So nice to see the #GallopingGoose #walkandroll #aaa bridge over the Island Highway finally open. And yes, it's as smooth to ride over as it looks. They really did a nice job.

Silver Lexus with BC plate LC8 60A with two wheels in the bike lane in heavy traffic after dark.  The bike lane also has plenty of plant debris in it.  A timestamp in the corner reads 2025/12/17 18:28:25

#IslandLink bus company using the bike lane as a parking spot. Finlayson is dangerous enough without this. #EntitledDrivers #bikeyyj

A wooden bridge with high railings (the Selkirk Trestle) crosses an inlet of Victoria Harbour. The photo is from the perspective of a person crossing the bridge, and there's a woman on a bicycle in the distance. The sky is brilliant blue.

A photo taken from the perspective of a person on a bicycle crossing the Johnson Street Bridge, from the concrete multi-use-path on the side. There is a warning-yellow sign cautioning "Slippery When Wet". The sky is brilliant blue.

A photo taken from the perspective of a person on a bike on a quiet tree-lined street. The trees form a canopy overhead. You can see the handlebars in the near distance and a woman on a bicycle in the middle distance.

A photo taken from the perspective of a person on a bicycle, riding in a protected active transportation lane. There is a dashed yellow line and green paint in the lane. A sidewalk is visible to the left, and road to the right. A bus is travelling towards the photographer in the vehicle lane. The sky overhead is brilliant blue.

And yes, I remained on-brand as we went on a 30km tour of the #bikeyyj active transportation infrastructure. Our hotel had complementary ebikes! Victoria has definitely established itself as a cycling city.

A handmade, wooden signpost bearing the words Galloping Gosling, carved and painted into the wood. Stumbled upon the sign on a hard-to-find, small side trail, just off of the much larger Galloping Goose regional trail in Metchosin, Vancouver Island.

A forward-looking view of a separated bike lane on a rainy Street. Ahead of a bike symbol on the ground, there is a stop line but no associated stop sign.

Alright, @saanichbc.bsky.social, I'm not impressed. What the hell does this white line represent? Cyclists do NOT need to stop or even yield to any traffic other than pedestrians. And this isn't associated with a pedestrian crossing.

Also my butt hurts a lot from the awful curbs. #yyjbike #bikeyyj

Tagging #BikeYYJ for local cargo bike knowledge here. I know you have a reputable family bike shop (Bishop's) but I don't have any experience with ordering from them and don't know what brands that they sell/can order in for you. Hopefully some locals can help!

Hey #yyjbike #bikeyyj does anyone have any idea what's going on with the supposedly approved and contract-awards Galloping Goose overpass in Colwood?

Live tweet for #yyjbike #bikeyyj #saanich #urbanism meeting on the Quadra-McKenzie project.

I will probably tap out at some point because of how depressing this will get. I also need to go to the bathroom.

This photo sums up the real attitude of #Saanich towards cyclists: cars are for everyday use, people can just drive their car when the bike infrastructure is blocked.

Some of the most brain-rattling riding I've ever done. Nope, not slush. Solid ice. Fell off twice. #bikesky #bikeyyj #yyjbike

#bikeyyj - who is supposed to clear the E&N? Is it the CRD or the municipality, in this case @esquimaltbc.bsky.social ?

#bikeyyj get out to Saanich hall next Tuesday for a meeting to support transport equity on Quadra and McKenzie! Lord knows the NIMBYs will be there, and i doubt I can make it because of a staff meeting.

How Self-Driving Cars will Destroy Cities (and what to do about it)
How Self-Driving Cars will Destroy Cities (and what to do about it) YouTube video by Not Just Bikes

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?...

The qualities of a great bike city aren't what I expected
The qualities of a great bike city aren't what I expected I've often wondered if some cities have inherent qualities that lend themselves to cycling more than other cities. And when one city recently declared itself...

City of Victoria declared itself #cycling capital of Canada... 🤔
What about #Montreal?
