This latest Not Just Bikes clip is an hour and a half cringe-a-thon about John Forester's discredited vehicular cycling rhetoric! It also mentioned how California considered protected intersections in the 1970's before Forester killed the idea. #BikeTO #BikeSky www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRPd...

Leamington Tce closed at the top, for the nth gazillionth time, for repairs to the giant holes that have there for decades 😳 No need for through-traffic there, why not leave it closed? The 🌍 hasn’t ended, every time it has been shut! Passable by bike and foot #EdTravCyc #bikeSky

Urban street ended in a T junction, closed to cars by cones and signs. A park with autumnal trees in the backdrop. The sky is blue with light clouds

Dr. Carrie Mitchell of @uwaterloo.ca was recently featured on @biketalk.bsky.social discussing the Ford government's ban on speed cameras and bike lanes. Worth a listen. #BikeTO #BikeSky #TOpoli #ONpoli #VisionZero

Thanks @ohtheurbanity.bsky.social for not only encouraging Montréal residents to go vote on Sunday in their latest clip, but also highlighting how low cost cycling infrastructure is compared to other road and capital works projects. #BikeTO #BikeSky #VeloMTL #TOpoli #polmtl #VisionZero

Beware, Edmonton & Calgary. Marlena will try to distract Albertans from the horrendous mismanagement of healthcare & schools, attempts to bust unions, corruption by copying Ontario's lead. They'll fail, but not before they waste our tax dollars, and time. #bikesky #yegbike.

#Bikesky: please share your favorite* "bike lane ends" pics! I'm refreshing some teaching material and would love to use your images (w/ permission & credit, ofc) *by which I means the ones most intent on killing you #BikeLane #BikeLaneEnds #CarBrain @bikesky.social

English: I'm worried for my #VeloMTL friends. According to the polls, anti-bike candidate Soraya is in the lead three weeks before the Montréal election. Luc Rabouin & Craig Sauvé need to unite their efforts in order to stop Soraya. #BikeSky

Je suis inquiet pour mes amis de #VeloMTL. Selon les sondages, le candidat anti-vélo Soraya est en avance trois semaines avant l'élection de Montréal. Il faut que @lrabouin.bsky.social et @craigsauve.bsky.social unissent leurs efforts afin d'arrêter Soraya. #BikeSky lactualite.com/politique/mo...

Some personal proof that ebikes and protected bike infrastructure are life changing. Spouse just hit 1k on her new bike in the 2 months since she got it. Went from almost never riding to daily commute of over 15km each way. #OttBike #BikeSky

One gem I found when reading @lisastokes.bsky.social blog this morning is how Eastman QC has a public e-bike charging station. Something which Toronto and the rest of Ontario need to get on board with ASAP! #BikeTO #BikeSky #ottbike #HamOnt #TOpoli #ONpoli

Here's a jolly good UK based video about five common anti bike lane lies that get frequently used by our opponents and how to counter them. It also includes a Toronto reference about bike lanes boosting businesses. 😉 #BikeTO #BikeSky #TOpoli #VisionZero www.youtube.com/watch?v=xi8g...

Further to yesterday's personal distance record biking 150 kilometres from Toronto to Niagara Falls, my blog post about the ride is now up for your viewing pleasure. #BikeTO #BikeSky www.twowheeledpolitics.ca/2025/10/fina...

Finally Biked Toronto to Niaga...

They Think They Own The Road! By me and @postcardsbybecky.bsky.social Read more cartoons! #PoliCartoon Help us make more! patreon.com/barry #bikesky #safestreets

TRANSCRIPT OF CARTOON

This cartoon has four panels.

PANEL 1

A car and a pickup truck are pulled over on the side of an overpass. There’s an exit ramp with white and green stripes going across it, which in some cities indicates pedestrian and bicyclist crossings. The driver of the car, a woman in an orange top, is walking towards the driver of the pickup, who has gotten out of the truck. He's wearing a blue cap and a red tshirt.

WOMAN: Hey there. I see you're pulled over. You need me to call for help?MAN: Thanks. I'm having the worst day ever!

PANEL 2

A closer shot of the truck driver as he rants. His face is framed by two yellow caution signs with bicycle icons and arrows pointing to the green and white crosswalk lines. The concerned woman is behind him.

MAN: I was just driving along and bam! A bike came out of nowhere! No chance for me to see it coming! Stupid bike riders think they own the road!

PANEL 3

Looking worried, the man points to a dent on his truck's front grill. 

MAN: I got a big truck so I'd be safe on the road — and see what happens? Just look at this ding on my truck!

PANEL 4

From the ground in front of the truck, a hand comes up, forefinger raised to get attention. The woman is shocked; the man is annoyed.

BIKER (weak shaky voice): Sorry to interrupt but could you call me an ambulance?MAN: Hey! It's not all about you!

CHICKEN FAT WATCH

Chicken fat is obsolete cartoonists' lingo for unimportant but amusing details in the art.

PANEL 2: A highway

At last, I made it to Niagara Falls and now on the GO train home. The final distance broke the 150 km mark when my previous high was 115 km. Had to walk my bike up a couple of brutal hills up the Niagara Escarpment though. #BikeTO #BikeSky strava.app.link/DMLBhEY5dXb

2025-10-05

About 107 km in what will be my longest ride yet from Toronto to Niagara. Stopped by Campden General Store for some much needed food (including ice cream) and rest. Maybe 40 km to go. #BikeTO #BikeSky

2025-10-01

Took a read through this new active transportation memo from @buildtoronto.com. While there are some things I agree with such as the need to build bike lanes faster & remove parking spaces, there are some serious problems that must be acknowledged. 🚲🧵 #BikeTO #BikeSky #TOpoli #VisionZero (1/5)

Earlier today, I got to check out Open Streets Hamilton given Toronto hasn't held one since 2022. My blog post about the event is now up, while I encourage you to sign & share the petition at tinyurl.com/OpenStreetsPetitionTO. #HamOnt #BikeTO #BikeSky www.twowheeledpolitics.ca/2025/09/open...

While some Canadian provinces such as Ontario, Alberta & Nova Scotia have been attacking bike lanes as of late, the Trump administration has taken things further by pulling federal trail & bike grants that are deemed "hostile to cars". #shame #BikeTO #BikeSky #TOpoli #ONpoli #cdnpoli #VisionZero
