Are the stairs meant to circumvent the flooding? And there to stay, you think? It floods every year there, no?

Near one of your favourite spots. It won’t be passable soon.

Le vélo comme baume au cœur. Merci, vélo.

Cycling as soul therapy. Thank goodness for my bike.

Le vélopartage à Ottawa, c’est maintenant!

Notre réseau de transport en commun est en crise. Le vélopartage peut changer la donne! Le quart des déplacements fait moins de 2 km — une distance qu’on parcourt facilement à vélo. 1/2

Ottawa Bike Share Poster

It’s time for bike share in Ottawa!

Our transit system is in crisis and our roads are congested. Bike share can help! A quarter of trips in Ottawa are under 2 km—well within bikeable range.

Bike share is affordable, accessible, and efficient.

Thank you.

Done. Go enjoy. 😉

Huge potholes under water taking the whole width of a painted bike lane, making it not passable

Bonjour Ottawa. Good morning.

#autowa

Wait for it.

🤣🤣🤣

Tell me you only care about one mode of transportation without telling me you only care about one mode of transportation.

Trainyards, Ottawa. There were no bike racks in sight. #autowa

Tout mignon. Il faudrait y aller. Et tu en profites pour faire le tour du lac de Malbuisson et du lac de Remoray (un tout petit tour).

Tout à fait.

Tu connais Port-Titi ?

Et zut ! Mes origines sont démasquées. 🤪

Oh. Il fait quand même -11 ce matin. Mais oui, des amies m’ont dit qu’il avait fait froid dans le Haut-Doubs.

Dans la campagne autour de Besançon, ça se peut que les arbres fruitiers aient souffert. Les cerisiers et les pruniers étaient déjà en fleurs.

Ottawa school crossing guard dies after being hit by truck | CBC News A school crossing guard has died after being injured in a hit-and-run collision in south Ottawa Monday morning, according to city police.

If our elected officials cared about the safety of people outside of cars, starting with kids, we wouldn’t need crossing guards. Our streets would be safe regardless of human error.

But here we are. A crossing guard lost their life on duty. We should all be outraged.1/3

What better thing to do on a Sunday afternoon than ride in a snow storm, do some board media training and ride home on snowy roads. ❄️

Always good to learn how to better communicate and get our point across. 🎤

50+ MPs contacted! 🇨🇦 A massive thank you to the cycling community for stepping up.

We need one final push to protect the $500M Active Transportation Fund for the 2026 season. If you haven’t emailed your MP yet, please do so by Friday! 🚲 (1/2)

Happy to see women recognized for their expertise and contributions towards better cities.

Very proud of our own Cassie Smith, VP + founder of Kidical Mass Ottawa.

Hats off to Koko Agborsangaya (Black Girls Biking NCR), Jill Wiggle (CAWI) in Ottawa & a wink to Rebecca Denley in Yellowknife (hi!).

When you don’t have heat at home and you’re told it won’t get fixed till tomorrow… you go for a bike ride to warm up and enjoy… the +14 sunny weather.

Not that I need an excuse for a bike ride. 🙂

How was the ice today? I’d like to go one last time. But I worry about the condition. I’m not the best skater.

Screen capture of the Public Works and Infrastructure Committee members, including the Bike Ottawa representative.

On February 26, 2026, Bike Ottawa delegated at the Public Works and Infrastructure Committee on the topic or right turns on red (link to video in post).

We encourage you to watch all the other delegations who had compelling arguments, data, and personal stories.

🤣🤣🤣

Cyclists and pedestrians waiting at their respective crossride and crosswalk on a red light. Towards the top left, one can see a sign banning right turns on red.

As people outside of cars, we’ve all been at the receiving end of right turns on red. How many near misses have you experienced or witnessed as a result? Yet City staff recommends against a blanket ban of right on reds.

Oppose their recommendation. Take action now! 👇

Bike rack mostly buried in snow. A bike is locked to it. Both wheels are had buried in snow as well.

Tonight’s bike rack at Théâtre de l’île, Gatineau. Rode there and back mostly on sidewalks (powder or hard packed) for safety purposes. Too much slush on roads and not safe for anyone.

Piste cyclable non séparée sous la neige. À gauche, la route est bien déneigée. À gauche, le trottoir est bien déneigé aussi.

Les politiques de déneigement désavantagent-elles certains plus que d’autres? Certainement. Elles sont étroitement liées à l’équité en matière de déplacement. Écoutez. 👇

Does snow clearing prioritize some people over others? Have a listen (in French)

Bike Ottawa’s Take on Racks A few years back, Bike Ottawa convened a bike parking working group. They established recommended standards for bike parking and shared widely with the city, with community members, and on the micr…

We often hear from people about the lack of bike racks at their destination or people wanting advice before emailing their councillor to ask for racks to be installed. Here’s our take on it. 👇
