A preview of two Critical Mass poster designs, one black and white with the classic "Critical Mass Logo" (a bike and fist), a colour poster featuring our trusty mascot Horse Guy.
Have you ever wanted to spread the good word of Critical Mass irl but chatting up strangers ain't your jam? No worries! Our posters now have the updated meet up location and are free for you to print out and post wherever you'd like #yycbike

Spring Shake Out Ride Tonight!
With the snowpocalype smashing #yycbike yesterday we'll decide at ride time what everyone is feeling re: ride distance and route, as many areas of the pathway network might be in rough shape.
Dress warm. See you later!

A bicycle viewed from behind in an inner city bike lane. The weather is snowy and unpleasant.
Still beats driving.
I learned a lot in the research for this and I'm proud of the episode we put together. Reactionary cultural framing of childhood and family life can make it hard to talk about trans issues productively w/o unpacking a lot of that first. We try to do that here.
Hey #yycbike 👀
LET’S GOOOO
aw they should bring back street cars 🚋
A bit of history from the former councillor for the area. The Sunnyside residents lobbied FOR DECADES to slow traffic on 2nd Ave as the road was extra wide because of the long retired streetcar and drivers would speed through the school zone. March confidently past the naysayers, Sunnyside!
Drake meme. Top: Avid cyclist. Bottom: Bike sicko.
Also, "Avid Cyclists", have you ever considered that just because you apparently don't need bike lanes that maybe other people (like children) would like them?

Happy Critical Mass Friday to those who celebrate 🐴 #yycbike
Had an amazing experience at @youthenroute.bsky.social community Hub.
Fixed a bike tire and learner some pro tips. 👨🔧🙏
Talked to amazing humans
And traded a kids bike with no currency , banks or an “app”, the same way humans traded for most of their existence
This is a bright spot in the city
Fuck the IOC
Achievement Unlocked.
13kms of fresh tracks #yycbike commute to work.
Honestly, was super fun and remarkably chill knowing there was no hidden ice to worry about.
Snow was so deep my feet were dipping into it on every stroke.

Cycling side-by-side isn’t bad behaviour—it’s human behaviour. It’s how parents talk to their kids. How friends catch up. How communities form.
If bicycle infrastructure is too narrow for people to ride and talk together, the problem isn’t the people. It’s the infrastructure.
