In 2024, Paris will ban non-essential thru-traffic from its city center. The plan is expected to cut around half of daily car journeys thru the core. Residents, public transit, emergency vehicles, & people with disabilities will find it EASIER to move.  bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Thanks for standing with us. This city needs to stop harassing people on bikes and step out of the dark ages and into a reality that PROMOTES cycling for transportation and fitness alike. @JohnTory you should be ashamed for ticketing cyclists in High Park.
#WalkingTheCity at a bike ride of protest. It’s not about cycling, it’s the benefits to mental & physical health, environment, econ. Dev., and riding is the means. It must be SAFE for all ages & abilities, citywide, in a #Toronto4Everyone w #Gil4Mayor. Thanks @TheBikingLawyer.

Honoured to see the sun rise in #Muskoka for the Northern Pass ride for @thePMCF! We are proud sponsors of their efforts and that of everyone that makes this race happen, especially our awesome pals @BlacksmithCycle! Ride on friends.

Here’s why people cycling two abreast is actually better for people driving motor vehicles. It’s quite simple really.

THIS is what so many of us have to deal with. I'm not going to say this is unbelievable, because unfortunately, it's far too believable.

If they wanted to create a true sense of mayhem for CX worlds they would host it in Trinity Bellwoods on a Saturday afternoon in July

So NOT TRUE. Custom bikes are often for life. Stock bikes are usually for a season or two. – at Toronto, Ontario
If you're fickle enough to want a custom bike you're probably too fickle to stay interested in it for more than a year.

Another preventable death. Another cement truck. Around the world, increased vehicle safety standards exist for cities, but are not used in Toronto. These standards include high-visibility truck cabs, side-guards, proximity sensors, and blind-spot cameras. #WDoR2021

Tried to go solo wire-to-wire but a small technical wobble near the end left me fighting for a podium spot instead. 3rd Hell of the North @BlacksmithCycle @RDRacing1

Hey @Reuters I started copy editing your story on Sorensen. It’s not an “accident.”

Question should be how he feels about working w/ Maxtin & Gianetti considering their notorious associations with doping. That would give a lot more insight. Unfortunately no believing for me while guys like that are still behind the scenes running teams. #connectthedots
On Monday Tadej Pogačar was asked if he could answer those who doubt he's racing clean. "Yesterday I had three [anti-doping] controls in one day – two before the stage and one after. So I think that gives enough weight to prove them wrong.” ow.ly/jTpL50Fph1S

PSA: The CAA is full of shit. And, should stop telling us what we should do or how we should ride. Stop endangering us with more of your anti-cyclist fake PR. Thank you. #biketo #cycling @CAA
The CAA’s cycling tips seem to suggest that you have to gird for battle. And stuff like wearing only running or cycling shoes, putting reflective tape on your clothes and always carrying a bottle are at odds with the ease and convenience of urban cycling mobility. #bikeTO

NOW is time to convert Bloor & Dundas Streets from motor thoroughfares to safe, inviting roads that support vibrant commercial areas, healthy neighbourhoods, & opportunities for active transportation #WeBelongOnBloor 📽️ @DaveLikesBikes 📬 @BikeLaneDiary youtu.be/Y5ZkOu-53C8

Earlier this evening, ARC members installed a ghost bike & lit five candles in memory of 5-year-old cyclist killed by a driver at Elm & Hurontario in Mississauga on Tuesday May 4th. #momentofsilence #biketo #cycling

We call bullshit! Doug deserves respect and justice.
What is happening here? Justice of the Peace can’t explain the rationale behind his decision to find driver not guilty in death of a cyclist because he left his papers in his office and his office is closed because of COVID? He couldn’t go pick them up? thestar.com/news/gta/2021/04…
