Excited to see Popwheels e-bike battery swapping cabinets coming to Toronto! A win-win for delivery riders (keeping them fully charged to keep riding and make more $$$) AND, great for all city residents, building safer e-bike upkeep! #cycletoronto #topoli
If you live in #Guelph or the surrounding region, then DM me your photos of bike blockers! Please be lenient if it looks like an emergency.

Don't think I'll ever bike in TO, except maybe a critical mass, but happy to hear this for all those that do!

That Canada is Not For Sale hat really did come right off after the election 🫠
Can someone ask if he's aware it was citizens who filed the injunction to stop the removal of bike lanes, and they have a right to do so?? 🥴

Obviously not everything is won. They might find another consulting firms that is less shameful. And #CycleToronto encourage us to email them so that they don't deliver the 1.5KM of scope they decided to keep.
But we are slowing the project, potentially saving lives and hopefully leaving more […]
![It was with anger and outrage that we learned back in January that a Canadian engineering firm, Stantec, was partnering with the province in their scheme to rip out 19 kilometres of Toronto bike lanes. Stantec's involvement is a clear betrayal of their own stated corporate values and puts them at odds with the majority of transportation planning experts in the province including the Association of Municipalities of Ontario, Ontario Traffic Council, Ontario Professional Planners Institute, and Ontario Society of Professional Engineers.
Over 2,300 letters from supporters like you were sent to senior Stantec executives urging them to rip up this agreement and cancel this contract. Over the ensuing weeks, sources quietly indicated that Stantec was getting cold feet and had reconsidered the extent of their involvement due to public outcry.
Last week, in response to a protest organized by activists from Fridays for Future at Stantec’s Toronto offices, CBC reports that Stantec are on the record that they have reduced the scope of their work:
The statement went on to say Stantec is working on developing technical drawings for “a small section” of the bike corridors, representing about 1.5 km in total. After those drawings are complete, the firm will no longer be involved, [Colin Nekolaichuk, a public relations manager for Stantec] said.
That's still 1.5 kilometres too many. If you haven't already, email Stantec and say so:](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vlats62mz4gjvbmosx7wpup6/bafkreihkpfeqgudnfpfc7hiczaiggz3mmagenqwx3n2plzfxf7iiunstq4)

Well that is interesting.
There was a public shaming campaign against #Stantec engineering firm because of their contract with the Ontario government to destroy our bike lanes in Toronto. There was protests at their office downtown Toronto + an email […]

A side street that is plowed and relatively clear
Adventurous cycling today. Some bike lanes were good, some not so good, but glad I made it to my destination. #Toronto #wintercycling #cycletoronto
🚨The Ford government is dragging its heels on tackling our healthcare and education systems or easing congestion in any real way, but is actively working to rip up infrastructure dedicated to saving lives. Thankfully #CycleToronto filed an injunction.#Bill212 #ONpoli

I’m going to have to get a helmet cam. I’m leaving an alley & a car decides to slowly run me off the road when they had plenty of room. Second time in a short while this has happened. #dougford has made this worse. It was dangerous enough before . #cycletoronto #toronto #bikelanes
Tonight I am planning to bike up thru the University Ave bike lanes (at last). If we're going to rip out brand new infrastructure as soon as the paint is dried, I want to enjoy it at least once. #biketo #cycletoronto (Bloor on the other hand)
Day 684 of our pictures & the Doug Ford sprawl must be stopped. Let's finish this with protecting all our #Greenbelt STOP #Hwy413 the Bradford Bypass & save #bikelanes. #DougFordisaLiar & the #RCMP investigation is underway. #CycleToronto #SafeStreetsSaveLives #Toronto #ONPoli

I hope the China Shipping container is full of #bollards to prevent trucks from parking in bike lanes.
