Had a blast at the Halloween Bike Party & Critical Mass ride tonight! All the passerby seem to have thought our music & costumes were fun. It was lovely to see so many people have a touch of joy brought to their evening. Thanks as always to the organizers & ride marshals! #BikeHFX #CriticalMassHFX

Had a lovely time with #CriticalMassHFX tonight! I got the chance to try out an ebike thanks to @justip.bsky.social & really enjoyed cycling across town
with such a welcoming crew of folks (most entertaining part was the tourists delighted by the sight of us during their Harbour Hopper ride)

It was great seeing new and familiar faces out at #CriticalMassHFX this evening!
We'll be doing it again on the last Friday in September. Keep an eye on @criticalmasshfx.bsky.social for deets.
Big thanks to everyone who came out to make this happen!

Probably an important thing to consider with #CriticalMassHFX this evening
#BikeHFX
A large group of people with bikes await the start of a Critical Mass ride at Halfax's city hall. Two people have signs that read "one less car". It is a warm partly cloudy summer evening and there are trees in the background.

While I wait for @benmacleod.bsky.social & other better photographers to share their pics from #CriticalMassHFX last night, here's a short 🧵 from me of some sights & signs including @peislandergirl.bsky.social & @seumasb.bsky.social who joined us from @criticalmassyyc.bsky.social #BikeHFX 1/3

Had another fantastic evening with folks at #CriticalMassHFX
I got to ride a Larry vs Harry eBullitt with my kid and their friend in the bucket. I opened it up on the way home and the kids thought that was awesome (it was)

Thanks to everyone at the Halifax Critical Mass ride tonight for the warm welcome! It was a great turn out and we really enjoyed chatting with so many of you @seumasb.bsky.social @criticalmasshfx.bsky.social #criticalmasshfx
And strong it was! Everyone and their dog showed up to support #SafeStreets for active mobility. Thanks #BikeHfx #CriticalMassHfx @criticalmasshfx.bsky.social
Hoping for a strong turnout tonight for #CriticalMassHFX to send a message that we need safe streets for active mobility. If you scoot, skate, cycle or roll outside of a car please come along and show support #HaliSky #SafeStreetsForEveryone #CriticalMass
"What a beautiful day to be on two wheels" said the scooter user waiting with me at a #HaliSky intersection. So I told him about the #CriticalMassHFX ride because the Mayor & Premier are making things less safe for anyone who moves around outside of a car. Bike lanes are mobility lanes! #SafeStreets
Tell the cyclists in your life!
Tell your friends!
Tell your grandma!
The fine folks at #CriticalMassHFX are back again with a new route for this summer!
The first ride of 2025 will be Friday July 25th starting at the Grand Parade

I hear you, I feel like I have been yelling into the void for decades! It's not like we don't know how to change this. Best we can do is vote for better leaders, take to the streets en masse & find like-minded people, etc, which is why #CriticalMassHFX, #KidicalMassHFX & #BikeHFX is so important

Lots of fun at #CriticalMassHFX Bike Party Pride Ride this evening!
@msvugraduate.bsky.social came out and just happened to bring along two of my favourite coworkers! I had no idea that I work with her sister 🤯

Can't wait for the next #CriticalMassHFX ride if it brings yesterday's #BikeParty energy 🎆
#CriticalMassHFX is back! Here are a few snippets of the ride & the debut of the rythm roller. Big thanks to the organizers & the marshalls. Last Fridays of the month for more #BikeJoy with #BikeHFX #KidicalMassHFX urbanists.video/w/8svkkYTx4P... [description: video of lots of people riding bikes]
#CriticalMassHFX is today!
I'm so excited for this. It's one of my favourite events in the city. It's just so fun to bike around the city streets as a group. If you haven't done it before I'd highly recommend it. It happens the last Friday of the month until October.
