When I retire I want all of y'all to write it up just like this.

Public Housing for Shannon Park

Can we just live on a slightly less stupid timeline?

Someone on Facebook complained that the effort we spent holding a funeral for a raccoon-shaped traffic cone would have been put to better use picking up litter. We can do that too – meet at the diverter this Saturday. #BikeHfx

They're just going to change a line to say "he looked like Victor Von Doom with a Mungo Jerry hippie beard"

And by “save” we mean “keep paying, except the money has to come from all of us, including folk who try not to use gasoline”

Everything you need to know about the ‘spaceport’ in Nova Scotia

I used a bike rack this weekend that exists because I complained about it not existing.

You can make things better, even just a little.

I can't help with your routing idea (yet) but figured it's a good idea to add bike counter data to my little map. They are the little (clickable) blue dots :) Thanks for the inspiration! justbartek.ca/hfxbikeparki...

Scritchy will be with me on my errands this morning

Yeah, I think I'll do a few route suggestions through the week

I think you're good, it looks like it's just before the break in the fence.
You can kind of see the counters in the pavement where there are glossy diamond shapes cut

Scritchy Raccone and the Pylon Wars I live in a weird place. Happily, it’s often a good type of weird. Sadly, it’s also a place where, in general, motorists aren’t very concerned with things like “obeying laws” or “not hitting people”.

Good summary of a very Halifax story and what happens when we try to make streets just a tad bit safer here.

Bothered by bright headlights? Your time to tell Transport Canada is running out | CBC News Transport Canada's survey on headline brightness is open to drivers, pedestrians and cyclists, and includes questions about travelling at night, driver behaviour and possible changes.

A good reminder to go tell the Canadian government to do something about those bright headlights blinding people who drive at night.

Counter points Hit every bike counter in one day Sunday April 26 Halifax NS Every bike everywhere all at once

Hey #BikeHFX as part of @cyclehalifax.ca's Roll into Spring campaign I'm hosting an event where I'm encouraging as many cyclists to roll over as many bike counters as you can in one day

I think a bit of front fork suspension is okay but rear suspension adds a lot of weight and eats a lot of energy

Adults and kids with and without bike helmets milling about in the sunshine in front of Halifax’s Oval building.

A couple of people fixing bikes in the sunshine next to Halifax’s Oval. A sign attached to the front of a cargo bike says “free bike tune ups”.

Many people on bikes and scooters on Halifax’s Oval with more people socializing in the background.

I think we had about 200 folks show up for the #KidicalMassHfx Spring Social! So lovely to see everyone come out of hibernation.
Thanks to Halifax Cycles for bringing bikes to test ride, @ecologyaction.bsky.social for tune ups, and to everyone who came out. What a great start to the season!

How many zombies does it take to make a horde?

It was great

That was you with the mask?!?

Justice for Scritchy!

That's great

Why are dozens of people standing in the middle of the street looking at a woman on a planter?

The answer may surprise you!

The neighbours were standing at their doors watching this wonderful foolishness

Hey #bikehfx crew, I'm getting my kids their first bikes; where would you recommend that will deliver? I do not currently have a vehicle that can carry a bicycle of really any variety.

Plus that whole "first bike" thing, I know the size of wheel they would have but not much else. 😅

What size wheels?
