I'm only posting here because I'm hoping someone great who follows me knows someone else great looking to live above me! Our 2bed+1bath unit is up for rent April 1. Reach out if you know someone interested! We'd love to welcome a new upstairs neighbour.

🚲🚲🚲Just had a productive meeting look for the announcement if Kidical Mass Hamilton dates and events coming up for 2025. Look forward to seeing everyone 🚲🚲🚲

And lastly from our newsletter: Cheers to Winter Bike Day! Despite frigid temperatures and heavy snow fall, this year's Winter Bike Day was nothing shy of successful. It was incredible to see over 90 Hamiltonians join in for this annual celebration of winter cycling, no matter the conditions.

Congratulations to our very own Board Member, Mark, for being named Hamilton's Bicycle Mayor! Mark is dedicated to fostering inclusivity, strengthening mutual support, and celebrating diversity as a vital asset.

Our newsletter is out. The Ontario Provincial Election is tomorrow, Thursday, February 27th, and your voice matters! Head to the polls between 9 AM and 9 PM to submit your ballot. Not sure who to vote for? Check out Cable 14 -https://www.youtube.com/@c14hamilton/videos for the candidates' debate.

Careful out there, #HamOnt active transportation folks! Sidewalks, especially curb cuts, are extremely dangerous this morning. Seeing lots of pedestrians making use of bike lanes as, relatively flat spaces, shared with 🚴‍♂️'s civilized levels of kinetic energy. 👏 @mayorandreahorwath.bsky.social

To the Hamilton cyclists and pedestrians - the Strachan path west of John is a skating rink this morning. My wife and I both crashed separately on our bikes, one at John one at Mary. Be safe out there @cyclehamilton.bsky.social @cameronkroetsch.bsky.social @cityofhamilton.bsky.social

TONIGHT, 5-8pm (or later) at Merit Brewing #HamOnt! CELEBRATE 20 YEARS OF THE GREENBELT! www.environmenthamilton.org/greenbelt20

What a morning! ❄️☀️ Winter Bike Day brought sunshine, snow, and a whole lot of community spirit to King William Street. We welcomed four group rides from across the lower city, enjoyed warm drinks and treats from Relay Coffee, and got bike safety checks from New Hope Bike. .

❄️💕TODAYS WINTER BIKE DAY 💕❄️ Join Hamiltonians this morning from 7:30-9:30am on King William Street for some cycling fun in the snow ❄️ 🚲Ride in on one of our group rides (link in bio for routes, meet up location, and times).

Winter Bike Day is on FRIDAY and we hope to see you there! Swipe or read below for some important updates regarding the event: 🏔 The Mountain Ride has been CANCELLED 🔧 Tune ups & safety education will be available from @NewHopeBike

If public work contingencies often get consumed from surprises discovered while digging, maybe we should prioritize vehicles that require less urban digging. 👇 🚲 promote PW efficiency! @marktadeson.bsky.social @mayorandreahorwath.bsky.social @cyclehamilton.bsky.social #HamOnt

EMAIL YOUR COUNCILLOR - yet another last minute addition to today's #HamOnt Council agenda - Councillors Pauls and Spadafora seeking to defund the Climate Change Reserve entirely, not just making some cuts to it. An anti-democratic display of climate change denial.

Winter Bike Day is THIS FRIDAY!! Join us on King William Street between James St N and Hughson St N from 7:30am-9:30am on Friday, February 14th for a celebration of winter cycling in #HamOnt. Coffee provided by @relaycoffee ☕️ ❄️ 🚲 Group Rides: bsky.app/profile/cycl...

Have you heard the news?! Our very own Mark Anderson is the #BicycleMayor of Hamilton!! Mark is dedicated to fostering inclusivity, strengthening mutual support, and celebrating diversity as a vital asset. For Mark, cycling has been a transformative experience that inspired him

#HamOnt This motion was withdrawn at the General Issues Committee meeting. Clr. Francis did say he was bringing it or a similar one to council tomorrow. It might be tight to get a written submission to be included in the agenda but you can still email your Councillor.

🚲Take The Pledge🚲

As council's member on the Persons With Disabilities Committee, hopefully all of #HamOnt's bike lane users can count on @marktadeson.bsky.social's NO vote on Cllr Francis' anti-🚴‍♂️ amendment tomorrow! @cyclehamilton.bsky.social youtu.be/r143TespRlw?...

So there’s an affordability crisis and looming recession. Which is why everyone’s safe mobility must require ownership of a vehicle that costs between $8K - $10K annually. 🤡🤪 Leaves little wonder why #HamOnt can’t retain Mac graduates, @mayorandreahorwath.bsky.social.

This motion as long as a few others listed below were added to the agenda at 5pm, after the cutoff to submit written delegations for tomorrow's #HamOnt GIC meeting.

#HamOnt This motion is both short sighted and fuels directly into the "War On Cars" narrative that the PC Government has been pedaling this year. Safe cycling infrastructure saves lives.

The Greenbelt is turning 20 #HamOnt! Join us for this incredible milestone on February 18th from 5-8pm - drop by for food and to celebrate everything our Greenbelt does for us. RSVP today: www.environmenthamilton.org/greenbelt20

🚴❄️ Winter Bike Day is almost here! ❄️🚴 @newhopebike will be out celebrating with free tire pumps and safety checks! Swing by King William St (between James St N & Hughson St N) next Friday to keep your ride rolling all winter long. ❄️🔧 See you there! 👋 #WBDhamont25

51 yrs ago today, in response to the energy crisis, @thespec1846.bsky.social published the words "the 🚴‍♂️ is the most efficient means of transportation ever invented". This week, in response to the climate crisis, #HamOnt cllrs are discussing 🚴‍♂️ lane removals? 🤦 @cyclehamilton.bsky.social #SpecArchive
