People gather in Council Chambers in their bike helmets to draw attention to how our safety and that of all residents, particularly seniors and kids, is threatened by the staff report under consideration today. #bikehfx

I understand there will be a silent protest by cyclists who plan on showing up to City Hall wearing bike helmets. Here's the full agenda: pub-halifax.escribemeetings.com/Meeting.aspx...

A report going to @hfxgov.bsky.social Council tomorrow is deeply concerning. Read our latest article outlining why: Six Critical Questions Council must ask before downgrading Halifax's AAA Bicycle Network visionzerohfx.ghost.io/six-critical...

HCC has issued a call to action: write your councillor and/or show up at council meeting with your bike helmet on, in silent protest. Details here: mailchi.mp/cyclehalifax...

Many of us are planning to come to the Council meeting and sit in silent protest with our bike helmets on.

Here is a summary table from our letter documenting the degradations of the alternative bike facilities being proposed.

HCC has sent a letter to Council raising strenuous objections to the staff report calling for cost-saving alternatives to 7 bike facility projects while in most cases degrading safety and directness. Read it here: cyclehalifax.ca/advocacy/let... #bikehfx

Nice policy statement by the Association of Pedestrian and Bicycle Professionals (APBP) about e-bikes and e-motos www.apbp.org/assets/Polic... E-bikes are Bikes Some micromobility devices should be regulated as e-bikes E-motos are NOT E-bikes Address confusion re: E-motos at or before point of sale

THERE IS VIDEO. IT IS NUTS. The way Everwind treated those two reporters is the way they’ll treat our whole province.

I’m heartbroken. My son and daughter in law’s Yuba Spicy Curry cargo bike was stolen last night from the backyard locked shed. It was used every day to carry my grandson to daycare. It is without battery! Please repost for wide awareness. #bikehfx Yes, police report is being filed.

TSC meeting cancelled so we will present at Nov 26 meeting. So, more time to answer the survey if you haven’t done so yet.

This is brilliant! 329 by my “rules” for comfort (I would do more but I’m retired so I don’t have to)

Don’t forget — take in Nocturne on Saturday while safely storing your bike at HCC’s free bike valet (like a coat check for your bike)

HCC is collecting info in a survey about the MacDonald Bridge bikeway. This is to bolster our arguments to the Transportation Standing Committee on Oct 22. Whether you use the bridge bikeway or not, we’d like to hear from you, #bikehfx. Please share widely. forms.gle/QbDTTYuWEirt...

With South Park missing data from one side of the street, I think it’s a pretty safe bet the actual total would be over 90,000, blowing all previous years out of the water.

When I rode to the hospital today, I forgot my bike lock. Fortunately no thief noticed that the abandoned lock on the bike rack was not attached to the bike 😊. #bikehfx

I was biking across SGR and some scooter guy came off the sidewalk and cutting into my way Him: "oh sorry, go ahead" Me: "no worries, you go on I'm slow today" Him: "ok thanks" Next red light Him: "we're turning left, you go ahead" Me: "thanks" Now let's explore that interaction in cars... 1/2

New media release calls on the Chief Medical Examiner of Nova Scotia to investigate and recommend steps to address the growing danger to pedestrians, cyclists, and other vulnerable road users from pick-up trucks and large SUVs. #VisionZero #RoadSafety

CRASH joins @visionzerokh.bsky.social @ecologyaction.bsky.social @cyclehalifax.ca in calling for the Chief Medical Examiner of Nova Scotia to investigate the lethal danger posed by pick-ups and large SUVs to vulnerable road users.

In lieu of a Critical Mass ride, please join a memorial ride to remember Dr. Nouman Ali. Community members have planned a ride for August 9, at 1:00, in his honour. Our deepest condolences to his family, friends, and all who knew him.

No excuse for this heartless devastation for someone already struggling. Worth reading the article.

Demonstrating (with video) the dangers of dooring, also the Dutch Reach Thanks @sflkirk.bsky.social and @davidwtrueman.bsky.social globalnews.ca/video/119748...

In memoriam: Dr. Nouman Ali, a member of Halifax's cycling community, was killed last week when a driver opened their door into his path on Strawberry Hill Street. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and everyone who is mourning his loss. 🕯️

I admit I was a bit nervous for my first time riding my grandson for drop off at daycare. But it was smooth sailing. He loves it — he’s sixteen months old. Fortunately Brunswick St. Bike lane was open. The far end on the south side of Sprig Garden was blocked a little with landscaping. #bikehfx

Did you know you can get from the Woodside Ferry terminal to the Salt Marsh Trail with very little exposure to traffic? Cycling Guide showed me the way and then helped me navigate the circuitous route. On the return trip we used the Shearwater Flyer trail and sidewalks along (un)Pleasant St #bikehfx

We would love to see you! Either in person or online.
