I watched anxiously, expecting to see Tom get doored or driven into by one of the cars in the section without a bike lane.😬 But the physical sense of relief when he got to the separated lane! Nice space allowance for car doors along there, too. And see all those bikes parked in front of the shops! 🚲

I find this shocking. 60% of Canadians say they feel forced to own a car to access their daily needs! There is HUGE pent-up demand for better transportation options. Paraphrasing @lorinah.bsky.social: people are just not all that jazzed about spending their days in a car. survey.mobilizingjustice.ca

*cough cough* the Ontario government saying we don't need cycling infrastructure on arterial roads because the subway runs underneath them 🙃 www.torontotoday.ca/local/transp...

I agree with @anotherglassbox.bsky.social: AI-generated "slopaganda" distorts the reality of issues in Toronto, and can mislead the public. This kind of "advocacy" is undemocratic and undermines real civic engagement. It has no place in local politics. Sign and share: www.change.org/p/stop-the-s...

Additional context: "...public joy framework, which positions public joy as civic, cultural, and spatial infrastructure." via @jaypitter.bsky.social Series Introduction: www.azuremagazine.com/article/jay-... Public Joy, Part 1: Defining the Framework www.azuremagazine.com/article/publ...

To expand on what @tomflood.bsky.social is saying here, municipal transportation priorities rarely reveal themselves in mission statements or master plans. As I say in my public joy framework workshops, public space signs often prohibit public joy while signalling deeper socio-spatial biases.

Or, hear me out. We don't scrap all Federal gas taxes for the rest of the year. Instead we work to incentivise people to find options that don't tie your freedom to one mode of transportation. My bias is on e-bikes, but walking, rolling & public transit are wins too. globalnews.ca/news/1186458...

Hey #hamont pals: I'll be joining @camgordon.bsky.social tomorrow (Sunday, May 24, 1pm) at Merit Brewing to talk about his fascinating new book 'Track Changes: The Origin Story of Canadian Music on the Interent, 1990-2010' and our shared experinences in the post-Y2K wilds of music journalism.

It's still raining outside and I'm kind of so so on hoping on the bike to head to a few Doors Open Toronto spots here in the #EastEnd While I contemplate if I should wear socks or not, here are a handful of bike-related posts on a Saturday afternoon. *TRIGGER WARNING* You may get inspired.

A safer Ontario means having empathy and truly creating the means for those without housing to find a home.
