#Montreal was rated #1 bicycle city in North America this year.

But the party that won the municipal election campaigned on auditing and removing bike lanes.

They’ve already started in my borough, #Outremont.

So we made our own bike lane this morning. We need to keep our kids active—and safe.

This is a reminder for all cyclists to file your T-7725C with the Canada Revenue Agency to ensure you don't pay any taxes. This is a very real thing, and it is what completely justifies drivers wanting to murder us. Like, it's completely understandable.

Enforcement of traffic laws is a “cash grab” but also we need to “see some tax contribution” from cyclists because we need more money for roads.

Was recently told to essentially “Shut up and stick to bike advocacy” after a post supporting the trans community.
1. GTFO
2. My voice is not some singular thing - bike advocacy is a small part of my makeup-you don’t like me or my position on things refer to point 1

Signed,

Wasted time, wasted money, projects halted halfway through, all because the premier can't be Mayor of Toronto and so now he's got to impose his pigheaded will on everyone. This is infuriating. GOD I hope he's never Prime Minister.
Ottawa says new provincial bill likely kills at least 3 bike lane projects | CBC News
New provincial legislation prohibiting how municipalities can build bike lanes means three projects in Ottawa likely can't move forward and others will get more expensive, according to a city report.

The Ford F150 is obviously the correct choice of vehicle to transport long boxes of supplies and equipment around town on a rainy day. Yep, nothing could possibly go wrong. Pickup trucks are just useful like that, rather than a cargo bike, cargo van, or even a Honda Fit.

Tonight: Driver just comes to a dead stop on a green light when there's no traffic in front of him, nearly getting me hit by a turning taxi ... then they just continue driving up the street. I'm familiar with drivers being psychos, but was this one confused, "being polite" to the taxi, or just lost?

Honestly I don't even know why I have an UNCOUNTABLE number of lights on my bike: front, sides, spokes, rear, helmet, a whole string of blinky lights on the frame; when drivers still just do their thing right through a red light without noticing it or me! This close to serious injury tonight. 🙃

Okay #autowa, no more roads for you until you learn to use the ones you've got correctly. Tonight was several drivers in a row with their lights off after dark, jamming up an intersection that they can't clear, mistaking a two-way street for a one-way and driving right at me to get around a turner.

💔 Alice Wong’s last words: “Don’t let the bastards grind you down.”

We can never thank Alice enough for fighting all the good fights and especially all the hard fights. We all learned so much from your brilliance, your courage, and your indefatigable leadership. We will never forget you.

What passing-bells for these who die as cattle?

Only the stuttering rifles' rapid rattle
Can patter out their hasty orisons.
