Yes. Yes it can. "Many families find that the e-bike pays for itself within the first year or two simply by allowing them to avoid buying or replacing a second vehicle." electrek.co/2026/06/03/c...

NYC is the only place I've ever been where someone will confront you about THEIR illegal parking.

Here’s a SERIOUS question. What if our property tax system was actually fair, and was based on public costs actually incurred to support housing? What if low density housing had to pay its way, rather than being subsidized by responsible infill housing? What if we stopped incentivizing sprawl?

I have zero patience for this. Somebody will die from this behavior. FedEx is a big company. I hope they get sued out of existence. @bikegridnow.org @bikelaneuprising.bsky.social

What if you had to take your drivers test at least every 10 years? A lot changes over time. Including knowledge/memory of the road rules, driver skills and ability, and the size and deadliness of vehicles.

Needs a seperated bike lane before someone is killed.

Posted this on @bikelaneuprising.bsky.social but can no longer find the pin b/c there’s been just too many obstructions reported there! Funny, not funny…🤦‍♂️ #yycbike

Given the recent police violence perpetrated against a cyclist on Queen's Quay, TPS' statement in support of that violence and the silence from City Hall, it's probably time we ride. Strength in numbers. Bring friends. Share widely. Ride bikes.

I was told no one uses the 7 st cycle track?? 🧐 #yycbike

When you commute on a rainy morning, sometimes you get to see what few others do! #yycbike

An example of a real, actual avid cyclist.

when I tell people I can't leave the house by myself I don't necessarily mean that I can't literally get out the door, what I mean is that we don't have sidewalks on an extremely uneven road through a neighborhood where there's nowhere to go anyway. without a car you can't get anywhere worth going.

E-bikes having/not having throttles is an accessibility issue on top of the basic convenience of temporarily adjusting assist for specific things (getting up a hill or off the line). Acting like anything with a throttle is an e-moto is ridiculous and elitist.

2-way protected bike lane post of the day

Safe, protected bike-lanes are: Better for business Better for emissions Better for air quality Better for space Better for public health Better for noise Better for equity Better for affordability Better for public costs Better for safety for EVERYONE Better for oil independence Better.

My first critical mass. Hell of a way to be initiated!

That was… a pretty massive @criticalmassyyc.bsky.social for May #yycbike

This week Council deferred the decision on the Free Fare Zone to 2027 along with additional actions. I want to be clear: I believe in the value of the Free Fare Zone and transit for all Calgarians. I use transit almost every day - on the bus and the Ctrain 1/2 #yyc #yyccc

In my 2-mile ride back from the library I saw a driver nearly run over a little girl in a crosswalk and then a guy in a lifted pick-up close passed me before trying to cut me off from passing on his right. Then there were, of course, the multiple people speeding and/or on their phones.

Here's what the most expensive decision making body in Calgary is doing with our taxpayer dollars. All because some councillors can't bring their own water bottles - something we expect from every kindergarten child. #yyc #yyccc

The Squamish people of what is now Vancouver were illegally dispossessed of their land 100 years ago. They sued, got the land back, and used their sovereignty to ignore local zoning and build 6,000 new homes over the loud objections of nearby wealthy NIMBYs. Now other tribes are getting in the game.

"Compared to 135 electric bike and e-scooter-related deaths per year, cars kill around 7,000 pedestrians every year in the United States. Total roadway deaths from automobiles in the US exceed 40,000 annually" electrek.co/2026/05/26/a...

My Dad passed away in 2010 (I still miss him 💔) . I remember him once saying to me of our family home: "When I bought this house I could walk to a grocers, bakers, butchers and newsagent. Now I have to drive to a supermarket, and they call it progress." 16/22

We get it. It's hard to know if you can fit a electric cargo bike into your daily routines and use it to replace one of your family cars. That's why we created our Try Before You Buy program. Contact the shop to book your demo bike weekend. www.bikebike.ca/blog/try-a-c... #cargobike #electricvehicle

Actual footage of me reacting to reading this article...

And pointless. I ride on a 45 mph (55+ actual speeds) 6+ lane highway everyday and I still catch up to cars at the lights. Setting the design speed and/or speed limit much higher than the average speed possible, taking into account red lights, serves no purpose and makes our roads hostile & deadly

Your regular reminder that there ISN’T a “war on cars.” Any objective observation in most cities however, would conclude that for 60+ years there’s been a war on every mobility choice EXCEPT cars. And that’s been bad for EVERYONE, including drivers. Poster via @urbantruth.bsky.social. #UrbanTruth

Bike bus!

With these kind of percentages, maybe we should have an 11th question on the referendum, to put the matter to bed. Does the Sun revolve around the Earth, yes or no?

WATCH: Seriously, if you’re following ANY bike-lane debate, you really should watch & share this news story. It’s pretty much perfect. Ford claims wrongly that bike-lanes are bad for small business, and THE ACTUAL BUSINESS ASSOCIATION obliterates him with data. toronto.citynews.ca/video/2024/1...

The claim that organizers gathered roughly 300,000 signatures on a separation petition rests entirely on statements made by one individual: Mitch Sylvestre.... Yet, Mitch’s number has dominated public discourse as an accepted fact. thewalrus.ca/did-alberta-...

Half of business owners on this Toronto street estimated that more than 25% of their customers arrived by car. In fact, it was 4%. And the % of customers who who walked or cycled? 72%. Retailers routinely overestimate the # of “car customers.” Via @carltonreid.com www.forbes.com/sites/carlto...

This is the kind of advertising I would love to see @calgarytransit.com put up in their buses and LRT cars. Make sure their captivated audience knows they are appreciated and should be proud of their choice to take transit.

LISTEN: How to achieve better cities IN PRACTICE, and why it’s so important to communicate better and actively call out lies & disinformation about better city-building. @brenttoderian.bsky.social recorded this popular podcast episode with Jason from #NotJustBikes just a few weeks before our launch.

I have a laundry list of issues with this with one of them being "keeping streets safe" language. It's never referring to dangerous drivers or street harassment. It's a term that's meant to emphasize vague "urban crime" when most violence happens in private homes and spaces.

If only our kids had the same freedom as poultry.

Local woman says letting cats vote the key to herding them.

All told, cars have killed somewhere between 61 & 83 million people. As David Obst observes in his new book, Saving Ourselves From Big Car, cars have killed more people than World War II. *Motor vehicles are a scourge on humanity!* #Motonormativity #EndCarDependency thebulletin.org/2025/11/how-...

Honk honk that’s the sound all of our bulbous red noses make because Alberta is Clown Town.

“We can’t afford to be passive. Car interests will use this pandemic to convince us that cars are safe, and transit isn’t. If what we get out of COVID-19 is more sprawl and more car dependency, our future will get much darker.” — my quote, included in @grantennis.bsky.social’s book “Dark PR.”
