🎃 Wishing everyone a safe + happy #Halloween!
Tonight our streets belong to little ghouls + goblins.
SLOW DOWN. PUT THE PHONE AWAY. STAY ALERT.
If you must drive, go before or after trick-or-treating
OR better yet, walk, roll, or take transit. 🚲🚶♀️

I have had this meeting in my Calendar for a while now. On June 1 Clr. Pauls told us at Bike For Mike that anything we need just ask. We told her that we need safe routes for students and families to get to school and around their neighbourhoods.
Reminder that there's meeting in Ward 7 tomorrow regarding cycling infrastructure on Line ridge Rd.
6:30 pm @ St Catherine of Siena Parish

As Kidical Mass Hamilton turns 1, I’ve ( @cycletherapyham.bsky.social) been reflecting on what it means just not for me, but for the future of cycling in our city. 🚲💛

🧵Why #CyclingMatters to me:
Almost 12 years ago, I weighed nearly 350 lbs.
A short hospital stay for cellulitis turned into a wake-up call.
Doctor said: change your lifestyle — or things will get a lot worse.
Walking wasn’t an option. Back pain. Sedentary life.
So we talked bikes.

We were delighted to have 20 people come out to the second Kidical Mass event of the season, this time hosted in Mountview Park. The warm sunshine was the perfect addition to the family-friendly, no-drop slow roll.

We had such a great time yesterday at the first #KidicalMassHamilton Ride of 2025. We had planned a 2.5 km ride from 1 park to a recreation centre and back, Daniel and Abbie and myself quickly realized we needed to change up the route because a lot of the kids were on Balance bikes. So we did a lap

Ford promised bike lane removals could happen today onward in TO (Bloor W, Yonge, & Uni). That means we’ve got to be vigilant & have our eyes open. If you see construction crews amassing to remove lanes, post/tag local cycling orgs & advocates. Send pictures. Be safe & don’t interfere.

True leadership requires more than just a recognition of the importance of transportation. It requires setting a vision, dedicating resources, laying the groundwork for success, and committing political capital, so that when the work gets tough, projects still get done.
