Ride for the joy.
There is a simple joy to riding your bicycle. I advocate for cycling as a transportation tool but perhaps more importantly it does wonders for your mental health. My nightly rides through the city make me feel free and reset my brain like nothing else could. Ride for the joy

I think it’s way past time we stopped listening to the nay-sayers who insist the demand for bike routes just isn’t there, that biking mode share is small, etc... 12,700 riders on one day, on one stretch of road, is mind-blowing.
*UPDATE* My daughter & I were part of a record day on #Beach - where our cycling volume reached a peak of 12,700 on July 5th !!! (yes, a one day count of twelve thousand seven hundred)

Thank you @CityofLdnOnt for working amazingly fast. I reported a sink hole forming and within 2 days this is done. Looks temporary but must have been bigger than I thought. @bikemayor this was that dip

Huge. Edmonton’s proposed bylaw eliminates minimum parking requirements for all new development. All cities need to do this. Allow the market to decide. (In Winnipeg every unit requires 1.5 parking stalls - 1.2 in mature neighbourhoods)
Boom! There it is. Proposed Bylaw changes to enable open option parking (no mandatory minimums) are headed to #yegcc Public Hearing on June 23: sirepub.edmonton.ca/sirepub/… This is an important move for better city-making and a more flexible market based approach. #yegplan #yegdesign

Women who want to cycle: Here are things you need to know. (A thread) 1. You are allowed to be there (in the space, in the sidewalk, in the road, in the saddle) 2. You can wear whatever the hell is comfortable for you. I vacillate between shorts and dresses

"Amplify, fund, and implement." Going for a ride is easier for some than others and the work on this has already been done. THREAD. #BlackLivesMattter
Replying to @rkbtwo
It is important that we amplify, fund and implement the work of people and organizations that have already spoken loudly on the intersection of place and race. With that in mind I’ve decided to interrupt your lunchtime to do some amplifying…here we go…
👏🏻❣️👏🏻❣️👏🏻
Here they are - Shelley Carr (left) and her "Bikers Do It Better" partners at RBC Place getting ready to deliver London Food Bank bagged lunches to agencies helping the homeless. What awesome volunteer support. Thanks Shelley and all. #LdnOnt @LondonFoodBank1 #volunteers
