10 ans après, Paris et la Nation toute entière rendent cette semaine hommage aux victimes du 13 novembre 2015, à leurs familles et à leurs proches.
En leur mémoire, la Tour Eiffel s'illuminera en bleu, blanc et rouge mercredi 12 et jeudi 13 novembre dès la tombée de la nuit.

We wish the Honourable Ministers Julie Dabrusin (Minister of Environment & Climate Change), & Rechie Valdez (Minister of Women & Gender Equality, Secretary of State, Small Business & Tourism) had collaborated to get E-bikes, cargo bikes & bike tourism into @mark-carney.bsky.social's plan. #CDNpoli
What I will say is most of of e-bike customers, and ALL of our e-cargo bike customers report using their cars less after they purchased their bikes.
That was the reason why they bought it, do reduce the amount of driving they were doing.

EVs could get more expensive in Canada. Are e-bikes the right fit for you? - National | Globalnews.ca
With surveys suggesting Canadians are feeling the strain from vehicle ownership, many will be looking for an alternative. For many, the answer may lie beyond the car.

Snow in my lashes. Ice in my brows.
Nothing makes me feel more alive…except my ride home tonight without studs.

Cargo biking, 99 years ago. Came across this in a photo archive, unfortunately with no info on who or where, just the year, 1926. But it made me think of @lauragmitchell.com and her lovely feed of her commutes to school and around town with her children.

I recently rode back home from University, and flying past gridlocked cars on 114st made my heart feel lifted again. Driving to and from work so regularly was crushing my soul, and I had to force myself to repeat mantras to find the motivation to get through the day.

This can't be understated! The new mayor of Edmonton is a year round (yes, even in winter!!!) cyclist.
And my ward elected a councillor who was a city transit operator.
I have high hopes for what this council means for active transportation and transit.
