Thaaaaats why they built that Wellington Connector

coming down the bike lane, just as you come around the curve south of the roundabout, Halifax looks like a real city of some sort

Lower Water Street: a contract to upgrade the street (including the bikeway) was awarded in July 2025 and construction was supposed to begin last month. Nothing has started as far as I can tell. #BikeHfx

Upper Water Street, Halifax (2022 vs. yesterday)

This week we’re back to a classic - Point Pleasant Park! Hopefully no gloves required this time 🤞

Good morning #bikehfx, it’s a beautiful day to ride a bike.

#hfxws much nicer this morning than expected! signs of the South Park bike lane re-emerging at Inglis. #bikhfx

dodging potholes, and ducking drivers sigh #bikehfx #bikesky @cycliq.bsky.social

from yesterday, video of a pedestrian running out the way to avoid being struck on a marked crosswalk, in broad daylight (Victoria Road, Dartmouth) No amount of high vis and pedestrian care can prevent this. www.facebook.com/reel/1991012...

god i love voir dire. average people will just say wild ass shit to a judge utterly unprompted. it’s so beautiful.

New spot this week! Join us Thursday, May 14th in the BRUNSWICK STREET SIP LANE (credit to @bikehfxlobby.bsky.social for the name) #bikehfx

The #KidicalMassHfx prompted motion to engage kids in transportation planning is on the agenda for Halifax Regional Council today. Tune in (sometime after 10am) to find out which council members don't really care about our kids. www.youtube.com/live/HtmavQV...

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.

Hey #bikehfx - want to brush up on roadside bike maintenance? I’m running a free workshop with @cyclehalifax.ca this Thursday - with a few spots still open: www.eventbrite.ca/e/bike-maint...

Heads up, #BikeHfx! Starting May 18, a ton of buses are going to be using Almon St between Windsor & Connaught, instead of Bayers Rd, for the next 2 years. There are already temporary bus stops in place. I think we’ll likely lose the WB bike lane divider west of Windsor but that’s a guess.

#hfxws the fog smells like the ocean

Great idea. Take the bus, walk or bike, that will show 'em

Caught our new #BikeHfx sweeper on Hollis out for its very first sweep!

you have almost nothing to gain from spending money on self-help or body optimization books and courses. most supplements and health topics are bogus. but universal healthcare would meaningfully extend your probable lifespan.

funniest thing i’ve ever seen

He has risen baby girl!

It is time once again for @bikeagainhfx to gather up & have their 🚲 SPRING SALE 🚲 So spring is here — and it is time to get a “new to you” bike! Come on down on 🗓️ May 2nd (rain date: May 3rd) 📍 Bike Again, Halifax And gear on up for the season and get rolling. www.instagram.com/bikeagainhfx...

In response to NIMBY sentiment, Halifax planners are proposing to frustrate the development of missing-middle housing. If you care about making Halifax more inclusive, please write your councillor. We don't need more arbitrary setback and design requirements. We need more housing.

this is a terrible survey (a hint: do not say "improve" in a question where you are asking if people like and idea or not) but it is also really important to fill out and you have my permission to use a lot of upper case and exclamation marks

Please take some time to fill out the centre plan survey. Please fight back against this absolutely ridiculous way to frame building more homes in our country. engagehalifax.ca/centre-plan-...

Starfish Properties is a virus that is killing Downtown Halifax

Good to see the lane sweeper out in action this morning on Devonshire #bikehfx

Great group! Great ride! #tides #bikehfx Spotted @nickpiers.bsky.social on the bridge! ✌️

A cop drove right past this guy and did nothing. When I flagged the cop down and asked him about it, he drove away.

8/10 A suspected grocery theft became a damaged police vehicle, a damaged bicycle, a damaged public street, at least one person hospitalized, and a neighbourhood put at risk. That is not efficient. That is not proportionate. That is not public safety.

The first #KidicalMassHfx ride of the season is on Sunday! The forecast is currently calling for showers, so, as a reminder: we don’t do rain dates. That means that we’re pretty likely to take on risk of showers, rather than cancel. We’ll update by 7:30am if the ride is cancelled.

This is how many thousands of dollars in damages to public property? How much more in healthcare costs? For what? Galen Weston's steak?

what made Halifax less safe for the average person today? (maybe) someone stealing food? the police driving an SUV the wrong way down a one way street and crashing it into a telephone pole?

Eyewitness accounts in the immediate wake of disaster and violence are often TERRIBLY inaccurate. And within hours, people will have talked and spread enough conflicting narratives that everybody's "memories" are at least like 30% cobbled together after-the-fact.

I think we should do this at the rotary as A Warning

All ready for tomorrow's litter clean-up at Allan and Harvard (I think). #BikeHfx

I want to write more about what people living off the peninsula need in transit etc to get out of their cars. It’s a different picture. I know this myself. After I moved off the peninsula getting around was tougher. Anyway, message me if you have thoughts.

I'd like to hear from Nova Scotian provincial and Canadian federal employees who have been directed to use AI in their workplace. I want to know specifics, and how that's working out. DM me.

“I never go downtown it’s too hard to find parking” what if you had a downtown too. it’s allowed!

Someone on Facebook complained that the effort we spent holding a funeral for a raccoon-shaped traffic cone would have been put to better use picking up litter. We can do that too – meet at the diverter this Saturday. #BikeHfx
