A car buried in snow
A row of cars buried in snow on the street
Barely visible cars buried under snow on the street
Whoa, snow ❄️
Indeed!

And now for something slightly different. #toronto #winter

And so it begins… not too bad today in the protected lanes #Toronto #TorontoCycling #WinterBiking
It’s true!
A bright yellow rain jacket with reflective material
The circle of cycling life is complete - adding a high vis jacket to my fall/winter/spring gear!
Traffic in Toronto is already wild… not looking forward to more angry drivers on the road (as a pedestrian, cyclist and occasional motorist)

A white ghost bike attached to a concrete pole with a large chain. The bike has flowers attached the front and back. The sign says “Ali Sezgin Armagan”
Retouched some memorials today and it was great to see the completed protected intersection at St. George and Bloor St. It’s so sad that so many ghost bikes are in one condensed area. These memorials were installed by Advocacy for Respect for Cyclists.

Other option
Very cool to see Google Maps rolling out better bike route information! It now presents options: “Best route” “less traffic” and “more bike lanes.” It also has light green for basic bike lanes and dark green for trails and protected bike lanes (no color change from blue for neighborhood greenways)

Thanks to the roughly 100 people who showed up for today's Rally for Justice hosted by @cycletoronto.bsky.social. Look forward to attending tomorrow's court challenge. #BikeTO #TOpoli #ONpoli #VisionZero
Listen to a snippet of Episode 11 of Future Mending Radio where a friend and I listen to common Ontario bird calls and share jokes, facts and identification tips.
Why not put bird songs in your brain alongside pop songs?
Amazing episode
Agree! I removed the filters
The Bloor bike lane filled with snow, slush and ice

No cycling today or likely this week. If I were a fast cyclist I would take the lane, but that’s not the case! #toronto #wintercycling
Ed Yong is the best!

Such an amazing movie
That’ll be messy! Thanks for the tip
Oof. That’s bad
The Bloor hike lane that is covered in frozen slush with large snow banks on either side
I think it’s melting? Maybe a good time to get my bike tuned up and focus on walking for the next week #Toronto #WinterCycling
Advance polls are OPEN in Ontario starting today
You don’t need a voter card if you didn’t receive one yet
Bring ID and get out there vote
Lego surrounds a pole and it forms a vertical city. The background shows a snow-filled road and sidewalk
Very cool Lego pole #toronto
A snow-filled sidewalk with a few paths created. It’s very messy and slippery.
This was yesterday’s walk into work - you can’t see the depth, but this is on top of a snowbank! The plows pushed the snow onto the sidewalk and nobody cleared it. Took the main roads home and they were in much better shape.
Yup. I’ll be walking for the next week or so! Then I’ll get my bike tuned up for the spring 😊
The Bloor bike lane which is only partially plowed

Won’t be riding today 😊
Great pic!
