Four people on a paved road, standing or sitting with bicycles, holding or displaying Pride flags. The person on the left is standing beside a black road bike, wearing a black t-shirt with a rainbow flag design, black shorts, and rainbow-striped socks. The person in the center front is sitting in a three-wheeled adaptive bicycle with a rainbow flag design on the front panel, wearing a black t-shirt and glasses. Behind them, another person stands beside a bicycle, wearing a white t-shirt that says "love is love". On the right, a person stands wearing a red shirt, teal shorts, rainbow-striped socks, and holding a small Pride flag. Two more bicycles are parked in the background on the right. The sun shines brightly on the trees and foliage in the background. In the bottom right corner is a logo for "SPECTRUM Waterloo Region's Rainbow Community Space".

Join a fun-filled evening as we take over the streets of downtown Kitchener with colour, community, and celebration! This casual ride will start at Kitchener Market on Wed, Jun 11th 🕐 7:00pm- 8:30pm.

Hosted by the City of Kitchener and Spectrum and Camino Well-Being.

Black Dutch bike in a backyard, it has full chain case, front rack, panniers, etc

I probably don’t actually need two bikes. Anyone local in KW interested in my old Dutch bike?

It’s a big 61cm Workcycles/Azor omafiets, 8 speed, lots of features, in good shape. Think $800 or so for the whole package as pictured is fair. DM if you want to know more

Please enjoy this bike lane

We need leaders who are ready to stand up and fight back. That’s why I’m running with @onecityvan.bsky.social for City Council. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGcI...

The result is often bare ground conditions.

It was the wind or something

Yes. It's an Azor.

It's almost as if the straws were meant to distract us from the real problem 🥤 🛞 🤔

People should only ride within their comfort level. Personally I got an ebike in part to deal with summer heat, however I appreciate that it's not always accessible or the solution for everyone.

I went to Canadian Tire to get a level and came home with a bowtie for my cat.

"You can't bike for half of the year."

An ASCII art image that says "I survived 18 seconds without a bike lane" with a cyclist crashing into a weed store. The cyclist is saying "please don't write this in my obit". At the bottom it says "THANKS DOUG".

I made a tiny protest game about the terrifying reality of biking in Toronto without bike lanes

Bicycle parking Sheffield stand (the type that looks a bit like a staple in the ground, or a letter C placed sideways) with a crossbar on the lower part

The perfect bike stand.

The Sheffield stand is already great as it provides locking points at front and back.

But its flaw is if it's removed from the ground due you can just slip the locks off the bottom.

This fixes that with a bar.

Now, a thief would have to steal your bike *and* the stand.

You mean a fun ride down right? :)

You have 100s of photos on your phone of cars parked in bike lanes.

This pic seems to support that.

1954. No obvious path. It would make sense to build a road around the hill.

Hi. I see a lot of familiar faces on Bluesky so I'm going to give it another try.
