@OhUrbanity Exactly!👏🙄

Bicycles and their riders are not going away. Wake up and smell the 21st century @ONgov 🚲🚲🚲

Super fun event this Saturday! Everyone welcome - cargo bike not required. Dress up and join us at Pedaal - Coffee + Bikes for some Halloween fun: bike parade, treats, costumes, and prizes!

What is wrong with Toronto’s transportation department? This is flat-earther stuff. Will @oliviachow call them on this?

I’ve spent a lot of time in St Peter Port this week, a charming Guernsey town with cobbled streets and a beautiful harbour.

It’s a special place for me personally, as it’s where my journey into campaigning for people-friendly streets first began. Here’s what happened ..

@TPS_BikeHart @ParkingTPS What’s the penalty for driving through a red light? It should be the same for blocking bike lane or sidewalk

[Pekka Tahkola 🇺🇦 @pekkatahkola]

It should be compulsory for everyone having to do with funding, deciding,building, maintaining,supervising & operating our built environment to spend at least a week strapped into a wheelchair. In winter. Bad infrastructure, maintenance & traffic violence are human rights issues.

[Chris Kemp (cbkemp.bsky.social) @mindoverdata]

This is just in the span of a few days.
Impossible to ride a bike in #Toronto w/o being forced into traffic by drivers stopped in bike lanes, only to then get honked/yelled at for being on the road. @MayorOliviaChow @DianneSaxe @BicycleMayorTO @BikeShame @TheBikingLawyer #BikeTO

[Evy Kwong @EVYSTADIUM]

still cannot believe we went from this to this

@mbonsma @swingsnest Let’s all chip in a dollar and buy him a backpack

[Hanif Kureishi @Hanifkureishi]

One of the most important parts of any writer’s ability is the discovery of his or hers subject matter, the part of the world that he or she makes their own. It could be daffodils for Wordsworth; Clapham for Graham Greene or Paris for Jean Rhys.

[Friends and Families for Safe Streets @FFSafeStreets]

If the city has $2.2 BILLION to waste on the Gardiner to move a few thousand privileged car drivers, nobody gets to say we can't afford to build #SafeStreets for 2.8 million Torontonians. We absolutely can. The only deficit is that of #PoliticalWill. @JohnTory

NEW: "Vote like it was your loved one whose life was stolen by a preventable crash, or your health and life that was destroyed. Because in the future, if we again elect leaders who value driving convenience above all else, it could be." #TODeadlyStreets

Writers, cyclists, others: @torontoverse digital publishing is looking for pitches relevant to Toronto. One area of interest = transit (also arts, sports, fun, news) https://t.co/RlCDhg1UcZ

@CanadaRobin Amen 🙏🏽 and maybe we should call it something more hopeful, like Vision100%

[Cycle Don Valley Midtown @DonCycle]

Complete streets make space for everyone. Can we have more please?
