Driver blows right through the stop sign to overtake a cyclist — then I catch up to him...

Mon beau lapin, mon beau lapin. (From my morning bike commute).

First day of Let's Bike Month in Ottawa! And a beautiful day for it too! Ride bikes, log rides, win prizes, go to events!

That is so *not* a @ncc-ccn.gc.ca sign. (source www.reddit.com/r/ottawa/com...)

This is the host stadium for the final match of the 2026 World Cup is being held, fyi. Absolutely cursed tournament of all time incoming.

They said it couldn't be done, but somehow Ottcity managed to make the #ottbike / #ottwalk Trillium MUP crossing at Preston & PoW even worse. People in front not sure when to go or if it's safe, left turning drivers not looking for bikes crossing (out of frame someone almost turned into me). #autowa

Flexiposts are no posts at all.

I guess you could drive home with your plants and pup in the back of your SUV. Or, this could be your view if using an #ecargobike. ☺️🚲🐶

Hello Tulip Festival visitors to Ottawa (and those that don't come downtown very often): I know the underpass on the south side of Rideau and Sussex is as inviting as Satan's arsehole, but this is *not* a pedestrian crossing (and if you're going to cross anyway at least take a cursory look first).

Brother with a cargo bike helping someone catch a bus: made my day.

Re-upping this because it is so important to fight residential school denialism which is a form of racism.

Changed my commuter/errands/sometimes-gravel bike's tires to Conti GP Urban; related: does anyone have a tube patch in gaping wound size?

Warning! You might see posts in the wild claiming "Hogwarts Legacy is free right now!" but this is malware, if you try and run it, it'll install Hogwarts Legacy on your PC.

I guess since we're doing this today, I am about this old.

Just a lady hanging out in her SUV on the grass in Parc Jacques-Cartier in Gatineau(to). 🤷‍♂️

Like if you think that a downtown street with room for three lanes has space for a bike lane so that mom can take her kid to the library without competing for space with cars.

here's my cover of Bury Me Beneath The Willow. I record music for my enjoyment and release it as a way to raise $$ for orgs doing amazing work 1/ floodrijd.bandcamp.com/track/bury-m...

#CarIntoBuilding this afternoon in #autowa. (source: www.reddit.com/r/ottawa/com...)

"Bicycles deliver the freedom...," especially in downtown rush hour traffic.

I appreciate the sentiment of offering secure bicycle parking, but the lockers on Second Ave here in Ottawa have been (permanently) temporarily out of service each time I have tried to use them.

La peinture n'est pas une protection.... #velomtl #polmtl #visionzéro #montreal #sécuritéroutière

Initiative: like holy funk how many "i"s can you have?

Attention for the @autowa.app.

The Driving Clinic (drivingclinic.ca): teaching its students that it's perfectly fine to park in the bike lane (but not yet at the part of the lesson where you need to put your "park anywhere" lights on first). Just another day in #autowa.

Gatineau police driving around on the MUP; not seemingly headed to any particular emergency or event, so not really sure why he was there. #ottbike #velogat

I hate the people running this province but I care deeply about the people in it. Grateful for the brilliant minds behind this activism. (Somerset and Preston bus stop in Ottawa)

Strathmore* *said in the same disdainful tone that Seinfeld says ‘Newman’

Everyone down on Canada Post today would have been a Tommy Douglas opponent back in the day.

Too many cars, no serious attempt to build and maintain a robust public transit worthy of a national capital region, bike infrastructure focused on recreation instead of transportation and a healthy dose of worry about bike theft due to lacking safe bike parking at most buildings. There, solved it.

Good morning Ottawa. Bonjour Ottawa.

"Why don't you use the bike lane?!" #autowa rear-view bike camera edition.

My partner's homemade ginger beer (warning: under pressure! -- sound on for POP!) and then a little ron cubano to make a Friday evening dark & stormy.

The QED MUP absolutely jammed up today while the roadway was underutilized, even at rush hour. Remember when we had #ParkwaysForPeople? Folks could spread out and walk, roll and ride in comfort and safety. Wishing that the NCC would make the QED a park again. #ottwalk #ottbike

Carney suspending federal gas tax to provide relief to drivers. Problem: There is physically less oil available now. Cutting taxes doesn’t create more gasoline. Some way or another, people have to use less. The mechanism that makes that happen is higher prices.

Good. Get on the fucking bus and shut up about it.

Sometimes the detour needs a detour.

🧵 The Canadian federal government’s 2025 budget has allocated: More business tax breaks including for fossil fuels sector $925 million for AI $81.8 billion over 5 years for military However, this comes at the expense of cultural heritage.

Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?

Mood. (IYKYK)

The NCC has put a hilarious detour in place on the Voyageurs MUP in Gatineau: just do a loop around the park and through the underpass that floods every Spring, rather than get the city to reallocate one of the six lanes of Fournier. There is already a strong desire path running to the shoulder.

Right now would be a great time to (re-)watch Threads (www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmNA...). www.reddit.com/r/aviation/c...

Only the coolest of the cool.

A stunning lack of imagination seen in an r/Edmonton thread about parking at the farmer's market. I regularly bring that much or more home from grocery runs and farmer's markets here in Ottawa, and I don't even compete in the #CarryShitOlympics.

Fuel prices got people combining more trips, like taking the truck to buy eggs *and* milk. (Credit NJB: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nZh...)

Gas at $1.90/L this morning in Gatineau; maybe it retreats a little bit in the very short term, but beyond that the oil shock is coming. Find ways in your life to be resilient and move beyond petro energy. My commute by bicycle cost the same yesterday as it will tomorrow.

They keep fumbling the messaging so badly. In one sentence, they are telling us viral respiratory illness season is over. In the next, they are encouraging high-risk people to get vaccinated. Don't they see the disconnect??
