Well that's a wrap for Bike Week 2026. The weather didn't always cooperate, but it was a great week and certainly a wonderful 20th Bike to Work Day. Adding in Bike to School was a great addition and we hope to expand that part of our event next year. Thanks to everyone that participated.

We had a great Rolling Through Red River Métis History ride last evening in spite of the weather. We had sun, drizzle, rain, sun shower, sun and then a second round but it was regardless a terrific time. Thanks to all that came out & stuck it out through the rain.

As usual, Bike to Work Day was so much fun! Got up extra early for a 16 km ride and hit up 15 pit stops. Good vibes all around. Thanks @bikeweekwpg.bsky.social and all the pit stop organizers.

It was a great 20th Bike to Work Day even though we suspect some people may have got caught in the rain going home. Thanks to everyone that rode and a special thanks to all 74 Pit-Top hosts/volunteers that were out early to support all the riders.

Always such a pleasure to participate in BikeTo Work Day, especially for their 20th Anniversary. Happy to see one of our all time faves @daveelmore12.bsky.social - thanks to his advocacy, my workplace has a secure bike cage. So grateful! ❤️🚴‍♂️ 7 years and counting for my fair weather bike commuting.

Reducing residential speed limit meaningless without enforcement. Most of this is true, however the 40 kph speed limit, regardless of whether drivers comply, does not represent a truly "safe" speed. The science is clear on this, 30 kph is the safe speed. 40 kph is just a compromise. t.ly/eHq0e

Lets not forget that the pilot project that was the basis for this report spent a couple of years studying traffic speeds and consulting citizens and did not come to the conclusion that matches what many studies and many countries experience had already figured out. 30 kph is where we need to go.

And here we are in Winnipeg with our latest report from Public Works recommending 40 kph. Its a half measure and not the truly safe speed. Its on the agenda for Public Works Committee this Wednesday. Register to delegate or send comments telling them that 30 kph is the safe speed. t.ly/iMOq1

Proposal to reduce Winnipeg’s default 50 km/h speed limit advances. We need to keep our eye on the prize. 30 kph is the true "safe speed." It is true that “it takes… seconds more to go 40 versus 50." Is also only takes seconds to go 30 as well. @safespeedswpg.bsky.social t.ly/-1Etq

Reducing speed limits works but it only happens when our city administration stops greasing the squeaky wheels and looks at it strictly from a safety perspective. Its not whether the majority agree, but whether it is the "right" thing to do.

To carry 50,000 people per hour in each direction, a city needs a 175m wide road for cars. Even if those cars are electric. And then there’s all the parking. OR a city can move A LOT MORE people in a lot less space, with A LOT LESS public money, emissions, pollution, noise etc. Choices. Simple.

Dear Britain, it’s now clear: 20mph zones save lives and don’t slow traffic. Implement them. Slower speeds are working elsewhere and will work here in Winnipeg. Making residential streets 30 kph will make neighbourhoods across our city friendlier, quieter and safer for everyone. t.ly/RpHRA
