DO NOT DRIVE YOUR CAR TONIGHT. #halloween

And also to @macg1llivray.bsky.social for bringing THE RIG (that's what I'm gonna call it) and all the marshaling gear. Fog! Lights! And more decibels than you can shake two (2) sticks at!

If you care about people being injured and killed on our roads. Read this entire thread.

Hey. Hi. Hello. In this Halloween Special , I continue HFX By Bike's annual tradition of trying to genuinely scare you using nothing but spreadsheets and graphs. This year it's all about the city's taxes and why it feels like Halifax can never get ahead. youtu.be/l8kCed6o4Bc

This night was such a blast. My friend Lael dressed up as a dragon to match my knight. And she indulged me in taking some absolutely badass pics! ##Halifax #criticalmass #cycling #HfxBike

We had fun tonight at the #CriticalMassHFX x #HalifaxBikeParty ride. Lots of folks dressed up and even some doggos got in on the fun!

I need to give a very big shoutout to the #BikeHFX marshals tonight. There were only 4 plus a lead and a sweep but they did well in picking their spots to cork and running up the pack.

Great fun tonight at @criticalmasshfx.bsky.social Hallowe’en party bike ride! Fabulous tunes, with Spider-Gwen, ET, unicorns, Paw Patrol, Tinky-Winky, Neo, HRM Transit buses and more making an appearance. 😄

Tonight's Hallowheel event was a huge success! Big thanks to the organizers, marshals and sponsors. I towed 95lbs of audio, lighting and fog machine on my bike trailer, with the fogger remote on the top tube of the bike! 🚴‍♀️🔊🚨💨 @cyclehalifax.ca @criticalmasshfx.bsky.social

We got to test ride the Brunswick st bike lanes this evening on our Halloween #CriticalMass ride. Very fresh pavement, quite wide! Smooth rolling!

Had a blast at the Halloween Bike Party & Critical Mass ride tonight! All the passerby seem to have thought our music & costumes were fun. It was lovely to see so many people have a touch of joy brought to their evening. Thanks as always to the organizers & ride marshals! #BikeHFX #CriticalMassHFX

I'll be dusting off ET for the next @criticalmasshfx.bsky.social x HaliBikeParty event on October 30. Looking forward to seeing all the other halloweeny bike decorations there too #CriticalMassHFX

The details are up for the next #KidicalMassHfx ride on Sun Oct 19. It's the last ride of 2025, but it's our 1st ever ride in Bedford. It's also our annual Halloween ride! Wear a costume or decorate your bike and join us for a leisurely ride along (car-light) Shore Drive. hfx.bike/kidical-mass...

Wilfred is our porch skeleton. He hangs out on our porch Sept through Novemberish, and sometimes returns for other holidays. He’s been a buddy of both our kids since they were babies. Here he is riding our old Babboe cargo bike.

Thursday next month (to avoid coinciding the actual een of halloween!)

Hey #bikeHFX: come celebrate my birthday with me at the next @criticalmasshfx.bsky.social, combined this time with Bike Party! I promise to be wearing a costume (and also riding a bike with a light this time 😬).

Save the date! THURSDAY October 30 🎃 will be the next Critical Mass AND Bike Party! 🚲🎉

Thanks everyone for a great ride tonight. Couldn't ask for better weather! Thank you to all the ride marshalls, and everyone who helped make the ride happen! We'll see you at the next ride THURSDAY October 30!

Come ride, it's a blast! Tomorrow (Friday), 6pm, Grand Parade!

I've shared the full study previously but here's a more user-friendly summary of research from Montreal, busting the myth that bike lanes remove space for cars. One for our more #CarBrain infected councillors in #HaliSky via @ca.theconversation.com theconversation.com/montreals-bi...

Critical Mass Ride FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 26 🗓 Meeting at 6:00pm, and ready to roll out at 6:30pm. Location: Starting at City Hall (Grand Parade Square), ending at the Commons.⚾️ We will ride on paved city streets. The length of the route is around 7.5km 🌆

Ok #BikeHFX I need you to think of some things you'd like to #AskAndy at the Community Bike Ride tomorrow

I'm excited to announce that the next #KidicalMassHfx ride will take place in Bedford! Our annual Halloween ride will start at Fort Sackville Elementary, and end at DeWolf Park. Details to follow, but save the date for this year's spooky season ride #BikeHfx: Sunday October 19 at 9:30am.

126 km/h along Vernon Street. One of five pedestrian fatalities this year, terminating the life of a giving and promising young woman, and we cannot get beyond "shared responsibility/make eye contact" safety messaging. www.ctvnews.ca/atlantic/nov...

Kids getting exercise & being in fresh air & connecting with other kids & fewer cars on the road? What’s not to like? And for ppl saying “wHaT aBoUt WiNTeR & the CoLd? Oh NOooO!” Look at Finnish kids: m.youtube.com/watch?v=5wZ0...

Supporting & inspiring hyper-local bike advocacy is the #KidicalMassHfx dream. I’m so very pleased to see folks building community around cycling in their own neighbourhoods & schools. Thanks to all of you for being a part of something amazing! We can't wait to see you again on October 19th. 6/6

We’re spreading the word throughout #Halifax: We visited a rural part of our municipality in June and we’re working on suburban routes for our future rides. We’ve discovered that more of our community members are running #BikeBus and after-school cycling clubs at their local schools. 5/6

#KidicalMassHfx is about building a community around cycling for kids. The number of folks who come to any particular ride is just one measure of our community, but there’s so much more we also see as growth in this movement. 2/6

A 🧵 of my reflections on #KidicalMassHfx. In 2022 (our first season) our Dartmouth ride had ~12 participants. In 2023 we had 76, and in 2024 we had 90. Yesterday, 130 people rode bikes with us in Dartmouth, in support of our kids safety and independence in their communities. 1/6

Attention #BikeHfx: Chebucto Lane is currently closed due to work by Halifax Water. You can get as far as Duncan St southbound, or to the sidewalk on Lawrence St if you're northbound. But the roadway on Lawrence is a giant pit, currently full of excavators.

Haven’t been able to detour around the awful ramp in the Hollis St bike lane this week cause it’s been so busy I haven’t felt comfortable. It’s so jarring. Here’s some comments from people who feel the same- plan on following up on my ticket today

HRM data showing both pedestrian and cyclist crashes are up in the first six months of 2025 vs first six months of 2024, cyclist/micro-mobility crashes up by nearly one quarter. A direct outcome of caution and delay over crucial infra, at heavy cost to users docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Last week for completing this transit survey engagehalifax.ca/core-service...

Excellent progress on Dutch Village Road. It continues to be an active construction site but you *can* bike down one way to Rosedale before hitting obstructions. Nice details with bump outs for tighter crossings, concrete bus areas. Looking forward to the landscaping & finishing touches!

This Sunday afternoon! Visit HCC to talk cycling infrastructure, or learn about the Cycling Guide app. Drop off your bike for safekeeping at our bike valet, get some bike maintenance from 12-2pm, get a bike fit from physio Adrian Wong from 2-4pm. HCC members can pick up their free anti-theft shield.

Hey #bikeHFX what's the best way to get from Cole Harbour to Burnside (specifically 81 Ilsley Ave)?
