  2. Thanks @[email protected] for publishing my article about the need to make completing the 72 km Loop Trail - and other trail gaps across the city - an issue for this October's municipal election. #BikeTO #TOpoli #VisionZero spacing.ca/toronto/2026...

  4. Looking for a group ride during the long weekend? Councillor Lily Cheng will be hosting the 3rd annual Willowdale Community Bike Ride to Downtown next Saturday. Meet 9 AM at Avondale Park. You can RSVP at the link but bike share bikes are sold out. #BikeTO #TOpoli www.lilycheng.ca/event-detail...

  5. Are you disappointed @[email protected] dropped pedestrian priority zones from the yongeTOmorrow proposal downtown? The deadline to complete the survey and call on the City to bring those back is TOMORROW! #WalkTO #BikeTO #TOpoli #VisionZero www.toronto.ca/community-pe...

  6. FUCK YES! Jennifer Alexander (@[email protected]) has officially registered today (May 1, 2026) to take on Stephen Holyday who's THE WORST person on council! She's an awesome advocate for #Etobicoke including on active transport matters! #WalkTO #BikeTO #TOpoli www.toronto.ca/city-governm...

  7. 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...

  9. While I'm that keen on Jason's personality, there's one quote from this latest Not Just Bikes clip which nails it. "If oil is so important, and it is, why the fuck do we let people set it on fire in their cars?" 🤣🚶🚲🚇🚗 #BikeTO #BikeSky #WalkTO #TTC #TOpoli #UrbanTruth www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXNL...

  10. While some protected intersections do exist in Toronto, we still have a long way to go to catch up to Ottawa! 😉 #BikeTO #ottbike #BikeSky

  13. This morning, I took my gravel bike for its first ride of 2026 to check out some of the construction along the East Don Trail and the Lower Don Trail. If you are able to go for a ride this afternoon, do it since it's beautiful out! #BikeTO #BikeSky #TOpoli www.twowheeledpolitics.ca/2026/04/apri...

  14. After having to wait on hold for a few months, I finally got to check out a copy of Life After Cars by @[email protected] from my local library! Look forward to reading it. #BikeTO #BikeSky #WalkTO #TTC #TOpoli

  15. Per this excellent article from @urbanismspeakeasy.com, "We don’t hold referendums on airplane safety. The same logic should apply to street design." #BikeTO #BikeSky #ottbike #VeloMTL #BikeHFX #BikeWPG #YYCbike #YEGbike #BikeYVR #VisionZero

  16. If you #BikeTO in #Etobicoke, you will want to check this out. The plan includes a couple of small bikeways on Panorama Court and Rowntree Road. You can submit your feedback by Monday, April 6. #TOpoli #VisionZero

  17. Vancouver, you're not alone unfortunately. Toronto hasn't held a single open streets event since 2022 whether it was OpenStreetsTO (Bloor & Yonge) or the ActiveTO major road closures such as on Lake Shore West! These events are needed to encourage physical activity! #shame #BikeTO #BikeYVR #BikeSky

  18. Thanks @[email protected] for sharing the English translation of this insightful column by Dutch architect Harvey Otten which compares parking a car with lugging a lawn chair around and leaving it somewhere. #BikeSky #BikeTO #ottbike #TOpoli #ONpoli #cdnpoli hansonthebike.com/2026/03/01/p...

    "Parking is not a birth right"...

  19. Cheers to @[email protected] for launching their campaign to expand NYC's Summer Streets into the spring, fall, and evenings! It's urgent that Toronto bring back open streets which has been on hiatus since 2022 and expand it ASAP! #BikeNYC #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli #ActiveTO tinyurl.com/openstreetsp...

  22. Hey #BikeTO & #TOpoli folks! If you see this "denovocities" user, please block them ASAP! They made the ridiculous allegation that @[email protected]'s recent volunteer snow clearing efforts violated bargaining agreements! Pitting unions vs road safety advocates is UNACCEPTABLE! #shame #BikeSky

  23. On Saturday, cyclists across Canada + the U.S. demonstrated their solidarity against the callous Trump dictatorship. #biketo #iceviolence #onpoli ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/222...

  24. In the Council Chamber where the deputations on TransformTO are ongoing. There will be a hard stop at 3:15 PM in order to allow for the bike plan item to proceed. #BikeTO #TOpoli #VisionZero #ActOnClimate

  25. Today's Infrastructure & Environment Committee meeting looks like it will be a long one! 56 speakers registered for the TransformTO item (a.k.a. Toronto's climate action plan) and another 51 speakers for the bike plan item. #BikeTO #TOpoli #VisionZero #ActOnClimate www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4d6...

  26. If Doug Ford was serious about dangerous driving, his #PCPO gov't would have passed the vulnerable road user law by now! It passed 2nd reading in Fall 2021 but committee meetings didn't get held, while the latest attempt failed in Fall 2023. #shame #BikeTO #WalkTO #ONpoli #ONDP #OLP #GPO #VisionZero

  28. Can't make it due to work, but I encourage those who support #BikeTO lanes, #TTC #RapidTO lanes, housing, climate action & other social justice matters to attend Tuesday's @fridaysforfutureto.org action at City Hall. #TOpoli CC @ttcriders.bsky.social @cycletoronto.bsky.social @toenviro.bsky.social

  29. The Downtown Concerned Citizens Organization, IntegrityTO and Protect Bathurst are teaming up for a July 15 press conference which will include expressing their opposition to #BikeTO lanes & #TTC #RapidTO bus priority lanes (among other matters). 😡 #TOpoli www.instagram.com/integrity_to...

  30. Well that is interesting.

    There was a public shaming campaign against #Stantec engineering firm because of their contract with the Ontario government to destroy our bike lanes in Toronto. There was protests at their office downtown Toronto + an email campaign by #CycleToronto

    I personally sent 2 emails to their Media person, Colin Nekolaichuk

    Well within Cycle Toronto newsletter, we learn that they gave up on the majority of the project (!!) and will only deliver a small part

  31. First time using the DuPont station bike racks. I have to look into these and if they were a really developed for the #TTC or if these are designed and made for industrial use.

    They are poorly designed. Lower racks horribly ergonomic for anyone over 5' tall. Frustrating to use for any of the racks that isn't flush with the ground. Difficult to use upper level. The list goes on.

  32. Are there bike share systems out in the world that allow under 18 to take out bikes (or scooters) independently?

    It seems odd, in Canada at least that we alllow kids to drive by themselves at 16 but somehow BikeShare needs an adult to supervise.
