Not a great environmental message: the two tour buses idling in the Blanchard St bike lane outside Royal Theatre today. #yyjbike
Pender Islands becoming a better place to bicycle, one piece at a time. Looking forward to being able to bicycle from ferry terminal to South Pender on a dedicated trail. #fingerscrossed #yyjbike
The sun came out and I put 35km on my cargo bike today doing all my grandmotherly duties. It was glorious, thanks to good bike infrastructure #yyjbike
Mobility Scooter just rolled by on 'Kings - Willows' bike and roll route in Quadra Village. So nice to see. #yyj #yyjbike
Joke's on momentum readers, we're already at the tail end of cherry blossom season here in #yyjbike. Our tree is fully green now.

A road winds it's way along the shore of Saturna Island, without even so much as trees separating it from the water.

"ebikes replace car trips" But what if I wouldn't have done this by car in the first place? Today I went to Saturna Island, a place I've only sailed to. With an ebike I went all the way to East Point and summit Warburton Pike - 402m (1300ft)! I wouldn't ever drive this as a day trip

Every now and then I am reminded how blessed I am to live in a city that isn't completely incompetent in how they build protected bike lanes.
I love you @victoria.ca. #yyjbike

I am so impressed that @victoria.ca is improving our #yyjbike infrastructure without endless public consultation. Another street bikes will be able to use! This along with the Cook Street Project - simultaneous, no less - will add a huge amount of protected bike infrastructure and make roads safer!
From taking cars off the road to creating safer streets, 7 ways bike lanes make life better for drivers too. #yyjbike #bikesky
I'm always happy when people push back against the misleading anti-bike nonsense from ”very serious people" that regularly appears in the local papers. This is an excellent example in @victorianews.bsky.social.

Victorian’s are pretty fortunate to live in a city that continues to demonstrate a willingness to prioritize humans by creating safer routes that will make it easier to leave the car at home. #yyjbike #yyj
Recommendation That Council direct staff to: 1) Prioritize expansion of the All Ages and Abilities (AAA) bike and roll mobility network on Pandora street, east of Cook, to connect with both Oak Bay Junction and the Shelbourne protected route via Begbie by the end of 2026. 2) Provide a verbal update to council on the current plans for the expansion of the cycling network in 2026 and what the implications to the 2026 financial plan would be, if any, to complete the Pandora East Begbie/Shelbourne project by the end of 2026.
Councillor Thompson's and Dell's "Pandora East" motion just passed unanimously. Notably, this DOES NOT commit the city to build anything, but asks staff to prioritize this project, and to report back on funding implications.

Happy this routes getting upgrades, but thought pedestrian/bicyclist engaged traffic lights to cross Foul Bay on Haultain would be more appropriate then flashing lights that, if like others, will warn you to watch out for cars that don’t stop. #yyjbike

Commuting around #yyjbike isn't too bad. Literally commuted around YYJ this afternoon kill time before a meeting.
I replied to a post by the local group of NIMBYs who spend all their time opposing bike lanes saying how much I love the redesign of a nearby street. How long before I get hate responses? #yyjbike
New protected bike lanes and cherry blossoms on Tolmie Avenue.
Tolmie is looking a lot better these days, for various reasons. #yyjbike #yyj #victoriabc
Phase 1 of making Esquimalt more people friendly has definitely made it a better place to bicycle. Time for phase 2 engagement, where the most contentious issue will be car storage. #yyjbike
For some reason bicycling on Bay Street just east of Point Ellice Bridge during rush hour is much more pleasant. #lol #yyjbike
“A new pathway to walk, roll and cycle along Mount Newton Cross Road is one step closer to becoming a reality. On Monday, February 23, Council voted to move forward with detailed design for a multi-use pathway between Highway 17 and East Saanich Road.”

2/3 some people who don't ride in downtown #VictoriaBC much are not aware of how *slow* many people on bikes are when the weather is good. Speeds below 15 km/hr are common for children and adults on acoustic bikes. At busy times the flow on downtown bike lanes is commonly around 20 km/hr. #yyjbike
Well the number of cars I passed on my commute suggests that people have noticed the bridge is (partially) closed.
I did my part to demonstrate that they would be happier on a bike.

#yyjbike dress well today! Snow is already on the ground on the Westshore.
