In the Toronto Star, @GraphicMatt examines how we manage the flow of people through busy intersections. Unfortunately sometimes the focus moves from people to private cars.

“…the best long-term solution to Toronto traffic remains creating alternatives to car travel that are fast and safe, so people don’t need to drive at all.”

Terrible news from Penticton, BC whose city council voted to stop work on protected bike lanes until the end of the council term in 2026. We road safety advocates can never take our progress for granted. #shame #BikeTO #BikeTooter #TOpoli #cdnpoli https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/bike-lanes-penticton-1.7003386

I hit the ravines today and the leafs are really starting to pop off if you venture into the wilderness north of Bloor. Don't tell the Spit about my side piece tho. Tx.

For those who aren't on Twitter, the Richmond RCMP released a disgusting video recently on pedestrian safety which was soundly ratioed on that platform for its victim blaming tendency. This article from Cdn Cycling also has a great response from The Biking Lawyer. https://cyclingmagazine.ca/sections/news/the-biking-lawyer-had-the-ultimate-troll-in-response-to-a-ridiculous-ad-from-the-police/?fbclid=IwAR3VLoYL3VeyQhHiIPyBHLnTwgSiFYN31pJAlVU-K47DDqlqL_b9Ma2rBk8_aem_AQFG38Ru8zsxmY9tLvE-qg05pYQa6TNcZhfxKPeLtovbs6N4kad0I0tccRiHXXVGqNY

Last Wednesday, I had a chance to speak with @mbonsma about her passion for data, advocacy with @bikeottawa, and her current postdoctoral research on cycling stress levels in Toronto. The interview is now up on my blog. #BikeTO #ottbike #BikeTooter #TOpoli #VisionZero http://www.twowheeledpolitics.ca/2023/10/data-science-with-madeleine-bonsma.html

Today in no-quarter #Toronto #bikeTO combat cycling: want a StVZO-approved front light with a high beam button? They exist but they're not cheap: https://www.lupinenorthamerica.com/product/sl-ax-2023/

Oh you're OK with ignoring reasonable safety concerns about beam shaping? Got you covered too: https://magicshine.com/products/monteer-12000-mountain-bike-light

What's that? You're OK with throwing only 500 lumens but you want them in a circle the size of a pizza up to 2km away? You got it: https://www.firefly-outdoor.com/en-ca/collections/lep-series/products/fireflylite-lep01-hunter-tactical-flashlight , beam looks like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/FireflyLite/comments/175lkqa/death_ray_beamshot_hunter_lep01/

Got a letter published in the Toronto Star calling for fine equity between parking & #TTC fare evasion, considerably higher permit parking fees to match off street lots, and higher permit fees for SUV's & pickups. #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli https://www.thestar.com/opinion/letters-to-the-editor/harris-created-most-of-the-problems-ontario-faces-today-letters/article_fe1b89df-0ef2-5705-acb0-c05f8e1f32ae.html

Since submitting that letter, City Council approved increasing some parking fines from $30 to $75 since the old fine was less than the daily maximum rate in some areas. Still a lot less than the $425 fine for #TTC fare evasion. #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli https://secure.toronto.ca/council/agenda-item.do?item=2023.GG6.25

Given upcoming consultations for Portland-Dan Leckie and the Avenue Road Study, my latest blog post discusses these projects as well as some recent site checks on Palmerston, College, and Bloor. #BikeTO #BikeTooter #WalkTO #TOpoli #VisionZero http://www.twowheeledpolitics.ca/2023/10/october-2023-consultations-and.html

To anyone who’s walked along #AvenueRoad in #Toronto and felt like it’s a speedway - you are right: on some parts the average speed is 60-70kmh (posted speed limit 50).

Consultations about reducing speed and lanes on Oct 19. Please go if live, walk or bike in the area.

What an awesome turnout for the final leg of MPP Joel Harden's #SafetyRide from Ottawa to Toronto! At least 50 people showed up in #ScarbTO alone which swelled to at least 150 by the time we got to Nathan Phillips Square for the slow roll to Queen's Park. Great to see several #ONDP MPP's & Mayor Chow attend. #BikeTO #TOpoli #ONpoli #VisionZero https://strava.app.link/1p11MebNmDb

My colleague was intentionally struck by someone on a motorcycle while riding in a #BikeTO lane, he has been pretty severely injured. Police are looking for the culprit. https://www.tps.ca/media-centre/news-releases/57376/

You can see video of the incident on Dave Shellnutt's twitter. https://twitter.com/TheBikingLawyer/status/1701946851463766320

I can't tell you how good it feels to cruise down the street with a month's worth of pantry supplies on a friggin bicycle. This machine is magic.

Just had a nuts encounter w/a driver.

We’re cruising as a family (2 bikes, 2 kids) down Havelock, a quiet residential street.

A driver in a minivan swerved around me, barely missing me, so she could get to the red light faster.

I caught up, and gave her a piece of my mind. She pulled out her phone, and began screaming at me:

  • how dare i touch her car
  • cyclists have to share the road
  • she didn’t actually hit me

After she turned left at the red light at Dovercourt w/o signalling #bikeTO
