Here's a Pecha Kucha talk (6:40sec) I gave last month for London Cycling Campaign/Osbornes Law on what #London can learn from #Utrecht
In short, a great city for biking starts w a city smart enough to control cars.
Only then can we build bike transportation that works for everyone.

#BandcampFriday is one day where Bandcamp waives its fees to artists. So it's the perfect time to buy music to support musicians.
But in my case, I'm having to fundraise to pay down bills for my mobility aid (underseat steered recumbent e-trike) and physical therapy, and other medical bills that I currently cover out of pocket.
So if you have wanted to help out, but don't like using Paypal (my only way of getting money otherwise), buying my music on Bandcamp with a tip is a great way to do it and buying today when fees to me are waived is an even better way!
Hopefully you like the music, too!

These maps (and checking intersections/etc.) are so useful... (to fix problems, plus... to not die)
KXAN: MAP: Where have Austin's fatal crashes occurred in 2026?

Has anybody here solved the following conundrum?
- wanting a bluetooth/gps tracker to be able to recover a stolen bicycle (or other use case)
- not trusting Google, Apple and other companies to not use/sell/lose data
- using a deGoogled phone and Linux computer (in my case, LineageOS and Fedora)
That is, I would want to be able to recover my bicycle if stolen, while keeping my daily movements as private as possible. Enshittified web search has not helped much..

Hmm, attempt to extend my cycling range by about 300 feet... but over a freeway? 🤔 #BikeTooter

Survived! Photos of the extremely, extremely hazardous pedestrian crossing here (no traffic lights, blind curve where vehicles are traveling 50mph, no street lights at night). Okay on Sunday morning but pedestrians put their life on danger here for sure. I have complained to the city about this location, but it is Caltrans territory. #BikeTooter #infrastructure #pedestrians

NEW EPISODE: "Doug Ford Versus Toronto's Bike Lanes." The Ontario Premier is making good on his threats to rip out Toronto's cycling infrastructure. But people aren't taking it lying down.
Michael Longfield of Cycle Toronto and Bronwyn Roe of Ecojustice Canada join us to discuss.
Available wherever you listen to podcasts.

Connecting Doug Ford dots. 🤔
Eliminate bike lanes so self driving cars can be trained on Toronto's winter roads? Am I crazy for thinking this? ⚠️ Cyclists Beware!
"Waymo is coming to Toronto. But the road to get there will be an often snow-covered one — and experts say that will take time and training data to overcome."

You may say it's a conspiracy theory but Waymo is arriving in Toronto and we have this master plan to dismantle our bike lanes happening at the same time
Waymo has issues with San Francisco bike lanes https://futurism.com/future-society/waymo-bike-lanes-traffic
We start removing our bike lanes in #toronto the same day Waymo puts their first cars in the streets for testing (plan to rollout by 2028)
Yes I am suspicious AF #waymo #ontario #biketooter #onpoli
If you want to have the biggest calves and most fit legs among the Spandex crew, you should chuck that ultra light $20,000 carbon frame road bike and clipless pedals and ride this sucker on your weekend hill climb with your bicycling club 😜 (this is, in fact, a lot more work) #BikeTooter

#breaking: Reporting live from Bloor and Islington where a small crowd of cyclists, passersby, cops, construction workers and reporters are all at a standoff. Will update in thread.

an organizing win: direct action in Toronto prevented bike lanes from starting to be removed last night!!! There's a new challenge hopefully heading to the Supreme Court of Canada to prevent the bike lanes from being removed, but that didn't happen in time to stop the removal trucks from coming in. But lots of people showing up on bikes to stand in the way did!!

With humble beginnings in 2012, the International Cargo Bike Festival (ICBF) has grown into an annual event: the place where the cargo bike world comes together.
👇
So after years of a family vacation in the Outer Banks, where it can be rather bike friendly, we got a bike with a trailer as an option with this rental. With the closest supermarket only 2 flat miles away we did a big shop by bike for the first time after years of getting daily needs only by bike.
But it wasn't great.
