The #bikelash is real.
When provincial MLAs even *hint* they'll legislate against bike lanes, municipal administration staff backpedal on planning, design, & budgeting, regardless of elected council's directions. "What's the point" they ask, "if the province is just going to pull it out?" #yegbike
Listening (again) to @sgoodyear.bsky.social's interviews with presenters at Vélo City 2025. The theme of #solidarity is so resonant in Alberta, as we confront #bikelash- right now, the prov govt is drafting legislation to hobble municipalities' bike infrastructure.

These are great recommendations for countering #bikelash: bsky.app/profile/moda...
There are ways to deflate the far right's attempts to sow division. Being deliberately inclusive works, but you have to work at it. ecoplanning.ca/want-better-... #bikelash
Sweet vindication after the nasty culture war #bikelash election 3 yrs ago. Turns out communities do want safe streets & cyclelanes.
Not the complete result we wanted but very happy to have been part of a campaign built on positive progressive policies with a great group of candidates

Those who understand #bikelash will find his fear very familiar.
Appreciate the recommendations from @modacitylife.com to tackle #bikelash though equitable, accessible & wanting connections with people regardless if they ride a bike. More bikes & more people that see this as viable option for travel, can create better cities for all.
❤️ @bikehfxlobby.bsky.social
Recognizing and confronting #Bikelash lessons identified and recommendations well stated and applicable to so many other arenas:
- clean energy deployment
- #YIMBY, not NIMBY
- climate science/ climate crisis, vaccines, etc
Much worth the read, consideration, and share.

Celui qui vient de derrière fonce sans aucune visibilité des passages piétons 🛵💨
Celui qui vient de la droite a pris un double sens scooterable ⛔️
Mais bon, ce sont les vélos qui font n’importe quoi

Fantastic to be on @am800cklw.bsky.social this morn with @danmac800.bsky.social. We chatted bike infrastructure in Windsor, the #bikelash & #PedalPollSondoVelo.
Lots of counting shifts for Canada's national bicycle count are available in Windsor & elsewhere: velocanadabikes.org/pedalpoll/

Bike lanes improve safety for EVERYONE and give new bikers safe routes. Traffic congestion existed long before bike lanes but #Bikelash is coming for Boston bike lanes and even @wutrain.bsky.social is catching nerves
But we NEED to build the #BostonBikeNetwork

Ein anstrengender Tag geht für uns zu Ende, mit einem guten Gefühl: Die neuen Radwege sind eröffnet! Danke an alle die vorbeigeschaut haben und weiterhin gute Fahrt! #radfahren #radlobby #linz #nibelungenbrücke #bikelash #radinfrastruktur #radwege #verkehrswende
I'm so tired of the nonsense #bikelash I can't even be bothered to send a response to this bill 212 Removing bikelanes & killing people on the alter of traffic flow 😑🤬
🚲🪧🤬😫You have probably seen #bike lane proposals meet with a hostile reception. The popular term for such reactions is #bikelash.

3) @cambbikesafety is a local group that formed to help encourage Cambridge to implement its bike plan without delay. They’ve embraced a decentralized organizing strategy that revolves around Slack & have been incredibly effective battling #bikelash.
The Mass Ave #BikeLash has started.
Some Back Bay residents value parking more than human life.

"The surreal aspect of #bikelash is having to defend changes that will make streets safer rather than defending them in their current state"
Good smack-down response from PW Director on Alameda's Shoreline cycletrack haters alamedasun.com/news/city-does-employ-en... #bikelash @bikewalkalameda
Reckless bike riding must be stopped, but the idea that bikes threaten pedestrians > car-centric street design defies arithmetic. #bikelash
I think all this week’s attn on climate change is causing more #bikelash than usual. Bike(r)s are easy target for ppl’s guilt/frustration.
Oh my! @naparstek outlines the horrors of creating better streets #bikelash @sfbike
