Build it and they will come: Annual #ridership of #bikesharing programs in six big cities, including New York, Boston and Chicago, continues to grow after jumping 27% in 2022 from pre-pandemic levels. The trend’s biggest foe? Improper city #infrastructure.

Join our Hack Night on Wheels next Thursday Jun 8th at 6pm for a ride to some of the Bike Crash Report locations (sign up for Tuesday night zoom training if you can volunteer to help) and work on #mapping the infrastructure and maintenance needs for a safe low-stress #bikeNetwork throughout #Portland! #ClimateAction #pdxBikes #VisionZero #pedalPalooza

This is almost five years into the #SouthWestInMotion five-year plan to scrap together a usable #bikeNetwork. I don't think we needed to convene a Stakeholder's Working Group to figure out that one or two of those 19 lanes could be just for people on bikes. TFW you have a designated Major City Bikeway in your #TransportationSystemsPlan / #ComprehensivePlan / #ClimateActionPlan, but don't actually care about anybody being able to bike in #Portland.

Still in awe that #Edmonton city council voted to spend C$100M over 4 years on a city-wide #bikenetwork.

Calgary bike lobby say: "Wow, drool, envy, you're so lucky🍀".

Drivists scream: "🙀$100M?? What about the homeless?? PS: more $ to cops!"

Active transportation cats say: "it's 180 times *less* than the $1.8*Billion* budgeted for cars, & 50% of what is actually needed. PS: poor people can't afford cars. The people living in tents depend on #bikes to get around the city🚴‍♂️⛺..."

Edmonton City Councillor Michael Janz has written a valuable editorial, which the Edmonton Journal has published:

More & more, active transportation is on municipal authority's radar in 🇨🇦.
