Powell River is hella nice. We’ve seen as many as 5 humpbacks at a time playing a few hundred yards from shore for 4 days straight. Plus, everyone we pass says hello and it’s very walkable. We’ll be back.
It’s beyond tragic. It’s systemic. As cycling numbers increase, we cannot accept the status quo of cyclist deaths.
It is on all levels of government to build systems, regulations, and roads that reach Vision Zero.
We’re still very far from that vision.
It’s officially vacation when you take the work keys off of the key ring. WAHOOOOO!!!

Easy to forget how powerful the ocean can be.

Lots of cyclists! They have an ebike charging station at the front entrance too. Good times!

Camping Canada Day Long Weekend. It’s a thing. Waking up at the break of dawn to the low hum of a ferry passing by and birds chattering above my tent. I love Ruckle Park.

One reason I think it’s important to continue to highlight the disparity on our streets is that most people just don’t see it.
Despite it being obvious to some, so many people don't have clarity because we have done such an incredible job of normalizing this imbalance.
Our living room is north facing and does not get direct sunlight but I love how the sun’s reflected off the condos downtown and onto our walls.
Folks from all over are starting to appreciate our biking infrastructure.
To celebrate the start of Langford’s micromobility program, I took one of the new Evolve e-bikes on an adventure. This is Langford to Victoria and back by way of the E&N and the Galloping Goose. This 30km trip is almost all trail & protected bike lane.
It’s beautiful, it’s safe & it feels amazing.

I live in an apartment on the edge of downtown surrounded by a cluster of 4 storey buildings. Grateful for the healthy and effective urban tree canopy.
This is simply one of the most thoughtful and nuanced explanations of the role that cycling infrastructure plays in Black and Brown communities. Definitely worth a read.
When I started Oonee I was shocked to see so many pols treat 🔒🚲 as 2nd tier issue. That was not my experience growing up in BK.

The Point Hope Maritime event today was amazing and felt well attended. They even had a bike valet!

My building added some extra bike security. Great deal for two bucks.

The world is feeling extra bleak today. Might be a good day to stay in bed like Brian Wilson did.

A neat place making spot in James Bay with concrete benches, large flower pot, and a round table with chessboard.
An afternoon of cycling leisurely around Dallas Road and James Bay. Lots of cool stops along the way.
Following a transformation of St. Denis St. in 2020, which included reducing vehicle lanes for safer pedestrian crossings & new bike lanes, pedestrian traffic increased by 65% while bike traffic increased by 250%.
Yesterday, St. Denis hit a record 14,676 cyclists.

The Beach Boys were the first band’s music I fell in love with. Loved those harmonies.
