My @thestar.com column this week: Civic Tech in Toronto turns ten! A look at some of the people getting together each week to hack away at our problems via @civictechto.bsky.social — and what City Hall could be doing to support their work. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Mine is that I used to not really see bike parking as a big deal and now I see secure bike parking (including anti-theft enforcement/deterrence) at home, work, commercial spaces, etc as crucial. The easiest people to get to bike are the ones already doing it — but many stop if their bike is stolen.

Join us on the July 8 Civic Tech Toronto hacknight to learn more about what the BikeSpace team has been working on in the last year and a half! guild.host/events/civic...

Leaving a bike on the sidewalk overnight or while at work often results in a missing tire or gearset, but for most of us, it’s only a matter of time until the entire frame disappears.

Encounter a problem with a bike rack/ring in Toronto? Frustrated by somewhere that doesn't have bike parking? You can help us crowdsource issues with bike parking in Toronto by reporting on bikespace.ca Our volunteers track issues that are submitted and follow up to try to get them fixed!
