Mobilizing people on bikes to ride in solidarity for more equitable and resilient neighbourhoods.

[@thebikebrigade @thebikebrigade]

Hello! We're a group of volunteers who manage the last-mile delivery of food & other essentials by bike on behalf of equity-seeking groups, food banks & other non-profit partners. We act for climate & social justice & mutual aid. Join us! #BikeToronto

[@thebikebrigade @thebikebrigade]

We're excited to be part of this @thewalrus Talks on April 15! Hear 7 fab speakers, including our own Cyndi Gilbert, talk about volunteerism and the power of service to counter social isolation and civic polarization. Join us in-person or online!

[The Walrus @thewalrus]

Studies show that the “loneliness epidemic” is significantly harming our physical and mental health and contributing to the troubling rise of polarization. Speakers share ways we can combat this issue @sconnectedness presents The Walrus Talks Reimagining Volunteerism. https://t.co/t4YzfNUWNP

Stoked to lead a @JanesWalkTO on May 5. We'll be delivering to TO's network of community fridges (@cf___to) & learning about food insecurity. It's a fab way to introduce people to Bike Brigade & our community. Get your bike-riding pals & join us! https://t.co/v2M5FeWavj

There are five sitting Councillors who believe that @FIFAcom's compliance with labour laws, and with ensuring #humanrights protections for migrants and #encampment residents, are not obligatory. Thank you @BravoDavenport for being a voice of reason in @cityoftoronto governance.

[Bike Share Toronto @BikeShareTO]

Bike Share Toronto isn't slowing down in 2024! 🌟 Scarborough, get ready to ride because we're further expanding into your area with plans to reach the Meadoway! 📍🚲 Stay tuned for more news on this year's #BikeShareTO expansion.

[Pariah Carey @DesmondCole]

Police are trying to demoralize striking workers at @YorkUniversity. The ability of teaching assistants, graduate students, and contract faculty to picket is under serious attack

This Monday, please join us to show support and amplify the demands of @CUPE3903York

[Diana Chan McNally @DianaCMcNally]

"Neighbourhood Character" defenders are welcome to visit my street, where high-rises, mid-rises, single-family homes, rooming houses, supportive housing, and long-term care homes harmoniously co-exist. Diverse buildings and neighbours have character!

[Fort York Food Bank @FYfoodbank]

Thanks to everyone’s generosity we have surpassed our Coldest Night of the Year goal! An extra heartfelt thank you to the team at @openfarmpet for all of their support including their donation of $25,000 that got us to our new total of over $213,000 raised for our community!

[The Biking Lawyer (Dave Shellnutt) @TheBikingLawyer]

🧵Seems Cllr @stephenholyday WILL interrupt & silence a speaker at a public meeting! But only if you ask him to denounce violent threats against cyclists & apologize for his complicity in allowing the idea of running over people on bikes in your way to be applauded 1/4

[Diana Chan McNally @DianaCMcNally]

This is essentially an admission from the Toronto Police that their year after year of police budget increases have no tangible impact on reducing crime rates.

[Douglas Yardley @douglasyardley]

Great people to work with!

[@thebikebrigade @thebikebrigade]

The Brigade was formed 4 years ago today, as the 1st lockdown set in. We continue to ride each day in great numbers to support incredible community orgs & our neighbours in need. We thank each & every one of you bad ass people on bikes.
