@JustinTrudeau please join us on Bluesky! I’ve been off X since the New Year but just came back to let you know I’m waiting for you there!

[Linda Mathies @LindaMathies]

How about some cheeky volleys back @JustinTrudeau , like ‘wouldn’t Canada look better one colour sea to sea’. What have you got to lose!?

[Linda Mathies @LindaMathies]

@culturaltutor Well now that my culture lessons have transferred over to Bluesky, I can eXit here without a loss!😃

[Observing The City @observinthecity]

Thousands of Ontario residents came together to send a message to @fordnation and @PrabSarkaria that bike lanes save lives, solve congestion and transport goods.

[Bike Ottawa @BikeOttawa]

He’s starting with lanes in Toronto, but all are at risk, including Ottawa. We need to stand up for everyone who uses lanes, benefits from cyclists shopping along the routes, and all those who will be too afraid to ride because of the increased danger. See you there! #ottbike

[Linda Mathies @LindaMathies]

@BrentToderian Thank you so much for sharing your insights and evidence to debunk Ford’s ‘common sense’ nonsense.

@beynate You did a great job!

[Linda Mathies @LindaMathies]

Dear Car Manufacturers : can this msg be added onto the horn?

[Bike Ottawa @BikeOttawa]

There will be an #ottbike rally and ride at City Hall on Tuesday at 5 pm both to mourn the people recently killed and injured in our city and to voice opposition to Ford's anti-cyclist bike lane law. Please join in.

[Linda Mathies @LindaMathies]

Please consider our safety and acknowledge the truth that bike lanes are the solution to (not the cause of) congestion. Giving license to angry behaviour is not the solution.

[Linda Mathies @LindaMathies]

In Trumpian fashion, Ford’s divisive leadership style pits ppl against each other. Blaming bike-lanes is political rhetoric that creates dangerous conditions for cyclists. Emboldened, impatient drivers are encouraged to play chicken with their fellow citizens who cycle...

[Sean Devine @DevineSean]

Thanks @AMOPolicy for speaking on behalf of Ontario municipalities when it comes to provincial overreach on bike lanes. Cities put a great deal of work and consultation into transportation planning. Minister @PrabSarkaria, please let us do our work.

[Linda Mathies @LindaMathies]

@PrabSarkaria ideas like your proposed bike lane legislation are more than ignorant, they are dangerous to everyone’s well being.

[Brent Toderian @BrentToderian]

Whether in pictures or drawings, the point is clear -- mobility in cities is about space. HT @bikeyface:

A typical bike friendly, traffic calming street design in Belgium.

[Linda Mathies @LindaMathies]

Regulating car bloat needs to be part of the plan coupled with road diet as North America catches up with European cities where pedestrianization flourishes.

@NeilLumsdenMPP what will make us all safer is more bike lanes and a road diet.
We are on a bike trip in Belgium where the majority don’t wear helmets but are protected by bike infrastructure.

[Linda Mathies @LindaMathies]

@DevineSean My Family is biking through Belgium this week..arrived in Brussels on car-free day..no cars across the capital ! Amazing! Bike infrastructure so far ahead, cars stop for bikes at crossings, cargo bikes everywhere!

#Brussels streets free to use for everyone today - on foot, bike, scooter, roller blades or baby pram. And even with all the street parties the city is so quiet!
