beautiful photos + videos by @lisastokes.bsky.social of Saturday's Lily Cheng Community Ride - 2026. Imagine if the families on this ride had CONNECTED trails so they could enjoy this affordable urban excursion on their own ... safely! lisastokes.ca/2026/05/lily...
