Only 60 days until November! #RideYourBike while the weather is still bike weather. Sure November is also bike weather, but it's also grey, rains a lot and the days are short. "Days are short" is the big problem.

I talk a lot about replacing car trips with a bike, but getting started can be overwhelming. A friend of mine just built findtheright.bike. It’s a 4-question quiz to help you figure out exactly what kind of utility or cargo bike fits your daily life. Try it out, share it with friends and family.

narrowing car lanes is a good way to force low-speed streets in addition to a way to provide bike lanes without getting caught in the province's stupid legislation. bike on, toronto. the province can try, but this is a city that walks, bikes, and takes transit in huge numbers and that won't change.

Barbara Gray, city's general manager of transportation: “Education is the first line of defense” Actually, no. Proper infrastructure that is intuitive to use and suitable for all ages and abilities is the first line of defence.

Delightful ode to the #ErieCanal trail, of which I solo cycled a glorious 400km last summer. I loved it so much I’m planning to return in 2025 to finish the eastern portion. The depths of winter is the best time to plot summer escapes. Via @sebmodak.bsky.social apple.news/A1f6PepjnS8K...
