It's a good day to run errands by cargo bike, while leaving the car at home. This bike enables us to live locally with simplicity, keeping wear and tear off of our car, and saving us thousands every year from car payments, maintenance, fuel, and insurance.

We spend so much more time together as a family now that we’ve embraced bicycles. My little cargo e-bike (radrunner 2!) makes it all feel approachable and lighthearted. It’s a real boon here in Colorado where we’ve got tons of hills and even more exceptionally fit, serious athletes.

The glee that I feel also cannot be overstated.

Love to see it. The safety that protected bike lanes provide is a crucial part of our transportation infrastructure. With no evidence to back it's claims that "bike lanes cause congestion" the Ford govt will not be able to rip them out. ❤️

Amazing news, I'm going to bask in how happy this makes me for the rest of the week.

Or by putting down decals telling people to walk their bikes on the sidewalk.

More unhinged educational materials for all!

I hope @chrismoise.ca is working just as hard to provide safe bike lanes and other travel routes for people who use scooters and bikes so they don't have to choose between the sidewalk and the death trap that is many of the roads in Toronto. 👍🏼

Well this is deeply upsetting. Doug Ford gives zero fu*ks about maintaining the beautiful natural resources that make places in Ontario worth visiting. We could be creating dev plans that enhance/support the natural world while also providing more tourism resources but instead we get this.

For the first time since I bought it (March 2024), my e-bike has a completely flat tire. 😭 Not bad for commuting almost everyday with it. I have the protective foam inserts so I'm curious to see what managed to stab through that.... A project for this evening when I get home.

This sounds absolutely insane.

Nothing like a 30kmph headwind to really make me appreciate my e-bike.

Ontario managed to get smog days down to nearly zero a year over the last two decades (forest fire smoke notwithstanding). 20 years ago a day like today would be maybe be a smog advisory day, hurt to breath. Ford counts on people forgetting. Ontario seems to be a very checked-out population.

Today two old dudes w/ motorcycles stopped me outside a Tim Hortons to as about my e-bike b/c they thought the back storage bin was cool: "Well we saw you roll in here and just thought that was the cat's ass." I will be riding high on that compliment for the rest of the week.

I already forwarded this on to my parents because wow what a deal. Maybe this will finally convince them to get an e-cargo bike.

We see a tiny fraction of what is going on in the US, but it's comforting to know that the crowds were massive almost everywhere.

This is why road design is so important. Despite that being beside a school, the road feels like a highway and people automatically drive faster. Put all that speeding ticket money into road reconstruction.

This makes me so happy. When you build cycling infrastructure, people USE it. Toronto's isn't even great yet but in the last 10 years (ie. when I still lived there) they've made huge changes to how accessible and safe biking is to the average person. Those numbers will keep going up. 🥳

Time for smaller towns to take notice too.

I'm debating building myself a bike trailer to haul light but large/bulky things around with... Does anyone have recommendations for a good DIY to follow (it would be getting attached to the back of a Term HSD), or should I just go buy one that suits?

Did a little ear acupuncture on myself today while I had a gap between patients (Ontario news has me ✨ stressed ✨ today). Yes, it's a lot more challenging to do this in a mirror than it is on another person.

Watching Doug Ford respond to questions about potential road blockades (in response to Bill 5) with "Well you can't break the law." while he spends his time ignoring as many laws as he sees fit is WILD.

I wonder if they'll get some 40k trips days this year 👀

Car dependency costs us all.

Happy World Bike Day to everyone except the person who thought putting bike racks here was a great idea. Absolute smooth-brained behaviour. 😆

Happy World Bike Day to every single advocate trying to get their towns, cities, or countries to take steps similar to those of the Netherlands from so many decades ago. The status quo of car dependency doesn't have to be our future.

Happy World Bike Day to the hundreds/thousands of people who ran bike buses this school year. You are showing everyone that cycling can make the lives of kids and parents so much better.

We’re setting the record straight on dedicated lanes. Red lanes on Dufferin and Bathurst will make our travel faster, safer, and more accessible. They will also help cut congestion and reduce pollution. Read this thread to get the facts ⬇️ 1/5

Happy World Bike Day to everyone whose mental health absolutely hinges on cycling regularly. Hope you get your hit today.

Happy World Bicycle Day to all of the very dapper folks reminding us that cycling can be fashionable.

Happy World Bicycle Day to all the people who have a bike for every single occasion.

Happy World Bicycle Day to all the people who don't melt when it rains.

Happy World Bicycle Day to all the people who got bikes in the past year! Welcome to the cool ppl club 😎

Happy World Bicycle Day to all the people who know that multi-mode transportation is the best way to get lots of people around while protecting the planet. ♥️

Happy World Bicycle Day + Pride Month to all the people who use their bikes for hot photoshoots 🔥 🏳️‍🌈 🚲

Happy World Bicycle Day to all the kids who have their priorities straight. 🚲

Happy World Bicycle Day to all the people who turn their bikes into portable bars 😆

Protect kids and give them independence with separated lanes for cycling. So cute 🥰

Happy World Bicycle Day! With over 35,000 kms of cycle paths, over a quarter of all journeys in the Netherlands are made on bicycle and the average Dutch person cycles 3km a day. 📸 In collaboration with NL Branding

Happy World Bicycle Day to everyone who, when someone says hey you're going to need a truck to move that, says HOLD MY BEER.

Happy World Bicycle Day to every person who picks up drywall with their bike and still has space for their dog ♥️

Happy World Bicycle Day! Dogs riding in cargo bikes are one of my favorite things.

Where I live, it's mostly the weather. It's been 20°C less than 10 days since March (an unseasonably cool spring), windy, and kinda damp. Hard to look cool in two layers of pants and my winter coat. BUT with warmer weather comes cooler outfits and I'm excited to ditch my coat soon.

Please let me one day live in a world where bike traffic is the only traffic I ever get caught in. 🙏🏼

Absolutely living in an alternate reality than everyone else. You're employees ALL take transit and you're *checks notes* actively trying to prevent that experience/need from getting better.

Unless I missed it, I don't think the Ford government has said a peep about appropriate management of measles cases and the steps they're taking to prevent further spread 😡. My local health unit seems to be doing a pretty good job notifying schools and parents about vaccination requirements though.

I took the long way home from work yesterday on my e-bike and the never-quite-materialized-thunderstorm clouds made for some very pretty views. The 12 min ride (the direct way) very easily turns into a 25 min ride taking this trail and I'm always glad to have done it.

Can confirm. Biking = best life. I just got rained on while biking to work and I still feel happier than when I drive.

Pedestrians who are hit by SUVs are 44% more likely to be killed than if they were hit by a conventional car, new study finds. Children are 82% more likely to die when hit by an SUV than by a car. In children under 10, the risk of death was 130% higher. Regulate vehicle size now.

Doug Ford's ongoing vendetta against cyclists and bike lanes contributes to people acting this way. Where is his statement condemning this kind of behavior? Everyone has the right to choose how they get around & should feel SAFE doing that. We already have to be extra vigilant around drivers.
