7 vulnerable road users killed or seriously injured in 3 weeks in #KitchenerWaterloo. Read our letter to local leaders & police demanding immediate action. If you live in the area contact your local councilor & reach out to us if you need support:

On a planet very close by
A terrible wonderful machine
called the automobile
grew to dominate this planet
Until a guy called Larry invented the answer
The Bullitt cargo bike
And a guy called Harry told the world about it.

Calling all local cyclists to spread the word - looks like it will be a beautiful day - very warm and sunny. :)

My message to every other local elected official who sides with arguments that claim people currently don’t bike on a road so why replace parking with a bike lane: never apologize for prioritizing the safety of all community members over the convenience to some. #GoOutside

Some may think grocery shopping by bike is hard in winter. The reality is mundane and beautiful. This is a thread about shopping for 2 weeks' worth of groceries, in winter, during a pandemic, when a snowstorm hits in #Oulu the world's winter cycling capital.

People aged 10-16 can help UW researchers understand how city design impacts youth mental health.
1. Walk with researchers 1 hr downtown K (parents can tag along).
2. Tell them how you feel.
3. Get a $40 prepaid MC.
Help improve knowledge of how cities work for youth!!

Anyone old enough to remember ABC commentator Howard K. Smith? In 1966, he suggested banning autos from central cities.

. @CityKitchener @berryonline @bilioannidis 2 speeding cars left the road on this curve of Westforest Trail in 2 months. 100s of kids walk to school on that sidewalk daily. We don’t feel safe. Can we please get aggressive traffic calming!! 5 total in 3 years. I was hit in July.

No sir. Every Paramedic Services vehicle has an Emtrac system, which turns the lights green in the direction of travel. There may be a slight delay, but nothing substantial, as we have seen along the LRT line. Less critically injured cyclists is worth it.

Yes, but let’s make it 120k+ so that #Guelph can play too...

Awesome start to #BikeMonthWR! Great bike ride with @citywaterloo Mayor @DaveJaworsky around Uptown Waterloo. We made sure to go and stop @grhospitalkw to ring our bike bells to show support and extend our heartfelt thank you to our healthcare heroes. #CycleWR #ActiveWaterloo

To paraphrase @humantransit: there is no such thing as not enough room for great public spaces. It's about deciding what's important.
