When infrastructure treats bikes as serious transportation, society stops treating them as children's toys.

This is amazing. #biketo #topoli A. This is AI Slop of University Avenue south of College. So this implies that the ABC group isn't anywhere near downtown or couldn't be bothered to take an actual photo. Continued...

This article is specifically about orgs in the US, but I imagine the situation isn't much different here in Canada. Car dependency is killing North America a dozen different ways, but it makes a select group of people incredibly rich, so of COURSE they're spending a ton of money to keep it going.

Been a while. Here is a full length video of the #Toronto Community Bikeways loop ride. Highlighting all the gaps in what is otherwise an amazing loop around the city bik #bike #cycling #biketo youtu.be/AcAW3rFm2bc

All the Beautiful City motions CARRY via show of hands, including Matlow's Bike Lane motion. The report also CARRIES via show of hands.

I hope our local governments will keep this menace off our streets for as long as possible. #biketo

Once again need to remind everyone that the supposedly crime-infested hellhole of New York is one of the safest cities in the country in no small part because most people in the central area don’t drive. America has a much bigger car problem than a violent crime problem.

“Doug Ford’s personal vendetta against a handful of bike lanes in Toronto has now mucked up infrastructure planning across the entire province. There are infrastructure projects in Ottawa, Mississauga, Hamilton, etc., that are collateral damage.” — @mbonsma.bsky.social Weakening cities.

I know how the term is normally used. But if you bike for transportation year-round in all weather, and you’re active in advocacy for safe streets and bike infrastructure — I think you’re technically much more of an “avid cyclist” than someone who bikes for exercise on weekends in the summer.

"Bike lanes, like roads, sidewalks and mass transit, are integral elements of our transportation system. When these investments are buried under snow, Torontonians are shortchanged." www.thestar.com/opinion/cont... #biketo #onpoli

A bunch of people got angry and/or confused as to why I would complain about #cycling infrastructure not being cleared of #snow a week after a snow storm in #toronto This short is my response. #biketo youtube.com/shorts/zwMgl...

After over a week, the city of #toronto has yet to make most of the #bikelanes in the city safe for use. Most of them are completely impossible. Some have been cleared, but there is still a layer of hard packed snow and ice on them. youtube.com/shorts/3vQeu... #biketo #cycling

Attending the Life After Cars talk. Looking forward to it. #biketo

The bike lanes are clearly not being cleared first, no matter what some people say. #biketo

Ontario's premier is so determined to bring civil servants back to the office full time he's willing to have the taxpayer foot the cost for more office space? globalnews.ca/news/1159974...

To explain zoning to my family, I'll say: "For Thanksgiving, the salad is on one table, drinks upstairs, sides in the living room, and the turkey is in the bathroom." Then we'll watch the traffic chaos as everyone tries to eat. That's how bad zoning creates traffic out of thin air. 🦃

“We were told it wouldn’t do anything & nobody would take these cycle paths. But in 6 years, we transformed Paris to improve your commute and your life, and records are breaking. And this is only the beginning!” On an average day, roughly 13,000 to 14,000 cycling trips now pass along the boulevard.

Meanwhile in Ontario, our car-brained Premier Doug Ford continues to prevent Toronto from pursuing congestion pricing despite the overwhelming evidence it works in NYC, London, and other cities around the world. #BikeTO #WalkTO #TTC #TOpoli #ONpoli

The East Don Trail project website has been updated for the first time since July 14, 2025 with some updated construction photos. Remaining work including fencing, topsoil placement, seeding & final paving is anticipated to be done by Spring 2026. #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli trca.ca/conservation...

When mad drivers tell you that you, a cyclist, don't belong on roads because you don't pay registration and the gas tax, show them the Road Damage Calculator. Compare, for example, the damage made by a small SUV and a longtail cargo e-bike. Very different orders of magnitude roaddamagecalculator.com

As the #Ontario #conservative government makes it near impossible to put in bike lanes in cities, they have no problem spending $3.9 million on snow mobile tracks. Note, I have no issue with this in and of itself. My point is the hypocrisy that it just so happens #DougFord is a snowmobiler. #biketo

“Bike lanes hurt small businesses by removing parking!” I love this one. The Annex BIA which was initially against the installation of the bloor bike lanes was recently up in arms over the Ontario Government's attempt at removing them. 😮bikes lanes increase foot traffic. #biketo

100% this! I'm going to start calling those two-wheeled electric vehicles with throttles that don't require pedalling "e-motos" too. Hopefully we can shift the narrative => e-bikes are NOT a problem in Toronto's bike lanes, e-motos are the problem. #BikeTO #bikesky

Was biking on a road with NO bike lane. A man pulled out from a parking spot and almost hit me. Opened his window and yelled at me to stay in the bike lane. 🤨#biketo

So bill 2012 prevents the city from removing a car lane for a bike lane. OK. What about for a multi use path or a sidewalk? The west side Parkside drive needs at least a sidewalk badly. Reducing southbound to 1 lane will slow down the traffic this speed camera is supposed to solve. #biketo #topoli

Toronto's most aggressively anti-bike lane, pro-car bar, that sells "Fuck Bike Lanes" t-shirts, seen here absolutely jammed, busiest they'll ever be, because the street's pedestrianized for a weekend street festival. How did any of these people get here if they couldn't park outside the bar??

Men shouldn't have bicycles over 50. Seriously, 50 bicycles is enough.

Amazing to see Canada placing so well in the Enduro World Cup.

The DailyHive story was nice also: dailyhive.com/vancouver/va...

I'll be protesting along the way with my #biketo peeps. To think this crook still has overwhelming support in this province. #onpoli

I think I speak for everyone when I say we’re all hoping Simmons hurries up since it’s literally impossible to buy socks ever since the Bay closed down.

Updated data from the city’s bike counter on Bloor West near Palmerston shows year-to-date bike ridership is up about 16% in 2025 versus 2024, despite some rough February weather. Record set on June 11 with nearly 7,500 bikes counted rolling by. datawrapper.dwcdn.net/XnXZq/1/

To carry 50,000 people per hour in each direction, a city needs a 175m wide road for cars. Even if those cars are electric. And then there’s all the parking. OR a city can move A LOT MORE people in a lot less space, with A LOT LESS public money, emissions, pollution, noise etc. Choices. Simple.

Sucks how provincial governments in three Canadian provinces (Ontario, Alberta, and Nova Scotia) are trying to strong arm municipalities into getting rid of bike lanes.

Disgraced former mayor John Tory says Yonge St bike lanes are "not working in terms of bike traffic", he "does not need to have anyone study it" because he has been there "many, many, many, many times". City's data shows thousands use these bike lanes daily. Peak hours, there is bike every 15 secs.
