No women, no safety

Women on bikes are the indicator species of a city’s cycling health.

If you don’t see many of us, it’s not about lack of interest — it’s about safety.

An unexpected detour made me mad for a minute but then I realized I could just enjoy more time on my bike.

Day 11 of the #CarFreeChallenge2025

Normal Thursday errands: school run, daycare, commute, extracurriculars, even a haircut.

All by bike.

Swap a few car trips for bike trips and life stops being stressful and starts feeling fun.

Day 10 of the #CarFreeChallenge2025

Biked to a school board forum tonight; one way was 12 km instead of 7 km, because riding the Henday or Ellerslie means zero bike infrastructure. Safety, not distance, is what stops people from choosing active transportation.

Day 8 of the #carfreechallenge2025 - listen for Sir Squawk's statue finding.

I cannot tell you how much more I learn from the kids in the bike in front of me vs them sitting behind me in a car.

Bike time=connection time

Day 3 of #CarFreeChallenge2025 and I checked off my first square; new destination ride.

Can you guess where I am?

Day 2 of #carfreechallenge2025 has car miles travelled leading bike miles traveled. Will the bike miles catch up by the end of the challenge?
