My recreational bicycling club (TBN¹) is having our annual Spring Kickoff breakfast and rides this coming Saturday, May 10th at Etienne Brulé Park, on what the forecast says should be a great day. Since we're trying to recruit, attendance is free for non-members. They say 'register so we can plan food', but if past years are any guide there will be lots available, so you can just show up without much problems. For details, see tbn.ca/event-6101402

"A regular bike lane that we can park in is fine." Toronto just found it's new city motto. #BikeTO

Some great letters in the Toronto Star condemning Doug Ford's plan to appeal the bike lane injunction (and his call for US style elected judges). The verdict is clear. STAY IN YOUR LANE! #BikeTO #TOpoli #ONpoli www.thestar.com/opinion/lett...

Thanks to groups like @pathsforpeople.bsky.social, @bikeedmonton.bsky.social, @yegbike.bsky.social & @bikecalgary.bsky.social for standing up for Alberta cyclists whose bike lanes are under threat. Something we #BikeTO folks are all too familiar with Bill 212. #YYCbike #YEGbike #ONpoli #ABpoli

Family & I went to:
Jane's Walk about density
Free comic book Day @thebeguiling
Walked around #KensingtonMarket
Finished off with groceries for dinner.
All by bike, almost entirely on #bikelanes
This is the safety & freedom #dougford wants to take take away #biketo

A dozen people showed up for today's @janeswalk.bsky.social on Danforth led by @dylanreid.bsky.social & @leescott.bsky.social of #WalkTO, as well as @albertkoehl.bsky.social of @bikewaysto.bsky.social. A nice discussion on bike lanes from a pedestrian perspective & other public space issues. #BikeTO

#cycling #BikeTO if you ride an e-bike and someone gives you grief because it's not a "real" bicycle, ask them if they use an automatic washer instead of one of these beauties --

Per Councillor Amber Morley's latest e-newsletter, construction on the Etobicoke Creek Trail under the QEW could start this fall and be finished by late Spring 2026. #BikeTO #Etobicoke #TOpoli mailchi.mp/0e6b002f648c...

Hey #bikeTO folks -

Can you recommend any groups or clubs or orgs you are involved in related to biking or the state of Toronto's streets?

I've tried a few, but I find getting together once a month to write letters and receive hollow, dismissive auto replies just sucks the life out of me.

It feels like shouting at a brick wall, if a brick wall was giddy for you to be crushed under an SUV.

(also pls recommend any related tags I should check out)

First brevet with a group tomorrow. Should be fun and interesting though it'll also be my first 200+ km ride of the year. On the plus side, my bike has been massively upgraded since my last 200k ride. Cool bonus: Three regional groups (Toronto, Simcoe, Huron) are meeting in the middle for lunch. #BikeTooter #biketo

Ontario Premier Doug Ford is partly responsible for this—he deliberately raised the societal temperature regarding protected bike lanes on this very street. cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/tor #CompleteStreets #BikeTO #ONpoli

Doug Ford, channelling his inner Donald Trump, vows to appeal injunction preventing removal of Toronto bike lanes, because F- cyclists and data, right!

One thing that makes me nervous about this whole thing is Doug Ford could invoke the notwithstanding clause to endanger cyclists in the event the charter challenge decision doesn't go his way. 😡 Sure hope I am wrong about this. #BikeTO #TOpoli #ONpoli #VisionZero

The city of #toronto is requesting feedback on protests. If you #biketo please take some time to fill this out as the cycling community in Toronto has been protesting #bill212 for months now.
