Gladstone-Gilmour bikeway People on bikes go left and right, left and right all through the town. Sounds familiar? Residents of Dalhousie neighbourhood want a safer cycling route on Gladstone. Join their rally: October 9, 7:45 am, Bronson/Christie #ottbike bikeottawa.ca/2025/10/01/r...

CFRA interview Host: But cyclists go through red lights. Me trying to get a word in Host: We need our cars. Me… Host: Drivers’ time is more important. Cars are good for the environment (slight exaggeration on my part). 🤬😡🤬 Me after: He could have ranted all by himself. Didn’t need me. Next!

Pique-nique sur l’autoroute. Quel joli titre! Ça fait rêver. Et si on transformait le Queensway en parc linéaire géant? Une oasis de verdure au milieu de la ville. Ou alors un canal. Une autoroute cyclable et un parc linéaire. Ou bien…

J’aurais voulu être une artiste… 🎵

This is an excellent explainer on why transit is in the situation it is in. Transit is *essential* to areas with limited space and lots of people. And those spaces should be given more of the decision-making and funding to make it work great, not just to muddle along.

I guess I find it annoying to talk about balance and allow people to park the car for free but force people to pay for transit. That’s an equitable. Behaviour influences outcomes: why would I spend $5 and an hour to get there/back if I can drive in 20 and park for free? Reverse this, change outcomes

This. 👇 Bike buses show there’s a need for safe infrastructure. They’re not meant as a substitute for such infrastructure. Keep bike buses coming. Show City councillors and our mayor you want safe infra for your kids. Hit us if you need help with bike bus routes. We’re happy to help. 💪

Last week we hosted @coachbalto.bsky.social and @cassiesmith.bsky.social who told us all about bike buses. Here are some highlights. #ottbike #bikebus bikeottawa.ca/2025/03/18/a...

Close the bridge to cars. Preserve it, restore it, open it to active transportation only. Host gathering is an events like dinner for 1200 and make it a key feature of our tourism as a lookout point to see the beautiful city we live in. Envision of future for trams linking the nations capital.

ICYMI Join us online to learn all about bike buses. @coachbalto.bsky.social’s positivity is contagious. You won’t regret it. Tomorrow, March 11 at 6pm. Register here: www.eventbrite.ca/e/all-about-...

Alexandra Bridge reopened to cars while I was away. I’m not impressed. It should have remained open to active transportation only. People had already changed their habits. This is Alexandra at 1:20pm today, Saturday. #OttBike

Great podcast. Must listen. It made me feel somewhat better. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/t...

Concert de piano pour main gauche. Vraiment bien. Comment s’y rendre? À vélo, bien sûr. Et je n’étais pas la seule.

bikeottawa.ca/2025/01/16/b... A friend in Germany complains about the difficulties of finding a place to park so he can take the train - oh to have that problem in Ottawa!

Happiness is… when your friends outfit their kid with studded tires so they can bike to school in the winter. 🚲 🏫 Cherry on the cake. Kid finds biking home faster than other modes of transportation. I fully agree. ⚡️
