On Friday, I took my bike on the GO train to Bradford and ride the Lake to Lake Cycling Route to Leslie subway station. My blog post about the ride is now up for your viewing pleasure. #BikeTO #BikeTooter #CycleON http://www.twowheeledpolitics.ca/2023/09/lake-to-lake-route-in-york-region.html

Thanks Joshua Chong for speaking with me for this Toronto Star article on the upcoming protected intersection at Bloor & St. George. Something which #BikeTO advocates have increasingly called for since Dalia Chako's death in 2018. #BikeTooter #TOpoli #VisionZero https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/busy-toronto-intersection-to-get-a-dutch-inspired-makeover-that-will-improve-road-safety-here/article_9e440ad1-e2a8-5d4b-b644-4f10d95d3127.html

Last week, I had a chance to speak with former TCAT Director Nancy Smith Lea about her #BikeTO & #WalkTO advocacy spanning 30 years from ARC to Mobilizing Justice. That interview is now up on my blog. #BikeTooter #TOpoli #VisionZero http://www.twowheeledpolitics.ca/2023/08/researching-active-transportation-with.html

Thanks Luis Lara Palacios & Community Bikeways for this great piece about the need to allow #BikeTO to use leading #WalkTO intervals. While I hope Caroline Mulroney allows this province-wide, Mayor Olivia Chow & Council should consider a pilot ASAP. #TOpoli #ONpoli #VisionZero https://www.thestar.com/opinion/letters-to-the-editor/toronto-should-permit-cyclists-to-advance-with-the-pedestrian-walk-signal/article_9d266e04-16f6-5a31-b386-6c3af5e97a58.html

Disappointed that CARP's Toronto chapter has come out opposing the #HighPark motor vehicle closures (and eventual car-free plan). Those over 65 who support a car-free High Park ought to reach out to CARP ASAP. #BikeTO #BikeTooter #WalkTO #TOpoli #VisionZero https://carptorontochapter.cmail20.com/t/r-e-tthdhyhy-bdutltkhrk-r/?fbclid=IwAR2vIPC_5Fik3tJVp5nR9NIRptna4qBTc74YY3Cm4o2OvsGp6qEocbFgF4w

Neelan - a car free #HighPark supporter - found this disgusting poster in High Park recently opposing the recent park changes. Having biked through it yesterday as part of Critical Mass, I thought those improvements made the park better. #shame #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli #VisionZero

Here's a great recap of yesterday's Critical Mass ride courtesy of fellow #BikeTO blogger Jun. #BikeTooter #TOpoli #VisionZero https://jnyyz.wordpress.com/2023/08/26/august-2023-toronto-critical-mass/

Nice day out for Toronto's first Critical Mass ride in three years with about 15 to 20 people riding. First time I passed by the Bloor bike counter & riding in #HighPark since the improvements were done. #BikeTO #BikeTooter #TOpoli #VisionZero https://strava.app.link/Y7a8dLQ5yCb

The City shared their own update earlier today, but still don't know when the whole project will be done. Interesting timing. #BikeTO #TOpoli #VisionZero #UniRose https://twitter.com/TO_Cycling_Ped/status/1695132082790375656?t=QgglUuNUatmi3vTYbDb9fg&s=19

Here's an important Twitter/X thread about the stalling of work on the College Street Upgrades (which I can confirm as well). Hope Councillor Saxe & the City's Cycling Unit can provide some answers on this ASAP. #BikeTO #TOpoli #VisionZero #UniRose https://twitter.com/lizzhatesme/status/1695085509398175823

Today's Ride: Rode the regular route, the one that I know like the back of my hand, IN REVERSE.

Felt soooooo weird.

Like playing a record in reverse to hear satanic verses. Easy way to get a load of PRs though :D

Great Spacing article by PhD student Thomas Van Laake about the challenges faced by Mayor Olivia Chow and the City's cycling staff in accelerating the expansion of Toronto's cycling network. #BikeTO #BikeTooter #TOpoli #VisionZero http://spacing.ca/toronto/2023/08/22/mayor-chows-cycling-network-challenge/

The Winona bike lanes are great when I can use them #BikeTO #VisionZero [image of a large pickup truck parked in a bike lane]

If anyone is looking for some 'meaty' bar tape, I know a guy.

Stuff looks like it can crawl off your bars and shave itself each morning. Just wild looking stuff.

Given the recently completed Cabbagetown bikeways and progress made along Wellington and College Streets, I recently visited these sites and put up the findings on my blog along with some other updates. #BikeTO #BikeTooter #TOpoli #VisionZero http://www.twowheeledpolitics.ca/2023/08/august-2023-infrastructure-roundup.html
