Amendment 1
(Councillor Goller)

That Council amends the 2026 operating budget by $650,000 to restore funding for snow removal services for on-street bike lanes funded by the property tax levy.

Motion fails 6-7. 

Gibson, Richardson, Guthrie, Billings, Chew, Busutill, Hauser vote against.

And just like that, Guelph bike lanes will no longer be plowed.

An entire mode of transport has been made less accessible and more dangerous as cyclists will be forced to ride in the middle of the road with limited daylight.

Yielding right of way to a pedestrian while riding a bike is a much more positive experience because you can see each others' faces.

They smile, you smile, everybody wins.

Contrasted to the nervous glance, wondering whether the invisible driver behind those tinted windows values my existence […]

Hand holding a bike hub axle with freehub on it

Hey @cycling, apparently that freehub should just slide off the Novatec D792 axle, yet somehow it doesn't 😵‍💫
Should I just whack it with a rubber mallet until it comes off? Say, put a 10 mm hex key inside the axle and go for it.
(New axle ordered anyway but due […]

A Dual Mirror System For Better Cycling Safety Rear-view mirrors are important safety tools, but [Mike Kelly] observed that cyclists (himself included) faced hurdles to using them effectively. His solution? A helmet-mounted dual-mirror system he’s calling the Mantis …read more

Ok, #bikestodon … anyone out there have recommendations for an indoor roller trainer? I ride a vintage Cannondale mountain bike outfitted with fairly unknobby tires. Looking for something that will help me keep moving until the weather warms up.

Forever Chemicals: The Rise and Fall of PFAS The "forever chemical" PFAS is used in DWR finishes, on technical fabrics, and bikepacking bags, but that's all about to change.

Good overview of the state of PFAS in outdoor clothing/gear (in this case in the context of cycling, but scales elsewhere).

It's Official: Boring Cities Are Bad for Your Health Oppressive, unstimulating urban architecture isn’t just about eyesores; there’s evidence that it can cause actual harm to its residents. To fix this in 2025, we must start building for joy.

Boring cities are bad for your health! Let me guess, the boring ones are filled with cars.
