#Montreal bike legend and friend Carl has passed away. We are continuing their fundraising in order to help support his family in their time of grief. Carl helped get my into bike touring many a year ago. www.gofundme.com/f/help-carl-... #BikeSky

Possibly a regrettable decision... but started an Instagram after 10 years off the platform. Pretty much just want to share nice videos of our natural spaces and maybe help inspire people to bike to them. My BSK is more for my humanitarian and activism work. www.instagram.com/barn.dell #bikesky

Excited to share that I’ve become a participatory member of Bâtiment 7. A space where a former industrial site is being transformed into something rare: a collectively governed hub for culture, solidarity, and social experimentation.

Mayor of Montreal somehow does a PR post about a international cycling event coming to #Montreal without mentioning bikes or cyclists. It looks as if they changed the words to athlete and sport. My reply to her attached. #Bikesky

A great opportunity at Bike Hub Vancouver: Director of Advocacy and Communications. Took a moment to check out their staff page. How could you not want to work at a place where almost everyone shows off their bike in their staff photo? bikehub.ca/about-us/new... #Bikesky #hiring #Jobs

I’m currently looking for recommendations for CanCon editors or freelance editors who have experience working with apocalyptic or post-apocalyptic fiction. If you know someone who specializes in this genre (developmental, line, or copy editing), I’d really appreciate any referrals. #BookSky

What post apocalyptic literary trope are you done with in 2025? What realistic scene or portrayal would you want to read in 2026? #Booksky

Montrealers already on the street protesting the closing of bike paths by the new administration. Yelling slogans like : "Bike Paths all year" and "More bikes - less cars" #Bikesky #Montreal

12 years working at a Charity: never asked people for money. Today: my friend Carl, cabinet maker, musician, bike mechanic, and heart of his community has been diagnosed with a brain tumor. Carl has spent years lifting up others through community bike shops and radical kindness. #Bikesky

Climate change is a driver of disaster risk and can lead to conflict, instability and insecurity. 🔥⛈️🌪️ @ifrc.org and @wwfcanada.org estimate that by 2030, 150 million people a year could need humanitarian assistance due to floods, drought and storms. #ClimateChange

Batiment 7 in #Montreal where I volunteer is a real world version of #solarpunk 🌱 A self governing community space focused on community needs. It’s an example of how we can do things equitably, build resilience all while focusing on circular economies. 🐓🌾🪏

Happy to have helped organize Saturday’s Red Line Protest for #Gaza in Montreal with a small, committed team. It doesn’t take many to make an impact, just people who care. Grateful to be part of it. 📸 @fred.msf.ca

Pure bliss at the collective garden tonight. ☀️🌱🌿🪏 If you don’t know: instead or community gardens where everyone has their own plot, collective gardens everyone works together, shares the work and shares the harvest. It builds community resiliency. #solarpunk

Drivers would like less people to drive on their roads. Cyclists want more people to ride bikes on our roads.

I’m thrilled to share that I’ve been accepted into the Master of Disaster and Emergency Management program. As our world faces increasingly complex challenges from climate change to global health crises, I’m eager to deepen my knowledge and contribute to building safer, more prepared communities.

Slowly turning into “that guy” in town who tows more and more with his trailer. Free municipal compost and wood chips sans car. #bikesky #xbiking

Need to get all my moneys worth out of this 25$ trailer. #bikesky #xbiking

Arndell @arndell.ca · 03/05/2025

Trailer is going to be so handy for the garden this summer. A steal at 25$. Saving that on gas alone for all the trips to get soil, municipal compost and wood chips. #bikesky #xbiking

The economy is challenging. The Canadian gov has a good budgeting resource. It helped me get out of debt. Interesting is you can see your expenses compared to average Canadian within your age and wealth group. Now I try to live below my means. itools-ioutils.fcac-acfc.gc.ca/BP-PB/budget...

Will say it again: bikes are the perfect apocalypse vehicle and dynamos are worth every penny. The power is out for 8-9 city blocks right before a huge thunderstorm rolls in. This is one of the Main Streets. #bikesky

The best part about bike friends is that you can not see each other for a season, then reach out and instantly get invited for a bike ride with a whole crew. Again bikes can't solve all our problems... but they can help with the loneliness epidemic among other things. #Bikesky #xBiking

Arndell @arndell.ca · 10/04/2025

Thanks! It seems like such a fun ride. Currently would be hard to store. But it’s part of my life goals list. By current errand runner is lovely but hard to move soil and woodchips in the summer. Looking at different trailers as we speak.

Fifteen years ago, I was arriving on the ground as a logistician for a medical and psychosocial team responding to the devastating earthquake in #Haiti. That was a natural disaster. What Haiti is facing today is a man-made disaster. The violence must stop. Haiti ap simonte sa.
