#bikesky — Public Fediverse posts

I would love to have a stack of cards I can hand out to e-curious folk, with a list of reliable-and-affordable #ebike lines on one side and reputable e-bike financing options on the other.

Just because some bikes are expensive doesn't mean they all are!

chat, #bikesky, I am not sure how to google for this, so I will ask here: are there standards for bike frame mounts? like the lil bosses that pepper a fancier frame for places to put random cages, etc...? does "four pack" mean anything?

With today being so nice out, I biked almost 78 kilometres in Mississauga to check out the Nine Creeks Trail, the new QEW Credit River bridge, and the new Jim Tovey Conservation Area. You can read more on my blog. #BikeTO #BikeMississauga #BikeSky www.twowheeledpolitics.ca/2026/06/nine...

I'm doing a singletrack (mountain bike) ride thing for MSP. Focus on daytime rides, tent called Old Gear Singletrack (mountain bike).

3 pieces - shared public calendar, chat service, simple web.

I'm curious what others with ride coordination experience think of approach (below) ...

As an Old I get asked to health surveys that always ask if I've fallen lately. Yesterday I mistook an overgrown gap jump for a table top and TACOd my front wheel. So, yeah, there was a fall there. But I think this leaves the wrong impression ... #bikesky

Last month, I finished reading @[email protected]'s "If You Want to Win, You've Got to Fight" which is a short but effective advocacy manual for walking, cycling & transit supporters. A full review is now up on my blog. #BikeTO #BikeSky #WalkTO #TTC www.twowheeledpolitics.ca/2026/06/revi...

Here's a nice story from Andrew (a.k.a. Cardiac Cyclist) about how one of his videos from last fall inspired a fellow cyclist to improve the West Luther Trailway west of Orangeville. Wished GO Transit would run buses there on weekends. #BikeTO #CycleON #BikeSky www.youtube.com/watch?v=3E6l...

Anecdotal, but I know a couple of incidents of drivers running over local cyclists due to phone distraction. That’s not new. What’s new is that in all cases the drivers eyes could not be seen due to tinted glass. We cyclists rely heavily on seeing driver eyes to identify distraction. #bikesky

This is a #bikesky #msp question. How much interest is there in the St Paul / Minneapolis metro for weekday *daytime* singletrack small group rides? Would be, I assume, mostly retired men …

Not a fan of tinted glass in cars. Got hit today. No hurts or even bike scrapes. Phone distraction. Thing is, I couldn’t see his eyes cuz tinted glass. I rely on seeing driver eyes. I’d have yelled to get his attention before entering crosswalk then. Anyone else seeing this problem? #bikesky

Further to the blog post I put up earlier this week, here's a companion video of the Barrie-Collingwood Rail Trail I uploaded to YouTube using a GoPro on loan. #BikeTO #BikeSky youtu.be/g8kg_UWX5Ws

On Monday, I biked from Barrie to Collingwood including along the recently extended rail trail which now starts at Angus. While I plan to do a video compilation soon, my blog post reviewing the trail is now up for your viewing pleasure. #BikeTO #BikeSky www.twowheeledpolitics.ca/2026/05/barr...

Survived riding the Barrie-Collingwood Rail Trail this afternoon in the 30'C heat. While the rail trail is pretty good, the New Lowell to Stayner stretch in particular was brutal with the loose gravel, but had some fish and chips with beer in the end. #BikeTO #BikeSky www.strava.com/activities/1...

Happy Victoria Day! On the GO Train to Barrie to ride the new Barrie-Collingwood Rail Trail! Hope you are able to get out and ride today wherever you are! #BikeTO #BikeSky

Started reading "If You Want to Win, You've Got to Fight" by @[email protected] this evening. So far, it gives a reminder that we cannot avoid politics if we are to change transportation outcomes. Hope to do a review when I am done. #BikeTO #BikeSky

Check out phase 1 of the Esquimalt Road protected bike lane - concrete curbs, bollards, crossrides, treed medians, and connections to other bike routes. A great AAA upgrade on a main street. Nice work Esquimalt!🚲 #Esquimalt #yyjbike #bikesky

I cycle through this intersection about 4 times a week, but the last few weeks it has been blocked almost every time, so I put together my clips to show how silly it is. Apologies for the quality. #OttBike #BikeSky

While I doubt Doug Ford would listen, Beth Kaplan's column in @[email protected] makes a good point on the need for Ontario to learn from Paris about tackling gridlock. It involves transit, bikes, and green spaces. NOT cars. #BikeTO #BikeSky #WalkTO #TTC #TOpoli #ONpoli www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Of the situations I regularly encounter on my bike commute, this one is easily the scariest -- even though "nothing happened." Reader, a lot is happening. @[email protected] #BikeSky #VisionMillion

While I'm that keen on Jason's personality, there's one quote from this latest Not Just Bikes clip which nails it.

I tried to explain to somebody about why sometimes people on bikes do things drivers might not understand in order to ensure our own survival and was informed that we are not actually entitled to survival. Which felt kind of aggressive. #BikeSky
