Photo from Reddit of today’s Critical Mass. There are hundreds of cyclists in this photo and only about 40 people in cars. Yet both groups are taking up roughly the same amount of road space.

I'm grateful to @cycletoronto.bsky.social for at least delaying the removal of the Bloor and Yonge bike lanes. They were how I got to visit my father in his final years, who passed last fall so I no longer need them quite as much (but Bloor is still a main route for me).

Incredibly brazen for the Prime Minister to boast about the “lasting benefits” of expanding fossil fuel production on a day like today. Record-breaking heatwaves. Toxic smoke engulfing cities and towns. Out of control wildfires forcing entire communities to evacuate. /1
