An image of two women, past Victoria Mayor, Lisa Helps, on the left and current Velo Canada Bikes chair, Kate Walker on the right. Taken as Mayor Helps was celebrated as the National Cycling Advocate of the Year for 2019. There is a Canada flag and a presentation screen in the background.
Great video, would have loved to see some acknowledgment of the leadership of Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps (2014-2022) - would give some gender balance too. She received @velocanadabikes.bsky.social National Cycling Advocate of the Year in 2019: velocanadabikes.org/wp-content/u... #BikeFriendlyCanada.

Well said J. The province refuses to build safe protected cycling infra & dresses up this route while really just doing road paving, as you note, with zero safety improvements. Disappointing #BikeFriendlyCanada

As we wrap up @velocanadabikes.bsky.social #PedalPollSondoVelo counts for 2025, our analysis of 4 years of count data tells us what anyone cycling already knows - when it comes to bike infrastructure, if you build it they will come but it needs to be comfortable & connected #BikeFriendlyCanada

POV of a cyclist rising along a street past a coffee shop. Just to the side and obscured by an orange fire hydrant, a person is sitting counting people cycling past as part of the Pedal Poll/Sondo Velo national bike count that takes place in the first week of June across Canada. The sun is shining and there are trees and buildings in the background. Another cyclist is overtaking to the left.
Is this a counter I see before me? #PedalPollSondoVelo is taking place on #cycling routes across Canada & I spotted an early bird on my commute to work today. I'll be counting here too later this morning. Learn more: velocanadabikes.org/pedalpoll/ #BikeFriendlyCanada @velocanadabikes.bsky.social

Was it the @ecologyaction.bsky.social Easyride pilot? If so, we evaluated it & no prizes for guessing that lack of infrastructure was the main barrier. This was not specific to bike parking but it's part of the equation to shift cycling culture. #BikeFriendlyCanada ecologyaction.ca/sites/defaul...

The front cover of a new report on "Designing Comfortable and Safe Cycling Infrastructure: A Visual Guide to applying the Canadian Bikeway Comfort and Safety Classification System (Can-BICS)". The background colour is cream and there is a black and white photo of a multi-use path with people cycling. walking & skating.
What does comfortable & safe cycling infrastructure look like in Canada? @meghanwinters.bsky.social & team have you covered with this useful visual guide: summit.sfu.ca/_flysystem/f... @velocanadabikes.bsky.social @capacite.bsky.social #BikeFriendlyCanada

Thought I'd better crack on with a pinned intro. I'm an applied health researcher, using primarily qualitative methods & focus on how policies & environments shape health behaviours like healthy eating & active living. I ❤️ bikes & volunteer with Velo Canada Bikes to promote a #BikeFriendlyCanada 🚲

There is a city that pretty much said that, did it and did it well. We compared the two cities here ICYMI (and there are many others that show more guts than #ZeroVisionHFX) activetravelstudies.org/article/id/1... #BikeHFX #BikeFriendlyCanada

A drawing of a green bicycle with a basket on the front. The basket contains yellow flowers and there are yellow flowers and a small pond around and beneath the bicycle. The words "If it's not far, leave the car" are written above and below the image.
Happy #WorldBicycleDay to all who celebrate! Riding a bike gives me a mental and physical workout, a connection with my surroundings and a means of transportation all in one go. We all need more #BikeJoy in our lives. Share yours. #BikeHFX #BikeFriendlyCanada

Only if there was a magical 0 emission vehicle that can be powered by pizza, makes us healthier, isn’t harmful on people’s lungs, no sound that spurs patios, popular w/ kids, women, adults and seniors, and a history of killing ~0 ppl. #BikeFriendlyCanada

Likewise Ms. Murray! I'm grateful for being able to have an open conversation to see how we can all move the benefits of biking in our communities further along. Great insights came from this conversation. Want to go for a bike ride? #RideYourRiding #BikeFriendlyCanada https://t.co/Gv7JjoOxiA

Well when your community is built around an unsafe mode of transportation, you'll feel like it's the only way and it soon becomes a normal thing that accidents just happen EVERY snowfall. 👈 #makesnosensetome. Lets create a safe transportation system NOW. #BikeFriendlyCanada https://t.co/yMiZstkYn7

My knee hurts after walking in the snow. Now @IBikeOulu in Oulu, Finland 170km from the Arctic Circle. The weather is not a barrier, the lack of $$ for protected infrastructure is. Caring & taking action is a good start. #wcc2018 #BikeFriendlyCanada ✍️ 👉https://t.co/KubWFfTbi0

Seems like we ask for much to be safe. The space is there. Move the car over 1m, create a barrier. Done overnight. #BikeFriendlyCanada
