🇨🇦 Bike infrastructure is a low cost, high impact solution for housing & health. But $500M in federal funding is now at risk.
If approvals aren't issued now, we lose the 2026 construction season.

Can Toronto get a little Mamdani, as a treat?

I did this interview at Yonge & St Clair, the reporter hoping he'd catch a gig worker bombing down the sidewalk. Instead a pickup truck was parked in the bike lane behind us, and for the entire conversation rider after rider was forced into traffic.

After last nights protest ride with close to 100 cyclists and a herculean effort from local advocates, organizers, and sympathetic councillors, the City of Guelph has reversed course on plans to close bike lanes this winter!

That's how you get a @cyclingmikey.bsky.social!
Was recently told to essentially “Shut up and stick to bike advocacy” after a post supporting the trans community.
1. GTFO
2. My voice is not some singular thing - bike advocacy is a small part of my makeup-you don’t like me or my position on things refer to point 1

All the bike and pedestrian infrastructure in the world will not do people any good unless a city has an efficient and accountable maintenance plan.
I have experienced a huge increase in terrifyingly close passes since the bike lanes filled with chunks of ice, forcing me onto the middle of the road. I'm seriously concerned that someone is going to get hurt.
New @taypace.bsky.social article outlining the many concerns around council’s decision to not plow bike lanes this winter, with some insightful feedback from @activeguelph.bsky.social & @bicyclemayorguelph.bsky.social. This is a mistake and a liability. #Guelph #cycling @thebikinglawyer.bsky.social
Yup, heard about this from friends in Guelph. Very upsetting. You spend money on infra and encourage people to use it, but then cut funding to keep it safe an useable all year? What a waste or resources and potential hazard. If anyone is injured as a result, they should call us.
Vision Zero doesn’t discourage people from moving by a certain mode. It demands we make movement safe. Winter cycling is only ‘unsafe’ when the city chooses not to maintain safe conditions. Not maintaining infrastructure and then blaming the people who use it is the opposite of Vision Zero.
And just like that, Guelph bike lanes will no longer be plowed.
An entire mode of transport has been made less accessible and more dangerous as cyclists will be forced to ride in the middle of the road with limited daylight.

This decision puts lives at risk.
I hope Gibson, Richardson, @camguthrie.bsky.social, Billings, Chew, Busutill, and Hauser don't mind me riding in the middle of the lane when our bike infrastructure is full of snow.
Guelph, Ontario (a small city near Toronto) votes against providing cyclists the same basic winter services that are provided to drivers and pedestrians.

Calvin at a table with the sign, "my safety biking or walking to school is more important than maximizing your driving convenience."
Calvin knows that one more lane never fixes car traffic and we should prioritise AAA cycling infrastructure instead.
