Per this excellent article from @urbanismspeakeasy.com, "We don’t hold referendums on airplane safety. The same logic should apply to street design." #BikeTO #BikeSky #ottbike #VeloMTL #BikeHFX #BikeWPG #YYCbike #YEGbike #BikeYVR #VisionZero

Hmm. On the face of it, I’d prefer permanent, protected bike lanes on Wellington. But I thought the purpose of the temporary lanes was to see whether any adjustments were required. #BikeWpg

Biking around in the snow is pretty freaking excellent. I blame @pattybikes.com for the fun I’m having. #bikewpg

Good critique of the proposed Wellington Crescent bike lanes. Although I suppose this is why the lanes are temporary - they can be tested out. #BikeWpg

Maryland (on the left) and Westminster allows cyclists and pedestrians to cross first; Sherbrook does not. Why? #BikeWpg

Cycling couple struck, injured 2 days apart at same Winnipeg intersection | CBC News A Winnipeg couple is raising safety concerns after both were injured while bicycling through the same Winnipeg intersection two days apart.

Sherbrook and Westminster is one of the busiest cycling intersections in Winnipeg. I pass through it everyday and it’s never made sense to me why the next intersection (at Maryland) DOES have a leading signal for cyclists and pedestrians but Sherbrook does not. #BikeWpg

My third starter pack is focused on Canadian cyclists (and urbanists) outside of Ontario. Also welcoming suggestions to help complete that starter pack. #BikeSky #BikeTO #ottbike #VeloMTL #BikeHFX #BikeWPG #YYCbike #YEGbike #BikeYVR #BikeYYJ #cdnpoli #CanadaSky #ElbowsUp bsky.app/starter-pack...

A case study in how the news media rage farms for viewers/likes at the expense of safe streets and municipal government. 🙄

Another successful Bike Jam in the books. A smaller one, maybe only 400 people? #BikeJamWpg #BikeWpg

Some great advice on how to best manage bikelash.
If you are an advocate for safer streets, this is a must read thread!

A question for #BikeTO #ottbike #VeloMTL #BikeHFX #BikeWPG #YYCbike #YEGbike #BikeYVR #BikeSky. Know of any very bike-friendly employers in Canada? I'm thinking initiatives that go beyond good bike parking. Things like incentives for cycling, company bikes, repair stations, etc.

This is a great thread with some great message images!

Yesterday's Cross Country Checkup focused half its show on bikelanes. Typical mix of pro- and anti- callers, but excellent expert input from UWaterloo prof Jeff Casello. www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

Since my first two cyclist starter packs covered Toronto and Ontario, here's one which combines #BikeSky with #CanadaSky! Please let me know if there other Canadian cyclists I should add. #BikeTO #ottbike #VeloMTL #BikeHFX #BikeWPG #YYCbike #YEGbike #BikeYVR #BikeYYJ go.bsky.app/7cSuDSz

Picture of Bannatyne and Albert that shows a cyclist turning from a protected lane into the driving lane.

Brent Bellamy’s tweet from 2019: Very excited about Winnipeg City Council’s proposal to turn the central streets of the Exchange District into shared streets. Watch this one in the Netherlands. Cyclists, pedestrians, drivers all mixing respectfully. Imagine this being the Exchange. Maybe one day.

Whatever happened to the idea of turning some Exchange District streets into “shared streets”? It’s still a great idea. Bannatyne and Albert is the sketchiest intersection to cycle on my commute - see picture posted by Winnipeg Mayor @scottgillingham.bsky.social on X in 2023. #BikeWpg

I’ve got to get better reflective touchscreen gloves, but here’s @lastghostbike.bsky.social cycling with us along the frozen river in Winnipeg. So good to have him here #BikeWpg

The Winnipeg winter river trail is my favourite proof that people are excited for accessible outdoor places that are safe from drivers. So many people walking, skiing, skating and cycling. #BikeWpg

We found a few skating rinks cleared along the river, including an incredible treed curling rink with frozen milk jugs as 🥌 #BikeWpg

I’m glad we have some protected bike lanes in Winnipeg, but why can’t we make them more attractive and environmentally friendly? #BikeWpg

Imagine this Dutch bike lane on Portage Avenue. (2018)

Is there a plan for bike lanes on Portage Ave? (2013)

Portage is an eight-lane highway that runs through the heart of Winnipeg. Eight car/bus lanes, but no bike lanes. (2020)

And yes, I am a broken record re: bike lanes on Portage. Won’t stop! #BikeWpg

We need this on Portage Avenue in Winnipeg. There’s more than enough room. #BikeWpg

The latest "Not Just Bikes" clip discusses how self-driving cars will destroy cities and how cities like Utrecht prove we don't need driverless cars, but rather carless drivers. #BikeTO #ottbike #VeloMTL #BikeHFX #BikeWPG #YYCbike #YEGbike #BikeYVR #BikeYYJ #VisionZero youtu.be/040ejWnFkj0?...

Thanks, Councillor Rollins. And let’s get that protected bike lane on Wellington Crescent! #BikeWpg

This spring. Please. Lets abolish all existing painted bike lanes in our cities. If it convinces you, lets start with the cheapest plastic 2x2x4 moveable/replaceable flower pots. Lets use that paint budget to paint the planters after 🎨! #bikewpg @DoBetterWpg @cityofwinnipeg https://t.co/WRs68DeiSt
