Don’t miss I Light HFX. The weather is looking warm (by recent standards) but a little damp. But we won’t let that dampen our spirits, we’re Haligonians!

6pm tomorrow (Saturday, Nov 8) at the Dal Quad by the Dal/Kings Bike Centre.

A little late getting this up, but I had a great Halloween this year. I put together a costume for the first time since childhood. @criticalmasshfx.bsky.social was an amazing time, and I can't wait for the next one.

And also to @macg1llivray.bsky.social for bringing THE RIG (that's what I'm gonna call it) and all the marshaling gear.

Hey. Hi. Hello.

In this Halloween Special , I continue HFX By Bike's annual tradition of trying to genuinely scare you using nothing but spreadsheets and graphs.

This year it's all about the city's taxes and why it feels like Halifax can never get ahead.

This night was such a blast. My friend Lael dressed up as a dragon to match my knight. And she indulged me in taking some absolutely badass pics! ##Halifax #criticalmass #cycling #HfxBike

I need to give a very big shoutout to the #BikeHFX marshals tonight. There were only 4 plus a lead and a sweep but they did well in picking their spots to cork and running up the pack.

Tonight's Hallowheel event was a huge success! Big thanks to the organizers, marshals and sponsors.

I towed 95lbs of audio, lighting and fog machine on my bike trailer, with the fogger remote on the top tube of the bike! 🚴‍♀️🔊🚨💨

We got to test ride the Brunswick st bike lanes this evening on our Halloween #CriticalMass ride. Very fresh pavement, quite wide! Smooth rolling!
benmacleod.bsky.social Ben MacLeod 馬志斌 @benmacleod.bsky.social · 26d
Brunswick Street, downtown Halifax – the old painted bike lanes are gone, replaced with a wide, bidirectional protected bikeway that looks not far from completion. 🚲 #BikeHfx
Brunswick Street, a newly repaved urban street in downtown Halifax, next to the Halifax Metro Centre. The western side of the street has a new, bidirectional bikeway separated from the traffic lanes by a low curb. There are several 1970s apartment towers in the background. A view of the same new bike lane on Brunswick Street but facing the opposite direction. There are some construction workers working on the bike lane near Sackville Street. The sidewalk on the west side of the street is closed for construction. A view of the old town clock and high-rises of downtown Halifax from Citadel Hill on a sunny, beautiful day.
