"I've been up until the last 2 years a 100km plus a week cyclist. Now I don't ride at all" We get a lot of emails like this from local Vancouverites. When people wonder why our cycling mode share is stuck in the single digits - it's not the rain, it's not the hills, this is why.

We're hearing similar stories from our incident report form launched in April. Streets should be safe for everyone! #RoadSafety #VisionZero

Our incident report stickers are out in the field & we are getting information from these locations. Keep reporting, it's quick & easy. We're building up a picture of persistent dangers to people walking, wheeling & rolling that need to be acted upon #RoadSafety #VisionZero

First grocery shopping with my bike a success! I got some panniers from Decathlon last week and put them to good use today. Only awkward part was that the bike rack is right where all the employees take smoke breaks so I had an audience while trying to fuss with my locks 😂 Yay bikes! #bikeHFX

A veloton of people cycling on my ride home tonight! #BikeHFX #BikesBuildCommunity

Did you know you can get from the Woodside Ferry terminal to the Salt Marsh Trail with very little exposure to traffic? Cycling Guide showed me the way and then helped me navigate the circuitous route. On the return trip we used the Shearwater Flyer trail and sidewalks along (un)Pleasant St #bikehfx

Got 5 minutes to hear about family-focused cycling in #BikeHfx. the #KidicalMassHfx June newsletter just dropped here, and in your inbox (if you already subscribe): kidical-mass-newsletter.beehiiv.com/p/kidical-ma...

Back to their old tricks, blocking municipal bike parking in a very neatly aligned fashion #BikeHfx.

What really makes a city safe? "On Cars and Cartels", a blog post written by our volunteer Kegan: visionzerovancouver.ca/2026/05/24/o...

We were out in Surrey yesterday for BC's first Walk and Roll Accessibility Parade! This event was all about showcasing how accessible public spaces and built environment benefits everyone.

5) POST-CRASH RESPONSE Investigations of every fatal crash, with specific engineering and design recommendations to make sure they don't happen again, with learnings applied to other hotspots.

How do you cross the street? It's not as simple as it sounds! Awesome video as always from our friend @nicthedoor.bsky.social - and a great preview of some of the solutions coming our way if the new Vision Zero plan is approved by council! www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuMc...

Happy Saturday! If you haven't already, please take 3 minutes to write in support of the city's upcoming Vision Zero action plan!

The deadline to write in or sign up to speak to council is TOMORROW! Have you done it yet? We make it super easy, click for more info! It really makes a difference.

This week, Vancouver City Council will vote on a Vision Zero Safe Mobility Plan. Please Mayor Sim and council in support or sign up to speak to council. Safe active transportation & better public transit are good for health, equity, and the planet! Write to council now:

It's in the plan. What plan? The city's Vision Zero Safe Mobility Plan! It makes a difference to let Councillors know how many of us are excited about this - send an email or sign up to speak by 5pm tomorrow, June 1st! visionzerovancouver.ca/2026/05/26/s... Video ft. @lucymaloney.bsky.social

On Tuesday June 2, council will vote on the new Vision Zero Safe Mobility Plan. This plan is GREAT. (Details in 🧵below). But we don't know if it will pass and we need your help! Please take a minute to email council & sign up to speak if you're able: visionzerovancouver.ca/2026/05/26/s...

Please keep your reports coming. We're seeing worrying trends in the experiences of people walking, wheeling & cycling in the HRM. The more reports we have the stronger we can make the case for #VisionZero & #RoadSafety as an urgent council priority. Link here & in bio: forms.gle/XGr4do39sW9V...

RIP. This demeans the pedestrian victims of hostile roads, and their families. The solution to this is everyone getting behind and working towards #VisionZero. Not ticketing pedestrians. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

They won't until we flip the script.

Extreme danger for children where they should have a right to move in safety without a protective cage has been completely normalized. This should be a regular agenda item, every time our political leadership meet to discuss transportation.

A week after 2 children were separately hit by drivers in @hfxgov.bsky.social, the Transportation Standing Committee meeting has been cancelled due to a light agenda. No clearer signal that #RoadSafety isn’t treated as urgent business, despite concrete actions that could be taken around #VisionZero

when i was a kid, i got hit by cars 3 times. all 3 times the drivers just drove off. once busted my ankle so i could barely limp home and one lady broke my lower arm in 2 places. with 2 small children in the car! how i fuckin WISH we'd had all these cameras back then. no one cared in the 80s or 90s

This may become my full time job because there are near misses probably every second time I walk, but it's a really important project to highlight just how prevalent the issue is. For now, keep your defensive walking practice sharp and stay safe out there folks.

This is awful. Please do keep me posted.

@sflkirk.bsky.social this is the incident I’m referring to if you’re adding it to your record. I can probably get more details. bsky.app/profile/hrfe...

According to the comments there were two kids on the bike when a driver struck them. Same commenter said one seemed more hurt than the other, but both were alert and responding. (Warning: don’t read the rest of the comments)

I saw a cop car and ambulance on Abrams while I was out walking Jack earlier. Didn’t think much of it, there’s a person who lives nearby who sometimes has health emergencies that HRP responds to. (No CARE team in the burbs yet)

😔😔😔😔😔😔

Report of another chilld being struck by a driver, this time while riding a bike. That's 2 children in 3 days. When will our councillors and MLA's take road violence seriously? #VisionZero #RoadSafety

Terrible story, our thoughts are with the victims; and at the same time we're also grateful it wasn't worse, especially with a vehicle this large and reckless.

It’s hard to compete with a ferry commute.

I’ll go. I propose: Downtown Dartmouth to ferry to office somewhere on the Lower Water Street bikeway 😬

Partner walks from the Halifax Harbour South area to Scotia Square, which is pretty awesome.

#BikeHFX what’s the best commute in Halifax?

TLDR it's simple: make a 3-5 minute video about your commute, any format, any platform. Email us a link. The contest runs all summer, and we'll pick the top 5 for a community vote. The winner will get an awesome prize 🎁 We're hoping some of your commutes can beat these: www.cbc.ca/news/marketp...

Today, with our friends @visionzeroottawa.bsky.social & @visionzerokh.bsky.social, we're launching a contest to find Canada's Best Commute! There will be community votes! Prizes! And great discussions for all. See details and enter your submission: visionzerovancouver.ca/2026/01/14/c...

A driver hit an 11-year old child in a crosswalk in Bedford on Monday and drove off. What sort of person does that? More details: www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... #VisionZero #RoadSafety

Heads Up Halifax! Don't forget your hi-viz & running shoes to dodge out of the way of the 2-ton truck about to mow you down at the crosswalk or on the street! #ZeroVisionHFX

I promise I do understand the point of these, but pedestrians only have to exercise due care. The only reason pedestrians need to do the due diligence the city is suggesting with this PSA is because we KNOW FOR A FACT that drivers do not and will not exercise their legally required due care.

from yesterday, video of a pedestrian running out the way to avoid being struck on a marked crosswalk, in broad daylight (Victoria Road, Dartmouth) No amount of high vis and pedestrian care can prevent this. www.facebook.com/reel/1991012...

It is also a bit weird that the city doesn't mention the things that you can do that will make drivers notice you that is more effective than high vis. Like putting a GoPro on your helmet or carrying a foam brick.

Might I suggest you consult with #VisionZero experts and advocates around road safety messaging? This is a good explainer of why the type of messaging you are currently releasing is ineffective at best and may in fact be harmful usa.streetsblog.org/2023/06/14/f...

The municipality is conducting its 2nd annual survey to understand residents’ perceptions about road safety in the region. Your feedback informs updates to Council through the Road Safety Strategy. The survey should take about 10 minutes to complete. Learn more: www.halifax.ca/home/news/re...

Good advice, but if @hfxregpolice.bsky.social don't enforce traffic laws this "advice" will go unheeded. Only enforcement will result in compliance. Only enforcement will save lives.

Nice try, folks. That driver shouldn’t have been trying to pass a cyclist immediately before the stop sign. You should probably also mention that right on red is increasingly illegal in the urban core, since the giant signs indicating that don’t seem to have registered with drivers.

If you want safer streets & a true #VisionZero approach to #RoadSafety in the HRM, here's your chance to share feedback. Near misses & close calls we have collected so far in our incident reporting show concerning levels of distracted & aggressive driving that put lives at risk. We must do better!

It's disturbing that @hfxgov.bsky.social's approach to road safety, as in this video, still relies on everyone being careful while ignoring the systemic failures that disproportionately impact people walking, rolling or cycling. We need #VisionZero to be built into the system more explicitly 1/2

So they hopped the curb with their large 7-seater SUV and drove in both the bike lane (which was full of people including me) and the sidewalk beside it (also full of people) and just honked at everyone until they got to the parking entrance. Saved them about 15 seconds.
