Jane van Hoorn @cyclelady.bsky.social · 22/03/2026Our movement Critical Mass made the local news in March 2024. Seemed promising that Council would finally move on building cycling infrastructure but nope… nothing. I’ve been lobbying in my community since 2000. Sigh… leadership please. 010

Jane van Hoorn @cyclelady.bsky.social · 01/07/2025Recently reached a milestone with my e-bike. Since I got my e-bike in 2018, I ride more often and for longer distances. It’s been a fun, enjoyable ride. Quite different from the standard bikes I rode for 30 years. As for those folks who suggest elders can’t ride bicycles… oh yeah?? NOT true. 051
Jane van Hoorn @cyclelady.bsky.social · 22/03/2025People insist they need to drive their children to school because it’s not safe. I have my doubts about this logic. 000
Jane van Hoorn @cyclelady.bsky.social · 12/03/2025I live in a Canadian city where one can cycle pretty much the whole year round. However, in my district, council is super slow to develop bicycle infrastructure. And I do mean slow. In my 25 years of lobbying has resulted in ONE bike lane. Super unfortunate. Some tourists like to cycle 031
Jane van Hoorn @cyclelady.bsky.social · 11/03/2025Last night Oak Bay Council voted to delay the Henderson and Haultain bikeways. These bikeways were identified by council in 2023 as ‘quick wins’ for the community. So.. still waiting for these quick wins’. 011
Jane van Hoorn @cyclelady.bsky.social · 08/01/2025Took down strings of outdoor Christmas lights recently. That was a lesson in frustration in that, try as I might, I can’t seem to get the strings back INTO their original boxes. Anyone have a technique to share to get light strings back into the boxes? OR do you even bother? 010
Jane van Hoorn @cyclelady.bsky.social · 29/12/2024I can only imagine the reaction this would cause in my community, not that it would ever happen as it’s a highly car oriented community but.. it made me giggle. 050
Jane van Hoorn @cyclelady.bsky.social · 23/12/2024What they might be saying soon in Toronto. Hope that attitude doesn’t spread in my community. 000
Jane van Hoorn @cyclelady.bsky.social · 23/12/2024All I want for Christmas (for me and my community)…. 000
Jane van Hoorn @cyclelady.bsky.social · 09/12/2024What? Of course I can be on top of the china cabinet. I can do WHATEVER I want. 130
Jane van Hoorn @cyclelady.bsky.social · 08/12/2024I’ve sure noticed how much bigger vehicles are getting in the 30 + years I’ve been cycling. All the more reason to build cycling infrastructure. 010
Jane van Hoorn @cyclelady.bsky.social · 28/11/2024I was thinking about these words as I walked back from our neighbourhood produce store. It was the second time I had been there this week. The other time, I was on my bike. These words resonate with me as completely accurate. 000
Jane van Hoorn @cyclelady.bsky.social · 25/11/2024This is what it’s like trying to get bike lanes in my community. SO difficult. 140
