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. 🙄

More just-doing-normal-stuff-by-bike content: Bikeshare to meet some friends for a beer.

Also an example of #WorstBikeRacks. Why won't this railing-style of rack die out?!?

Had an awesome #CyclingWithoutAge ride this morning, featuring a ukulele serenade: "A Bicycle Built for Two" 😍

When working at a cafe near a film studio, I made a sandwich for DB Sweeney.

Can't not brag about this: Archive March 6, 2025 Wordle 1,356 1/6 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

I read "A Brave New World" at about 15 & reread it again this year, just before I turn 50. So very different & so much more scary now.

This is so needed here in Vancouver too! We've got lots of bike infra & cyclists, there's a couple Costcos near the infra, a huge portion of our population uses carshare--why not cargobike share?

This one takes the #WorstBikeRacks prize, in the WTAF category. Yeesh.

I am honoured for my book Crackdown to be featured in BC Bookworld this summer 🤯📚#booksky bcbooklook.com/on-the-addic...

Not an urbanist. Just a busy parent who wants my kids to be able to walk/bike themselves around so I don't have to take them everywhere.

Sometimes #CarryShitOlympics just happens to you... Was at a friend's place for a clothing swap (brought 2 Ikea bags of clothes!!) & her neighbour was selling a countertop dishwasher! So of course I biked home with a dishwasher. 🤣

#CarryShitOlympics classic: groceries + kid

Never underestimate how much stuff you can pile onto a bakfiets with a rain cover! #CarryShitOlympics

Gotta love a grocery #CarryShitOlympics

You can tell people that buying $214 worth of bulk groceries by bike is possible or you can advocate by simply doing it and being seen.

Got a pic of hitting 23,000km on my @ternbicycles.com GSD today! *Forgot* to get a pic of my bestie @donnamatrix.bsky.social riding as passenger as it's become so routine lately. 😘 You can see her leg in the background & the fleece she bought from the fibre event we went to.

Looks like a candidate for #WorstBikeRack, in th bike shop category. 😝

No surprise, I got the same!

When I was little I found out that pickles were made of cucumbers. English cucumbers were the only type I'd ever seen, so I assumed the pickling process shrunk them quite a lot.

Wow, that was a journey... @garthmullins.bsky.social is an incredibly engaging storyteller, weaving his memoir & the history of drug prohibition on the west coast over the past few decades. Go get 'Crackdown: Surviving & Resisting the War on Drugs' at a local bookstore, or borrow it--VPL has it!

Whoa, what an amazing thread.

We've spoken before about the vastly prohibitive costs of Non-Standard cycles, and how the Wheels4Me.co.uk loan scheme seeks to ease that financial burden. Here's a graphic from the newest version of our Guide to #InclusiveCycling (coming soon!) detailing some of those eye-watering estimated costs.

Ooh, that was fun. Wordle 1,419 3/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🟨🟨⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Thanks to @michellegamage.bsky.social for this lovely collection of stories about Trey Helten He connected so many people that his partner is trying to find a way to keep his phone number as a community resource. thetyee.ca/News/2025/05...

I used to post bike selfies All The Time... but I got out of the habit in the last while. @americanfietser.com reminded me that it is important to just show what living car-free/car-lite can look like, so here's a Costco Run. My husband is kinda done with being in selfies though. 😂
