Is there a #WayfindingBikeHFX ?
I know people have discussed how to get to the Joe Howe end of the COLT, but can't find the thread

About 110 people on their bikes had a great time at I Light HFX 2025, jointly organized with Dal/Kings Bike Centre. Big thanks to our sponsors, Wagners Law, Halifax Cycles, Giant Halifax and Long Alley Bicycles. Also thanks to the ride marshals, Halifax Bike Party, and all the organizers.

Absolutely delightful I Light Hfx tonight. A little dampness can’t keep Haligonian cyclists from a shiny party.
It was lovely to see so many #BikeHfx people tonight! I managed to chat with more folks than usual tonight but I still missed a bunch of you. Hi!!!

Here are the #BikeHfx accommodations during construction over the Almon bike lane. Note it is now a shared space with pedestrians. Still, excellent to see!

Hallowe'en is just around the corner and it is one of the most dangerous days for children. Here are some safety tips:
1) Avoid hitting children with your pickup truck, SUV or other motor vehicle. It is technically against the law to harm or kill a child with your vehicle and you could be charged.

I’m working on a story about an event in #Halifax today. It’s becoming more frequent that I’m the only reporter at some events such at the recent town halls with Mayor Andy Fillmore. I really enjoy covering these stories. They’re produced by a real reporter (me) and not AI!

Look at this! LOOK at this! Bike-specific construction mitigation on a designated local street bikeway!
I don't think I've seen anything of the sort anywhere in Halifax before?
Do I call 311 to say I'm thrilled?!

Our #kidicalmasshfx ride today was a comedy of errors.
Our kidical mass season was uplifting, inspiring. One kid flexed his wings and ditched the parents to ride at the front of the mass. One kid went from a bike seat, to riding training wheels, to riding two wheels.

I forgot my phone this morning so you'll just have to take my word that we had a beautiful #KidicalMassHFX ride in Bedford today. The fall colours are really poppin'! Lots of kids and their adults had costumes.
Big thanks to the organizers and volunteers for making this happen!

Meanwhile, Sobeys and Aquaterra are pulling hundreds of millions of litres of water from wells in Colchester County which they sell as bottled water. For that water, the companies pay the province a total of $769 annually. That's not a typo. It's $769. (Exactly, $768.85.)

The 2022 Dartmouth kidical mass has a special place in my heart. It was our first ride.
We rolled up with a trailer we'd borrowed from someone we'd just met (thanks @envirojen.bsky.social !), test rode a "stranger's" e-cargo bike, and totally changed our bike trajectory

A 🧵 of my reflections on #KidicalMassHfx.
In 2022 (our first season) our Dartmouth ride had ~12 participants.
In 2023 we had 76, and in 2024 we had 90.
Yesterday, 130 people rode bikes with us in Dartmouth, in support of our kids safety and independence in their communities.

“Riding on the hilly streets of downtown Dartmouth is also a demonstration that the limitations to what kids can do on their bikes are not about the geography or their physical abilities, but about the infrastructure needed to enable safe cycling.”
