I walked along a few kms of College St this morning before 9am. Day care drop then carried on. Watched the people push and cycle their kids around, some dad on a cargo bike waved & said hi to some tweens walking in front of me. All very Sesame Street. And this gov't has contempt for it all.

Here's a practical way to respond to the climate crisis, lower air pollution, ease traffic congestion, and make public transportation more appealing and convenient. Iowa City's success story with its free buses shows this strategy can work in lots of other places, too. (Gift link)

Another reminder that 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

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

With the world heating up [and more pedestrians being killed], why are more SUVs being sold? “It’s the industry that has driven the demand through huge marketing & advertising campaigns in recent years. SUVs offered the industry a simple way of charging more for a vehicle that does the same thing.”

@bikewaysto.bsky.social launch of CLOSE THE LOOP campaign to close remaining 7 short gaps in 73km Toronto Loop. Today’s 50km ride with 20 hardy people (9C + 50km wind 💨 gusts) highlighted what could be! Keep in The Loop by signing up for newsletter www.communitybikewaysto.ca/events/closi...

Hey #BikeTO! @cycletoronto.bsky.social will be hosting a Bill 60 protest ride this Thursday. Leave 8 AM at Bloor & Spadina. #TOpoli #ONpoli #VisionZero www.cycleto.ca/bill_60_prot...

Early this morning, our city still plunged into darkness, I set off to walk the Brooklyn Bridge. As the sun came up, we were joined by canvassers, labor leaders, elected officials, and working people — a movement to bring a new day to our city. Tomorrow, we win it together.

Spooky season may be over, but we're not ready to move on; so here's a short video of The Great Pumpkin Pedaal Parade! @jsquaredink.bsky.social #Halloween #bikesky youtube.com/shorts/XN-BU...

I am sitting on a rock in a park. A “puppy” runs up to a cat on a leash barking. Owner said. Sorry. He’s okay. I say calmly. This is not an off leash park. She takes offence. “I’m trying my best to teach him off leash” go to an off leash park I say. More words. she exits saying fuck off to me. Why?!

One of the most powerful Atlantic storms on record, Hurricane Melissa has killed dozens of people and inflicted billions of dollars in damage. Warming made the deadly hurricane four times more likely, a new analysis finds.

Slow Down on Parkside Drive for ONE night!! #halloween 🦖

Speed cameras save money and lives and are used all over the globe. Why are saving lives and money so controversial? www.cbc.ca/news/world/s...

This is not good. Today's legislative session at Queen's Park could see Third Reading for Bill 56 - which calls for a ban on speed cameras - happen today. Hope some lawyers got recruited to fight this awful bill ASAP! #shame #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli #ONpoli #VisionZero www.ola.org/en/legislati...

Intersection Intervention OCTOBER 31 is statistically the most dangerous night of the year for people walking — using Toronto’s crosswalk infrastructure — THE BEG BUTTON - myself & more will cross Parkside Drive’s 7 intersections again & again. Count your steps to slow down Parkside Drive 1/2

Last night, I asked you to turn on your light if you’ve knocked on a door. Now I’m asking you to sign up for a shift. Take nothing for granted. We have a future to win. zohranfornyc.com/gotv

If only @toronto.ca would prioritize accelerating work on #TTC and #BikeTO projects as they have done with the Gardiner. Time to get their priorities straight! #TOpoli

Let this sink in… “At least one expert now predicting this could trigger greatest hunger catastrophe in the U.S. since the Great Depression.” 📌 The Dept of Agriculture posted a notice on its website saying federal food aid won’t go out on November 1.

We had some fun at yesterday Great Pumpkin Pedaal Parade!

When turning right, "attention is focused on oncoming traffic from their left — not on people walking across the street or waiting in the bike lane on their right. With their attention elsewhere, drivers are more likely to turn into people outside of cars who have the pedestrian signal to cross.”

“Ontario’s plan to ban bike lanes is ripped from the business lobby’s wish list. Buried in a new omnibus bill, the latest salvo in Doug Ford’s war on bikes is more than a vendetta—it’s a gift to corporate lobbyists.”

We’ll be there! Heather will be sweeper so she doesn’t try to race the kids. 😜👻🎃 #BikeTO

Doug Ford’s Ontario Govt plan to ban bike lanes “is ripped from the business lobby’s wish list…Ford’s war on bikes is more than a vendetta—it’s a gift to corporate lobbyists.” It’ll make Ontario’s cities weaker, less competitive, more polluted, & more dangerous for everyone. AND the traffic worse.

The first of two public consultations for Kingston Road is happening virtually TONIGHT at 7 PM following @cycletoronto.bsky.social's Bill 212 one year anniversary rally. There will also be an in-person consultation on Monday, October 27. #BikeTO #ScarbTO #TOpoli www.toronto.ca/community-pe...

A low-speed collision between two trains in the service yard shouldn’t be a huge deal, but given how overly cautious (and ridiculously tight lipped) Metrolinx has been, I don’t see the LRT opening until Spring 2026.

"As the father of a toddler, DeVito's biggest fear is unsafe roads. He knows firsthand how rambunctious young children can be and can see their lack of situational awareness at times. It also doesn't help that car crashes are one of the leading cause of death in children in Canada."

We are all susceptible to making errors while using our streets - drivers, cyclists, pedestrians - and we know that every km over the speed limit increases the risk of injury or death. So, why wouldn't we use speed cameras to help slow people down? Plus revenues are used to create safer streets.

On Parkside Dr. in Toronto: "It was previously known that the highest speeder was driving 154 km/h, but of the top ten caught, the lowest was 119 km/h, and 46 other drivers had been clocked driving over 100 km/h on that road. Parkside Drive has a 40 km/h speed limit." www.thestar.com/news/gta/wit...

"“We had flashing lights before we had automated speed enforcement. And through the introduction of automated speed enforcement, we’ve seen a much more significant safety improvement,” said a transportation staffer." Indeed.

"Parent groups in Toronto, Vaughan, Midland, Kitchener-Waterloo and Ottawa are holding demonstration events Monday morning, while another group held a protest in Toronto's east end on Saturday." #OnPoli

The 3rd Annual Bromptoberfest began with a folding contest at Pedaal Bikes & Coffee, then a pretzel-shaped ride around Toronto, stopping for a photo op at Love Park, then to Wvrst for food, and finally ending in Victoria Memorial Square for a picnic. #BikeTO #bikesky youtube.com/shorts/M_rg6...

Confirmed, the "Gaza peace deal" was the same deal offered to Netanyahu and the US repeatdly, but it was turned down by Israel because they wanted to gift Trump (Israeli asset) a perceived victory at the expense of the Israeli hostages and Gaza population.
