King & Bay Henge.

And the freaking greatest thing I have ever seen: this intersection has a traffic signal that is set by DEFAULT for pedestrians and cyclists, cars have to activate to cross. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

There it is. Elon Musk admits it. “That loophole was closed last week.” In a deranged post on X, Musk openly acknowledges that SpaceX recently restricted Ukraine’s ability to use Starlink.

Ooh! And mark your calendars. Toronto Henge is on Sunday at 6:18pm

Go to your camera and search ‘boat’ and post one that you like. #CL14 #dinghy #autumncolours

“cars (SUVs and trucks) are the leading cause of traffic congestion worldwide, dwarfing other forms of transportation such as skateboards, scooters, bicycles, wheelchairs, army tanks and shoes.”

44,000 Americans die from vehicular violence every single year.

This is who we share the roads with. So please stop the “cyclists are so dramatic” bullshit.

Introducing Toronto's first (?) election night live result projection! Over the course of election night, the CN Tower will move along the bike wheel tracking who is more likely to be elected mayor as the votes come in! I've included a sneak preview of the page from my testing.

“When citizens believe effort, even civil discourse, is pointless or dangerous, they disengage, allowing organized extremist movements to capture institutions without broad public resistance.” This is me wrt @cityptbo.bsky.social

Indeed

Nice campaign by the Norwegian Consumer Council about the declining lifespan of products. Enjoy!

You take the lanes, we take the road.

She was hit by a driver.

#Ptbo too

Starting to understand how Trump ran an Atlantic City Casino into the ground. Pulling shit like threatening to rename a Great Lake just to be annoying is not something you do when you've got cards left to play

Oooh tasty! I moved to a noisier part of town last year. Cities aren’t noisy, vehicles are. #Ptbo

All the time here in #Ptbo…

As the Trump & Carney Govts finger point about the cataclysmic ending of trade discussions, it’s a moment where credibility and past track records come in handy. Based on those, we can have confidence that Canada will be generally telling the truth, and everything the Trump Govt says will be a lie.

A calm Sunday morning above the cooling tree canopy on my balcony in the center of Paris. Cities are pin drop quiet when there is no car or motorcycle traffic. Cities aren't noisy - motor vehicles are. #Paris #15minutecity #urbanism #climate #tree #noise #thewaroncars #environment

Got a good job down at the Data Center. I work on the line, and it's hard work but it's honest and the wage is fair; my family and I are grateful for it. I rivet the word "absolutely" onto the little apologies that chatbots do when they misunderstand a prompt.

Riding bikes is 10X more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities. And that’s just the climate emissions. Doesn’t include the massive public & personal cost difference, the air & noise pollution difference, the massive space difference, etc, etc…Via @theconversation.bsky.social

Open the #gordiehowe bridge at midnight July2/3 right between Canada Day and Independence Day.

@maddow.bsky.social Re: Gordie Howe Bridge. 8 minutes video. Canada paid for this bridge. Used 50% USA workers and materials. DJT is stopping it from opening because he's friends w/ the owner of the Ambassador Bridge. Why we can't have nice things. #elbowsup #gordiehowe youtu.be/iLdvv7iJjEU?...

Our latest investigation: How giant trucks and SUVs are far deadlier for pedestrians. “Before the driver knows what’s happened, the pedestrian’s head is under the wheel.” www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Got my copy. Missed the book launch last week but popped into Take Cover Books this morning…

This was actually available 10 days ago but is only getting emailed out now. Working group folks only heard through the grapevine. It will be reviewed at committee in 6 days and then council the week after. There is no clarity and new limits regarding commenting in public. #process

Layouts like this in Ontario, Canada please! Update the building codes.

This is a good graphic, easy to see and understand. For everyone.

Driving society is saying:

It seems like every week Google Maps gets worse.

Nearly one in ten drivers stopped charged during Canada Road Safety Week enforcement. But Cyclists/Pedestrians‼️

Fun fact: Both @kenjennings.bsky.social and @thewaroncars.bsky.social published books in 2025. “Kennections” and “Life After Cars” respectively. Transit nerds together. Thanks to War on Cars for pointing me to Ken Jennings - based on a quick post scan he will improve my feed. Y’all should talk!

Great to see this noise problem being discussed. Can they do dark tinted windows with a cameras too? I sometimes wait for cars to leave if I, the pedestrian/cyclist, can’t make eye contact for my own safety. Noise pollution and black windows both endanger others!

It turns out that fining people for speeding makes them less likely to speed.

Toronto Police never did catch the repeat criminal who kept showing up in the same spot, over and over, leading to Doug Ford bowing (leaning in) to vigilantism. What a city. What a province.
