Maybe @bluhrgirl.bsky.social will stop the gloating about being the only bike in the rack. 🀣🀣🀣🀣

yes, and he did pull off to talk to him. The kid was quite shaken....I took the photo because i was worried he was just going to drive away.

Kid said he wasn't hurt, but I told him to make sure to file a complaint and gave him my contact. Victims have to start filing complaints AND suing for injuries - even minor ones. @peddownyyc.bsky.social

pedestrian on sidewalk talks to driver of black vehicle that just ran him over.

pedestrian on sidewalk talks to driver of black vehicle that just ran him over.

I saw this today! really freaked me out. Driver turning right out of parking lot hit this kid and knocked him across the lane of traffic. I gasped as I thought he was going to be hit again. He jumped up and went to yell at the driver. This is when I took the pic to capture plate. #peddown

This story is atrocious, on so many fronts. But its olympics, sports, so we can shrug it off . . .πŸŽπŸ”—

Includes text from the future of sport commission saying report will be out in March 2026, they want safe, equal opportunities that reflect cdn values, then says to follow on X social media.

Includes text from the future of sport commission saying report will be out in March 2026, they want safe, equal opportunities that reflect cdn values, then says to follow on X social media.

Just got an email from Canada's Future of Sport Commission. (I'd shared the lack of access to basic biking skills!)
But this note at the end of their email leaves me little hope it will do anything to prevent abuse/bullying/ sexism in sport. Irony is lost. :(

Things we often tell people not to buy:

β€’ Lighter tires
β€’ More speeds
β€’ An upgrade they won’t feel
β€’ Parts their bike doesn’t actually need

Light. Cheap. Strong. Pick two.

Trusted service means knowing when to say "you don't need that".

Please direct your messaging at the drivers who are responsible for carnage on streets - No one especially kids should be hurt or killed for being distracted or making a mistake. Drivers make mistakes and kill people - so let's focus on those doing the most harm. 5 pedestrians hit this week alone!

Heads up #yycbike - extremely dangerous 12 ave lane closure at 14th St.
No signage eastbound - just a plastic barrier.
Westbound says to use sidewalk and has the immediate sidewalk closed.

Unacceptably bad detour.

recycled water or not, people think car washes use water, so if the carwashes were closed, it would be a tangible sign of the severity of issue, might influence behaviour. #yyccc #yycwater

the line up at the car wash was 10 cars deep. Not sure why or how those are open?
