Saw *2* other urban arrows during my errands today! I swear there are dozens of us!! #biketo

Biking at 28 Weeks Pregnant This is a series I'm doing where I chronicle my time cycle commuting while pregnant. You can see the previous entry at 24 weeks hereRecently, I’ve hit my 28th (!!) week of pregnancy and with the snow/...

I recently passed my 28th (!!) week of pregnancy and I'm still biking. I write about it here if you are curious  -> www.jackieguan.ca/post/biking-... #biketo

TLDR - I find biking easier than walking a lot of the time

Another beautiful day ☀️! I know real Spring and warm weather won't be here for another few weeks but I'm loving that I can go out for a walk with no jacket today <3 #spring

I had not heard about the Gremlins show at all! Thanks for the write up

Monkey Puppet meme where there's 2 photos of a monkey, the first is him look at a side angle, the 2nd is looking forward. Meme text says 'Me as a car free person when gas goes up another 6cents'.

Just mindin' my own business as a car free person... #biketo

A checklist with 4 things to do about contacting different lvls of government about issues that matter to me. Text reads: Prov - OSAP cuts, Fed - TTC cuts, Municipal - appreciation for new elevator at Greenwood station, Prov - gambling ads and restrictions

Beyond whining on social media, I'm trying to make a point of writing to my officials more often. Here's the list of ppl I wanna contact this week - a mix of fed/prov/municipal and not all negative things.

Learning Curves with the Urban Arrow - The Good, The Bad and the Ugly It’s been a few weeks since we got the Urban Arrow and with the snow finally melting a bit and the bike lanes cleared, I got a chance to take it out for a spin. Man, it was a decently eventful ride so...

For the few days that the snow melted , I managed to do my first 'real' ride with the #UrbanArrow and wrote about my thoughts here www.jackieguan.ca/post/learnin... #biketo

It's that magical window where the snow has melted enough and it's not too cold that I'm excited to go out and do some bike errands around town today🤩🤩

I'm going to be done the body of my sweater soon and the bike lanes are still a mess 🫠. Thank God it's warming up this week so the snow will finally be melting 🤞#wipwed

Biking at 24 Weeks Pregnant This is a series I’m doing where I document how it feels to commute by bike during my pregnancy every few weeks. You can see the previous ones at 14 & 20 weeks.Or I guess Not biking at 24 weeks pregna...

A short update this week - with so much snow, and poor removal, even though I want to bike and feel capable, it is too unsafe to do so www.jackieguan.ca/post/biking-... #biketo

You can also text him! He actually responds and it's very easy to find his phone # online

There's still so much snow on the ground so I've started #knitting to cope. I'm 2/3rd done the yoke on my first ever sweater! Proud to get this far 🤩

It’s the big day! The appeal hearing @cycletoronto.bsky.social’s successful Bill 212 case is being heard at Ontario’s Court of Appeal. Time permitting I’ll try and live post the proceedings, like I did for the Ottawa convey injunctions back when #lawtwitter was a thing.

With so much snow ❄️yesterday - I'm grateful that we don't own a car since there's *way* less areas to shovel for walkways compared to a path for a car. The other thing is that we have more areas to pile snow that is not as high so it's less strenuous on our bodies. #carfree

Snow covered yard with pine tree

If the snow keeps falling and we've already shovelled twice, and it makes no difference🤔 did we really shovel at all?

First Impressions of the Urban Arrow After our fall test ride, and splurging on Boxing Day, the Urban Arrow was finally ready to be picked up today!!!To be honest, I felt a little bit nervous but also excited. The last time I had picked ...

www.jackieguan.ca/post/first-i... We picked up our brand new Urban Arrow last night from Curbside Cycles and I wrote up my first impressions here.

TLDR - this is a fun bike but it takes getting used to. I'm cautiously optimistic🤩 #biketo #urbanarrow

A wet ride today but nothing my trusty poncho and water resistant backpack can't handle🥰 #biketo

'Crazy lefties': Ford denounces Supreme Court challenge of law allowing Ontario Place redevelopment The Ontario government plans to redevelop Ontario Place to include an elaborate spa operated by a private company.

toronto.citynews.ca/2026/01/08/o... My first time hearing about this - I hope Ontario Place Protectors succeed #onpoli

it was much better in the afternoon and I genuinely enjoyed my ride home!

Bless the 503 and the King priority corridor. More #transitlanes pls🙏

Holy moly the sidewalks are so icey today😨. This morning will be a TTC day 🥲 #walkto

All this time and money wasted on a pipe dream when #bikeshareto is once again posting 20% growth for a 5th yr in a row and bike lanes are outlawed. 😡

When will the Ford govt stop the gravy train and start working for Ontarians again??

Bike share stats showing a 1.5 km ride

Got to do 1 last bit of biking to close the last mile on the last day of 2025. Gotta love #bikeshareto for making trips easy and efficient 🥰 #biketo

Got my Urban Arrow Cargo bike and 👶carseat adaptor for 25% off today at @curbsidecurb.bsky.social 's annual sale🤩

Only 22 weeks until the lil bean is here and we can use the bike to prep and nest in the mean time! #biketo

A line out the door at my favourite new bakery Jupiter Bakehouse on the #eastend. Glad to see new businesses opening and thriving🥰

Random side note but I wish Canadian cities would share more best practices with each other. Vancouver/Victoria/Kitchener-Waterloo/Montreal is doing some great things for urban cycle commuting but when you mention it locally, it seems like it's always dismissed for x reasons. 🙄

greatplainspress.ca/books/thatll... Started reading this book by a #cycling advocate in #Winnipeg and it's *so* good 😍. I wish there were more books about urban cycle commuting from a woman's perspective #biketo

the new lanes are a great upgrade. More of this pls - maybe Dundas St E???

Ford government is not responding to the affordability crisis: Stiles YouTube video by CP24
