Toronto cyclists ride ‘secondary roads’ to protest Ontario government’s plans to remove bike lanes
Sometimes the best way to make a point is to actually show people what it looks like. That…

What is she really passionate about? Parking
Rarely any council meeting goes by without her pushing some new parking policy.
And notice how she talks about transit users, in her mind families drive their minivan, they don’t take transit.
Her annual bike ride doesn’t make her an ally for biking or active transportation in Toronto
Many cyclist advocates were cheerleading Lily Cheng annual bike ride from Willowdale to downtown last weekend.
Sure it’s a nice ride, good PR. But notice how she never says a single thing about biking at council or present any motions on it.
Never moved the needle on making #Willowdale few cycling routes better connected south to the 401. Or anywhere really.
Free safe cycling sessions for delivery riders roll into Toronto Monday

If you live in #Guelph or the surrounding region, then DM me your photos of bike blockers! Please be lenient if it looks like an emergency.

Cycle Toronto wins Charter challenge, saving bike lanes on Yonge, University, and Bloor
(For now)
Obviously not everything is won. They might find another consulting firms that is less shameful. And #CycleToronto encourage us to email them so that they don't deliver the 1.5KM of scope they decided to keep.
But we are slowing the project, potentially saving lives and hopefully leaving more time for the courts to fight it.
It does set a precedent for other firms. Taking contract from the government doesn't mean it's ethical and you can get a PR nightmare out of it.
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
@cargot_robbie Whoa! We’ve long admired work of Toronto bike advocates, including their Cycling Handbook in 14 languages: https://www.cycleto.ca/torontocyclinghandbook. We link to that handbook on our site’s “Other Languages” [other than Spanish and English] page.
Photo is some Toronto cyclists we met in 2011, biking in city of Monterey.

This is a promising course of action and it's why I donate to #CycleToronto:
#bikeLanes don't inhibit car congestion - they alleviate car congestion by giving people alternative modes of transportation.
#Ontario needs more bike lanes to support safe #cycling across the province.
That was another fun #BikeTo protest ride! Always hard to count a pack of cyclists, but at least on the Bloor street contingent in was in the hundreds. And my daughter (rear passenger) started and led a chant of “Bike Lanes Saves Lives!” So proud

Thanks fightforbikes.org
A long pro-bike protest just rolled by on Bloor St. Took maybe 10 min to pass. Our pigheaded Premier here thinks by ripping bike lanes out of downtown #Toronto he can reduce congestion (false), pander to his base, and get reelected if he calls an early election by stoking urban/suburban division (probably true). #SafeStreetsSaveLives #TOPoli #ONPoli #CycleToronto #Bikestodon #Urbanism
Great video explainer from #cycletoronto . I hope this is viewable here

Somehow, I forgot that this also happened yesterday, while waiting to go into the theatre. Not sure what the event was.
At least they weren't naked.
Manual Boost @cycletoronto: @bikeshareto has more annual riders than the total annual attendance of at home games for the Leafs, Raptors, Argos, and Toronto FC combined. It is a year round program that is an integral part of Toronto's active transportation network.
