All are welcome to join & network at the @RiverTrailCycle Community Bicycle Days, last Sunday of every month. (weather permitting) 🚲
If you’ve ridden your bike on Eglinton in the past year, you probably noticed these weird bike lanes to nowhere. So what’s going on with those? 1/
@BikewaysTO @BikeShareTO @ttcriders Not just Kipling to Jane either. All temporary closures should prompt Bikeshare to provide more bikes. Like line 1, which will be partially closed all day Saturday - some extra ebikes at Davisville would be fabulous.
A good visual reminder that subways: -Move *far* more people every day than private vehicles. -Are far more scalable, efficient, and cleaner than personal vehicles. Drivers often think they represent more % of travel than they do. Underground subway = "out of sight, out of mind"

No trains are running between Kipling + Jane stations due to a track-level fence fire that started around 3:30 p.m. yesterday. The fire spread, severely damaging a signaling box and communication cables critical to subway operations. TTC crews are repairing the infrastructure.

There's also value in integrating Toronto Bike Share into TTC & having a process to allow people to use Bike Share at no additional cost during TTC emergencies/subway closures. That process could be much easier if Bike Share were integrated into PRESTO. x.com/bikewaysto/sta…

@BikeShareTO Thank you for loading up the rack at Jane station with electrics while the @TTCnotices is down for an extended period. I was zooming by traffic this morning!
Rideshare drivers and food couriers are ramping up for a May 1st protest in DT Toronto... coalition from multiple countries are participating for fair pay and treatment.
Bloor subway closure from Kipling to Jane today is a perfect opportunity to better integrate bike share with TTC. A few hundred bikes at either end of short stretch would help ease rd congestion + make the commute more pleasant for all @BikeShareTO @ttcriders #biketo
Even on a day when subway is closed, EMS manages to get through. Many motorists insist, however, on driving alone instead of taking TTC, cycling, carpooling, taking an alternate route, or deferring a trip. It’s apparently easier to blame the bike lane. #biketo
Today, since the subway is closed, we see the absurdity of allowing single-occupant cars block buses crammed with 60 people
Before the Bata Shoe Museum, this house stood on the southwest corner of Bloor Street West and St. George Street. This photo was taken #OnThisDay in 1924 ow.ly/tWOa50Rir5R #OTD #TOHistory #TorontoArchives
We just delivered a “fund evasion” ticket to Finance Minister @cafreeland It's time for MPs to stop evading their responsibility to fund the #TTC. Riders are asking federal MPs to chip in for new subway trains & speed up the Permanent Public Transit Fund. ttcriders.ca/fundevasion
The eglintonTOday Phase 1 Complete Street project will be considered by the IEC on May 2. The report includes recommendations for complete street features on Eglinton Ave from Bicknell Ave to Mt Pleasant Rd, and bikeways on adjacent side streets. secure.toronto.ca/council/agenda… (1/2)

Check out the 2023 @TO_Cycling_Ped report. Great stats to review such as "More people cycle on streets where there is designated space for cycling: 61% of people cycling were travelling within bikeways, compared to 39% who were cycling on streets without bikeways present."#biketo

No trains are running between Kipling + Jane stations due to a track-level fence fire that started around 3:30 p.m. yesterday. The fire spread, severely damaging a signaling box and communication cables critical to subway operations. TTC crews are repairing the infrastructure.
@BikewaysTO That small percentage clinging to cars expect 80% of the road.

Bikeshare proves the importance of network redundancy. This is a map of trips taken from bike share stations. That large dot is showing number of rides near Jane station (terminus of fire shutdown). Also, why the Bloor West bike lanes are valuable!
Bloor subway closure from Kipling to Jane today is a perfect opportunity to better integrate bike share with TTC. A few hundred bikes at either end of short stretch would help ease rd congestion + make the commute more pleasant for all @BikeShareTO @ttcriders #biketo

@FFSafeStreets @BikewaysTO @Walk_TO @CycleToronto @Cycle_WR @mcleishorlando @EnvHamilton @LdnCycleLink @ttcriders Registered. Thanks for taking up this issue. These road tanks should require special training and be fitted with safety features as vulnerable users are likely to be hit with them. Please also take up the issue of dark tinted glasses which are becoming common in such SUVs.
There’s a big hole under this street we deliberately carved to allow access to large hollow metallic serpents that carry hundreds of people back and forth.
Bloor Street is supposedly one of Canada’s biggest urban thoroughfares — yet it’s become a one lane, one direction street that comes to a halt when a single vehicle waits to turn right. All thanks to poor planning, little coordination and excessive bike lanes.
The 2023 Cycling Year in Review report has been released! It includes bikeway installations and upgrades, bicycle parking statistics, results of the 2022 cordon count study, and highlights of some of our major upgrade projects in 2023. toronto.ca/wp-content/upl… #BikeTO
@BikewaysTO @FFSafeStreets @thismomroars @stephenholyday @TO_Cycling_Ped @Walk_TO Really poor pedestrian safety here, like much of Etobicoke
Our safety regulators are asleep at the switch on the ongoing ever-escalating arms race of increasing vehicle size that is causing more #RoadViolence, shattering families, and ruining lives.
Share? Unfair advantage! #TTMoves
