#winterbiking is for anyone who wants to try.
This is 10s first year with studded tires & she's rocking it, even at -21, feeling like -31.
We are in the suburbs. Cold doesn't stop cycling, only bad snow clearing and bad infrastructure stops riders

Did you have conversations with people at Xmas parties that you’re still thinking about?
Me: it’s criminal that Doug Ford bull(y)dozed Ontario Place & hundreds of trees in the cover of night!
Man: Canada has lots of trees.🌳
What would your response be?

What if—instead of cars—we filled our streets with people, bikes, trees, and life?

Last night I went to a Christmas Party & rode my bicycle because that’s my transportation of choice + it’s reliable, efficient, & fun!
Returning home I rode on clear dry streets as bike lanes on Davenport & Annette were an icy snirty mess. No photos as it was -14C #bikeTO #WinterTO

An active transportation reflection:
Having the privilege to run daily errands by bike, feeling the movement of my body, the cool air on my face, and the mental stimulation, does me so much good. It’s not just about the moment, it’s an investment in my well-being for the long term.

My @torontostar.bsky.social column: I don’t want to jinx it, but there are signs of surging TTC use in Toronto’s downtown
The TTC & City Hall should seize the opportunity to grow ridership more. Things like undercover fare inspectors won’t help. Better service will.

Matt Elliott: TTC ridership downtown is surging. Here’s why I’m worried the transit agency is going to drop the ball
The TTC numbers point to a real opportunity to supercharge ridership — as long as the transit agency doesn’t mess it up.

My @torontostar.bsky.social column: neighbourhood corner stores are beloved staples of communities. But — whoops — they’ve been illegal in Toronto for decades.
Toronto’s bylaws carry a ton of baggage. The weight has kept us from building the kind of city we need.

Matt Elliott: Toronto’s neighbourhoods may be about to get their first new corner stores in more than 50 years. Here’s why it took so long
On Thursday, the city’s housing committee will consider changing the rules so that corner stores in residential areas are no longer illegal.
