Andrew Lewis of Paliare Roland roasting the government "experts" in @cycletoronto.bsky.social's bike lane Charter challenge is everything. Ya love to see it.

This is so wild. On the eve of a Charter Challenge to the removal of bike lanes the realities of road violence again arise: "Police search for driver after 4 pedestrians hurt in hit-and-run on TMU campus" www.cp24.com/local/toront...

On the eve of our Charter challenge against the province’s anti-bike lane legislation, join us to stand up for local democracy and a city that prioritizes people, not just cars. Meet at 6:00 pm at the “Scales of Justice” bike rack near 361 University Ave. RSVP now: www.cycleto.ca/rally_for_ju...

Beautiful morning for a ride. Hope you get out and enjoy this rad day! We did Tommy Thompson park in Toronto. Where will you get to?

Regardless of fault, if you've been in a collision with a motorist you're entitled to immediate no-fault Accident Benefits. You can receive up to $65,000 in medical care costs (physio, massage, psychotherapy, PSW, etc.) w/in 7 days of the collision: www.thebikinglawyer.ca/post/2019-06...

Though we never want it to happen; knowing what to do after a crash can make all the difference. Our friends at @thebikinglawyer.bsky.social  has many resources such as their Crash Guide which offers step-by-step advice on what to do if you're involved in a cycling crash. 

Some really fantastic advocacy here folks. Kudos!

Hoping this person on a bike pulls through. Sending love: toronto.citynews.ca/2025/04/10/q...

Yesterday, community reported concerns about a bike lane being removed. Thankfully it was regular old TO construction. That said, despite recent clickbait articles about a "compromise", remain vigilant. 📷 @tomflood.bsky.social If you see something, take pics and send to cycling advocates!

Did you know we write a cycling law article in each issue of @canadiancycling.bsky.social, and that it's not just Ontario specific!? Check out one of the latest articles on doorings! cyclingmagazine.ca/members/how-...

I'm a cyclist but are my favourite folks...

🚨 Stay vigilant my friends! Our bike lanes must be saved for all the people who depend on them to get around safely. #topoli #bikeTO

Keep an eye out 👀

Harbord Street which is usually a bike throughway for me even over Bloor is a pot-holed, construction debris ridden nightmare presently. Have any city staff ridden down that sucker? Have you @diannesaxe.bsky.social? Quite dangerous.

Toronto friends, keep your eyes out for this BS.

Ford promised bike lane removals could happen today onward in TO (Bloor W, Yonge, & Uni). That means we’ve got to be vigilant & have our eyes open. If you see construction crews amassing to remove lanes, post/tag local cycling orgs & advocates. Send pictures. Be safe & don’t interfere.

We sat down w @thegreenlineto.bsky.social to discuss what to do if the unfortunate occurs and you're struck by a motorist on your bike. Know your rights friends! Check out the full article and videos here: thegreenline.to/guide/hit-by...

Just send a little text - easy peasy.

Distracted driving is a major issue. Yesterday an injured cyclist told us the driver who hit them said "I didn't see you", when they were there to be seen. We'd love to see automated enforcement like in Australia that tickets drivers on their phones. 📷 @tomflood.bsky.social

everyone needs to ask their councillor and the mayor if they are ok with the police using their budget—which Torontonians fund and council VOTES ON—to harass and discriminate against bikers.

- At a rally to save bike lanes which would improve road safety Dave Points out a key issue with the mainstream approach which is not attacking the root cause - he calls out police ticketing cyclists. - Police on bikes immediately pull him over and ticket him on his bicycle. rOAd sAfETy

In light of recent anti-cyclist policing, we wanted to share our Cycling & the Police Guide: www.thebikinglawyer.ca/post/cycling... As we have seen in Toronto, police have recently been targeting/ticketing cyclists. Thanks to MDC for the collab.

Last night people bikes rode in the rain for bike lanes. Immediately @torontopolice.bsky.social were antagonistic. A dozen bike cops arrived early & took over the main gathering point. The bike cops attending were the same ones who had arrested the @fridaysforfuture.bsky.social Stantec protestors.
