Bike Share seemed like the perfect option to get to Budweiser Stage tonight, but in order to find a spot to dock my bike, I had to circle back 3 docking stations and then walk. A 15 minute bike ride turned into an hour+ journey. 🫠 Lots of people unable to dock. @BikeShareTO

In #Copenhagen, 25% of all trips under 5 kilometers are done by bike, with 40% of those trips being commuted to work and school. 🚲 This is what that looks like at traffic lights. πŸ‘‡βœ¨

Everyone loves #SchoolStreets - even on a Saturday! ✨🀸 I had the pleasure of stumbling across a permanent School Street in #Paris, complete with metal barricades, trees, shrubs, plants, benches, and artwork.
