Toronto bike lane removal. When your infrastructure project has huge police protection and the contractors hide the logos on their trucks and gear, you are in the wrong.

At Bloor and Islington for tonight's #BikeTO direct action against Doug Ford's bike lane removals. The cyclists are spread out from Islington to Royal York but there must be at least a few hundred. The permit starts at 8 PM so expect things to get spicy then. #TOpoli #ONpoli #VisionZero

We are all riding home together
We are traffic

Tips
Ride together in one group at a medium speed
Watch what’s happening around you
Make friends
Have fun

https://criticalmass.melbourne/

The Ride: Ride together in one group at a medium speed

Keep the ride together through side streets & intersections, see corking tips below.

It’s up to you, don’t get the ride too strung out, ride leaders at front with maps/directions, back of ride stays in touch with everyone.

See a car shaped space in the ride? Fill it and keep us together!

Corking

Corking, when needed, keeps the ride safe & together.

Public transport, trams & emergency services are our friends so do not block them.

Sometimes drivers may try to squeeze their cars into the ride. Most won’t but it pays to watch what's happening around you.

How to cork: 3-4 riders stay near the ride and stay stationary at each intersection point where light signals aren’t long enough for the ride
to travel through in one group.

If you want to do corking ensure you have other riders with you, stay neutral, polite and always de-escalate.

Corking is also useful on side streets to protect the ride.

Use your voice or bell to alert others.

Say ‘thank you for waiting’ to drivers when you return to the ride.

Cities should be paying people to bike. Cities should be buying people e-bikes. Cities should be rewarding people for convincing neighbors to ride bikes. Every trip by bike is a net financial gain socially. And it compounds, the more people who do it.

Truth is somewhat more nuanced, Yarra council set the tender details then didn't wish to negotiate either better responsibility, a improved deal or any on-road car parking space for corrals.

Quoted in The Age last night, after council voted to cancel share bikes. Streets Alive Yarra president Jeremy Lawrence suggested that if bike parking on local footpaths was the issue, on-street bike corrals could be added to every street in Yarra, “just as there’s a car park in every street”.

The truth is Yarra Council will not negotiate the E‑bike Share Scheme Tender, including a better deal for council or ebike/escooter corrals, on-road parking etc, in exchange for *any* car parking spots. It's short term vindictive politics. Meanwhile in NSW: www.nsw.gov.au/ministerial-...
