Toronto Loop Ride - 76 km of trails, bike lanes + gaps in the infrastructure

This past weekend we did The Toronto Loop Ride with @bikewaysto.bsky.social. It was a fun 76 km with a purpose - to draw attention to the gaps in the ride where there's no safe cycling infrastructure. At least we had safety in numbers! #BikeTO truly showed up for this one. youtu.be/gi2p35hlsVs?...

Missed you! But I'm sure you were doing great stuff while we were cycling the Loop in an intermittent hail storm. 😂

As spring rain falls in Toronto, we're reminiscing about the DOWNPOUR we cycled through in Switzerland last summer. 55km with 50-90mm of rain in one afternoon! #Brompton #biketour youtu.be/ijy7Gz9WAcE

"Bicycling has done more to emancipate women than anything else." — Susan B. Anthony, 1896.

Yet today, women only make up 40% of riders. This International Women’s Day, let’s push for ambitious and inclusive cycling policies that make our cities more equitable places for women and girls. #IWD

Our favourite part of the Rhine River Cycle Route was definitely Switzerland! This is Stage 1 from the top of Oberalp Pass. We descended over 1000m and even rode some single track! #biketravel #Brompton youtu.be/olPSvXiCtFY?...

Swiss Alps Hike to Devil’s Bridge On our way to the source of the Rhine River, we stopped in Andermatt to see the Devil’s Bridge.

Thanks to the roughly 60 people who took part in Toronto's solidarity ride for Alex Pretti, as well as to the over 100 other cities around the world who also hosted rides. Here's a video I recorded as the ride passed by Queen's Park. #BikeTO #BikeSky #TOpoli #VikingBiking #StopICE
