We were pleased to sign this statement. Given that transportation produces the largest share of #Ottawa's GHG emissions (44%), it's critical that the federal government support our transition to sustainable modes. Thanks to @velofacts.com for your leadership. #OttRoll #OttWalk #OttBike

Submit comments on proposed legislation to make it not illegal to carry kids on cargo bikes! There are some details about throttles, vehicle weight, and helmets, and I hope the community can provide some consensus and guidance on what we should ask for here. @velocanadabikes.bsky.social

We're all used to massive delivery trucks blocking our streets, but what if we shifted a large chunk of urban logistics to cargo bikes? It doesn't have to be for every package, but making this swap creates more jobs and makes our neighborhoods significantly safer.
