I still get excited when I see them, but it goes beyond that… it makes me happy and optimistic to see the normalization of cargo bikes as a mode of transportation […]

I had a dentist appointment in the city this morning, but I’m not quite up to biking 46km round-trip yet, so a bus trip it is. I brought the bike vibes though. #yyjbike

B.C.'s high gas prices could be leading more people to use bikes, groups say | CBC News As the price of gas in B.C. remains among the highest in the country, some cycling groups in Vancouver say it could be driving more people toward active transportation.

History repeats itself. High gas prices = more people on bikes. #yyjbike #bikeyvr #bikesky

New walking and cycling trail completed on North Pender The Schooner Way Trail, which connects Danny Martin Ballpark to Pender Island School, is the first phase of a trail expected to eventually extend to Otter Bay ferry terminal.

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

"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!
