There are so many days when I can't imagine a better way to commute than on my bike. Today was another of those days. From a local street bikeway working as intended (& a crossing guard bird whispering!) to a #BikeJam chat at an intersection, #BikingBuildsCommunity #BikeHFX
POV from a bike of a residential street in Kjipuktuk/Halifax, NS. On the far left, a crossing guard is attracting birds onto his hand as he waits to escort families over the cross to the nearby school, five people on bikes are in the shot going in different directions and there is early morning sunshine breaking through the trees. There are also houses in the background and the ubiquitous publicly subsidized storage of private property (parked cars) in evidence. Two people on bikes are waiting in front of me for a break in the traffic to cross an intersection in Kjipuktuk/Halifax. Not in the shot is a cargo bike behind me on my bike. There is sunshine coming through the trees in the background and buildings on either side of the street. Road markings that are wearing off denote that this is a local street bikeway and bike lane.

This makes sense. I visited Haarlem by bike in 2018 with my sister. We cycled from Amsterdam on lovely safe paths. I took so many pics of kids & families cycling there. Here's my fav which really sums up this article - 2 carefree teens chatting together while sharing a bike #BikingBuildsCommunity
Image of a street in Haarlem near Amsterdam. The street is block paved and pedestrianized, with shops on either sid and signs of construction like scaffolding and a skip. There are people walking along the street and 2 teenaged girls in the foreground on a bike. One girl is peddling, the other is sitting on the front rack facing her. They are conversing together, and look carefree and independent.

The world is a scary place right now, so it's the everyday acts of kindness that keep me going. Dropping off hot meals, bread & snacks with the #Halisky #BikeBrigade & meeting the people who prepped the meals has filled my heart today #BikeHFX community is the best because #BikingBuildsCommunity
A community fridge filled with hot meals in foil trays, along with bread, snacks and cutlery to support community food security. The fridge door is open and the concrete sidewalk is in the foreground.
