In solidarity with @cycletoronto.bsky.social! “Removing the bike lanes… would lead to more accidents, injuries and deaths. The government recognized as much when it added an immunity clause to the legislation shielding it from liability, his ruling said.”

We often hear from people about the lack of bike racks at their destination or people wanting advice before emailing their councillor to ask for racks to be installed. Here’s our take on it. 👇 bikeottawa.ca/2026/01/26/b...

The Province is appealing the decision that protected Toronto’s bike lanes. On the eve of the Cycle Toronto v. Ontario appeal hearing, we’re coming together to defend our victory. Tuesday, Jan 27 5:30 PM Pillars of Justice (361 University Ave) Be there. www.cycleto.ca/defending_your_victory_rally

What do 30 kph zones, no right-on-reds, speed bumps and transit have in common? They matter to people outside of cars. They make for a more enjoyable city. Here’s some inspiration from Besançon, France. bikeottawa.ca/2026/01/21/l...

Always happy to see sidewalks getting cleared promptly during a snow storm. It’s about equity. People who walk matter.

After a much needed break, we’re back. Happy New Year to all of you! Here’s a little inspiration from Paris, the Netherlands, Edmonton, Ghent and Gdańsk. Happy cycling! 🚲

Do you have bikes gathering dust? How about donating them to Meals and Wheels? Bikes will be repaired and donated to people in need. Donation will receive raffle tickets. Ray Friel Recreation Complex, December 27. Registration required: rizklawoffice.ca/community-ev... Happy Holidays! 🌲 🚲 🌲

Pendant ce temps à Ottawa avec la Loi anti-vélo de Doug Ford via @info.radio-canada.ca : « À #Ottawa, les effets de la loi 60 se font déjà sentir : trois projets de pistes cyclables pourraient être abandonnés. » CC @bikeottawa.bsky.social #bikeott #onpoli

The #DevonshireBikeBus made the local community newspaper, The Centretown Buzz. The article was written by one of our Grade 5 participants, photo by the principal. Makes my heart sing ❣️ #OttBike cc: @bikeottawa.bsky.social

This morning, board member Rob delegated at the Public Works and Infrastructure Committee meeting on the Bill 60 fallouts. Read his remarks: bikeottawa.ca/2025/11/27/p...

Today the ON gov't passed a bill which amends the Highway Traffic Act to ban municipalities from building any bike lane that would reconfigure roads. We made a submission to Premier Doug Ford, Min. of Transport Prabmeet Sarkaria & Min. of Municipal Affairs & Housing Rob Flack. lnkd.in/dxDN7hig

Kids know best. Look at these bikes! Front basket, long-tail cargo bike or bike with a bucket out front to carry lots of people. Our politicians would do well to build cities for them. Yesterday at a Hintonburg community event.

Bill 60 - Government bulldozing its way through. It’s going to pass quickly. Despite evidence, data, research and opposition galore. 🤬😡🤬 Keep sending your letters though!

A week ago, Bike Ottawa and its partners rallied against Bill 60 provision effectively banning new bike lanes. Bill 60 is in 2nd reading until Nov 22. Keep sending letters opposing the provision against bike lanes. The fight continues! 1/2 bikeottawa.ca/2025/11/20/n...

The Netherlands is to invest up to €1 billion in cycling infrastructure to connect hundreds of thousands of new homes nationwide. Read more: zagdaily.com/trends/dutch...

There are 2 ways to influence: 1. Advocate for change 2. Normalize a behaviour ie (obviously 😉) cycling This webinar fits both. Don’t miss it.

Why go car free? 💰 you save money ❄️ no need to shovel the driveway 🙂 🍹 you’re more socially connected And there’s more. What are your reasons? www.cbc.ca/news/climate...

On this World Day of Remembrance, we mourn all those that have been killed in traffic crashes, and continue the fight to make our streets safer for all of us.

One of the strategic failures of #OttCity Road Safety Action Plan is the lack of communications about where speed camera revenues are spent. I got the list via #ATIP. Here are some projects that were only made possible because of these revenues. Full data at tinyurl.com/4brrmh9j #Rideau-Jock

There are two speed cameras on Walkley Rd between Bank and St Laurent that were installed in 2024. In 2022 that stretch of Walkley had 34 collisions with injuries. In 2024, after the cameras were turned on, there were just 4 collisions with injuries. Speed cameras work.

I've filtered Ottawa's traffic collision data to show only collisions with injuries for each year, and then added the speed camera locations present in those years. It looks like speed cameras have made the roads much safer.

Yesterday, Bike Ottawa and our local partner organizations protested against Bill 60 and its anti bike lane provision. Read about it here: bikeottawa.ca/2025/11/14/c...

The bike-lane issue has gotten all the attention, hence my post. But the same bill includes giving the minister power to impose province wide street standards (which has every city working on “complete streets” standards very worried) and require a standardized (not good) approach to official plans.

Advocate of the future right here on the protest sign!

This morning, our board member Etienne Lefebvre spoke about why Bill 60 must be opposed. The bill strips away local decision-making, forces fiscally irresponsible planning, and locks our city into a dangerous, car-centric status quo. Thank you to @bikeottawa.bsky.social and everyone who came out!

For taxpayers, every piece of cycling infrastructure is a gift that keeps on giving. An asset that returns annual savings in congestion, pollution, maintenance, safety and healthcare over its lifetime. Stop asking whether your city can afford to invest in cycling. Ask whether it can afford not to.

Thursday's rally is at school time for most kids, but they can still be involved by designing a sign! Even if they can't make it let us see their masterpieces #SafeStreetsForKids #ChildrensVoicesMatter

It’s really important that #Vancouver’s Downtown Business Association, who were originally against bike-lanes, are now among their most vigourous supporters, because of ACTUAL EVIDENCE that they’re better for downtown business than any street parking they replaced. Safe bike-lanes mean business.
