Oh to be a little Tardigrade walking across a microscope slide. 🫧🐻🧪

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. What about painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them. Via @usa.streetsblog.org @nyc.streetsblog.org

@loxy.bsky.social do you ever make stitch markers to sell? A lot of your earring designs would translate well to them.

💀 German entry for #WorstBikeRacks

I am endlessly surprised at how often people think they need to redesign bike racks with some new cockamamie concept. #WorstBikeRacks

OMG, is it an IUD or a bike rack?!? #WorstBikeRacks

Oh dear. No words. I just... Ugh. #WorstBikeRacks

Do you know any kids 9-12 who'd want to ride bikes this summer & learn some road skills? @wearehub.bsky.social is running kids bike camps this summer. $250-450 week-long camps starting June 29. Details & registration: bikehub.ca/camps

We used to call it "Mama Boost".

This shouldn't be a rare thing, a mayor joining a bike bus. Has your mayor done this?

Hey @cityofvancouver.bsky.social #311 I could not figure out how (in the Van311 app) to report a tripping hazard: a brick sticking up on the path in Charleson Park at the north end of the Laurel Land Bridge.

Sorry, can't help the Schadenfreude... Apparently nobody was injured.

I rode along 10th Ave this morning around 9:15am; Cambie to Main was RIDICULOUS. Another cyclist & I both had to yell to avoid being hit by a driver running a stop sign at Alberta. He didn't look either way, or he would have seen our lights & bright clothing. #311 @cityofvancouver.bsky.social 1/4

A nice piece on one of the @wearehub.bsky.social Bike Buses in East Van. Reach out to staff at HUB Cycling if you're interested in getting one going at your school! #bikeyvr globalnews.ca/video/117744...

Hey, do you know anyone in Vancouver who's 55+ & wants to get more confident cycling? (Beginners welcome!) $100 for 6 sessions of small group lessons Tuesday afternoons at Trout Lake April 21-May 26. (Subsidy available) More info here: share.google/t8dvcE5B4YsV...

THIS. THIS. All day this! I did the math: all the time I've spent ferrying my children to & from school because it wasn't safe for them to walk or bike independently amounts to EIGHT MONTHS. 5,400 hours. It was 99% biking. I don't regret the exercise or the time with my kids, but it's a lot. 1/4

Definitely a #WorstBikeRacks award for these, in the category of "Works better as a bollard"

Hoo boy, this one is right up there in the #WorstBikeRacks awards. Utterly useless!

Add one word to a film to ruin it. Six Seven

When are we going to start allowing bike parking like this in Vancouver???

BC's rollback of safer supply & decrim is killing people, there's no doubt. In the recent @crackdownpod.bsky.social, @garthmullins.bsky.social puts it so clearly: "There has been no political cost for our deaths. There has been a political cost for helping us, & that's why we're seeing this today."

Hey @translink.ca, I'm looking for updates on the Skytrain Expo Line issue and don't use Twitter any more. Can you post alerts on Bluesky? There's over 35 million of us here.

#CarryShitOlympics goooooold!

Careful #BikeYVR! The traffic light at Ontario & 12th Ave is out! It's difficult to cross by bike or on foot! #311 @cityofvancouver.bsky.social

I don’t ever want to hear about the male loneliness epidemic again. Start doing something to make your community better and you won’t be lonely anymore.

Good guess! Wordle 1,619 3/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

This one wins #WorstBikeRack in the category of Absolute Accessibility Fail. (Along with being too close together & too close to the building)

WATCH: Seriously, if you’re following ANY bike-lane debate, you HAVE TO WATCH this news story. You actually can’t make this up. Ford claims without evidence that bike-lanes are bad for small business, and THE ACTUAL BUSINESS ASSOCIATION obliterates him with data. Safe bike-lanes mean business.

Spooky bird stories. Last year's Halloween comic.

🤣😂🤣😂 Amazing. I need to see this ad!

@tomflood.bsky.social did you see this? 👀

Slightly diminish a book: A Song of Ice & Wire

Ugh, yes. Also: give me the garment measurements. I will decide how much ease I want in the hips/waist, etc thankyouverymuch. Don't give me a "00-12" size chart that doesn't even have waist/bust/hip measurements!!

I love online orders with local pickup--great excuse for a quick bike ride! Hit @samsaracycle.bsky.social to pick up (yes, ANOTHER) leopard print thing. (Did you know they have a 30% off sale right now? 👀👀) Great timing 😂 --I don't think I'll need to wear this windbreaker for over a week! 🥵 1/3

Dropped off a hand-me-down baby/kid chair for our friends. Nice day for a ride & a good excuse for a little #CarryShitOlympics post. 😜

I've had my Tern GSD S10 for SIX years today. 🎂 Celebrated by running errands. 😜 In 24,105km, I've carried many many different passengers, so many loads of groceries, & random awkward stuff like today's mostly full keg of beer. #CarryShitOlympics #GettingStuffDone #WhoNeedsACar #CargoBikeLife

#GettingStuffDone by cargobike on my @ternbicycles.com #GSD: Grocery pickup. Guy who brought out my groceries didn't think I'd get it all on the bike. Haha! This is nowhere near my biggest load. 😜

This is a really fun program, aimed at people of all cycling levels. Riding a bike can be a great way to get to know people & your community.🌞

Come work with me!

If only this were satire.

Uhh, @thecarnivalband.bsky.social can we do this? I've got the cargobike & BikeBus connections, you've got the brass...

This is a whole category of #WorstBikeRacks: obstructed by seasonal plant sales. 🙄
