In just half a day already well along in construction for the Graham Ave protected bike lane. #bikewinnipeg #winnipeg

Looking forward to the opportunities this will bring #Winnipeg. Stay tuned for some incredible art!

A touchdown in garbage time only served to either ruin or complete someone’s #GreyCup scratcher ticket.

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

Bikes don’t cause congestion.

Cars do.

Great video on the potential for cycling in suburban areas. Lots applicable to Winnipeg. #BikeWinnipeg https://t.co/rHCUiQKVBj

@Palmquist88 @islandLRSD @louis_riel_sd Better bike racks please. No more wheel benders that you can't properly lock a bike to. Make sure they are located in a secure or highly visible location, preferably anchored into pavement.

A suspected drunk driver killed a star hockey player and his brother while they were riding their bikes in New Jersey yesterday. Awful, needless deaths. https://t.co/OPoXBgqF3g

Murray Hamm was a national-caliber Little League backcatcher who later in life became a member of the Manitoba Basketball Hall of Fame as high school coach of the Lord Selkirk Royals. He was a teacher and administrator in Selkirk #RIP @WinnipegNews https://t.co/tvXhRX2v6n

Cool study on the positive psychological effects of sidewalk murals. Local governments seeking low-hanging fruit to improve citizen well-being should ensure funding for public art and placemaking - a cost-effective urban health intervention. #neurourbanism

The CROW Design Manual for Bicycle Traffic dictates any successful network must reflect the principle of "directness".

It means always offering as direct a route as possible, with detours kept to a minimum; often ensuring a shorter journey than in a car.

The Book Bike launched June 20, during Bike Week 2016. This one-of-a-kind cargo bike is outfitted to carry books and information about Winnipeg Public Library to the streets of Winnipeg.

My column. Response to anti-bike lane talking points

• We can’t afford them.
• Nobody rides a bike.
• Winnipeg is a winter city.
• Winnipeg is a car city.
• Cyclists should pay for them.
• They take parking from business.
• They make driving worse.
