@isaaams You're welcome! It's an oldie but a goodie. Happy Trails!!! (and or course, thanks for the business and shout-out; both are always appreciated.)

Dad was born 85 years ago on March 21, 1939.
And thankfully he didn't buy into GM's version of the future, but led us down a more sustainable path.

Eternally grateful for his leadership and counter culture example.

This is 1939's "Futurama," a model built by GM to present their vision for the future of American cities at the World's Fair.

@bikebooksbeach @MacQueensBike fantastic! We're recruiting volunteers now to learn how to pilot the trishaws, and will be doing information sessions at our host locations for people who'd like to go out in the next few weeks so stay tuned! You can sign up to volunteer here: https://t.co/MTjeM6EZ6H

@BethPJohnston @ChtownPE Good news - Cycling without Age is already here! @bfcpei has two trishaws - one at Andrews in Stratford and another in Charlottetown that will be launching very soon. Visit https://t.co/liAF7tjNAg for more info #PEI

We have a super social biker friend at Andrews in Stratford that would love this. This is good news.

IMPORTANT: The Canadian Federal Government will no longer be funding “large new road projects” according to Canada’s environment minister. Rather, funding will favour public transit and active transport (walking and biking) infrastructure. https://t.co/3PSOzA2FOL

@DarcieLanthier We love what we do and are grateful for our loyal customers. Especially those who share their satisfaction with others. It's true, many people just need 1 ride on an e-bike and immediately want to get one!

[Isaac Williams @isaaams]

Good news, Confederation Trail will remain dedicated to non-motorized users.

Separate funding initiatives to grow ATV network, tourism.

Few people realize it, but this study shows the average cost of owning a vehicle in Canada is $16,000 per year.

Building cities that allow families to drive less or own fewer vehicles would go a long way towards solving affordability and cost of living.

From Oulu, Finland. Bicycle capital of the world. Where their city council evidently has a more sustainable long term vision and plan than @ChtownPE.
If you build it, they will use it. We need bold leaders committed to improving the lives of residents of all ages and backgrounds.

[University of Oulu @UniOulu]

To our students it is never too cold to ride a bicycle. ❄️

Hint for those who frequent the Charlottetown Farmers Market. It's right on the trail...

[(((Matthew Lewis))) cults & consequences @mateosfo]

I ride a bicycle & walk & I 100% endorse charging pedestrians/biklings full cost for use of public infrastructure. Make it proportional to spatial needs/impact, let drivers do same.

As a show of good faith: I'd gladly pay $100/year!

That puts driver fees at $16 million.

Each.

[Urban Cycling Institute 🚲  @fietsprofessor]

You cannot seriously reduce carbon emissions without a clear and consistent plan to replace driving by walking and cycling.

How is your city/country doing?

Climate change is real.
While Santa's not, those of you who still make believe are free to change the narrative.
Santa upgraded to a cargo bike because the weather's too warm for reindeer & a sled.

[CycleGaz™ @cyclegaz]

Just spotted Santa upgrading his sleigh to a cargo bike this year! 🎅🚲

He's now dashing through the snow with a sack full of gifts, but where did he park his reindeer?

[MacQueen's Bike Shop & Island Tours @MacQueensBike]

This summer after picking up garbage strewn out back of the shop one morning, when I later saw crows perched on the fence, I told them to scram, but the mechanics said Danny feeds them. They looked at me like, "right, lady". They were so fat they could be mistaken for ravens.

Reminder to our ATV friends: it's not too late to join the revolution. We're just getting started!

@JessWoodchuck 🤣 We caught (and called out) one of them doing exactly that already, a Stratford town councillor, no less!
