Don’t miss I Light HFX. The weather is looking warm (by recent standards) but a little damp. But we won’t let that dampen our spirits, we’re Haligonians!

#BikeHFX I'm still looking for a few more marshals for Saturday's ride. If you can help out, please send me a message! @cyclehalifax.ca @criticalmasshfx.bsky.social

A little late getting this up, but I had a great Halloween this year. I put together a costume for the first time since childhood. @criticalmasshfx.bsky.social was an amazing time, and I can't wait for the next one.

Fog! Lights! And more decibels than you can shake two (2) sticks at!
Thank you Sean for sharing your strava! about 9.6km to the Staples parking lot, 10.5km including riding from Staples to the Commons as well:

That looks like about 9.6km up to the Staples parking lot, and then 10.5km for those who returned to the Commons afterwards!

Hey. Hi. Hello.
In this Halloween Special , I continue HFX By Bike's annual tradition of trying to genuinely scare you using nothing but spreadsheets and graphs.
This year it's all about the city's taxes and why it feels like Halifax can never get ahead.

Hey Halifax, if your bike has been stolen in the past year, check out to see if it was stolen by a cop!

This night was such a blast. My friend Lael dressed up as a dragon to match my knight. And she indulged me in taking some absolutely badass pics! ##Halifax #criticalmass #cycling #HfxBike

We had fun tonight at the #CriticalMassHFX x #HalifaxBikeParty ride. Lots of folks dressed up and even some doggos got in on the fun!
31.10.2025 02:10 — 👍 34 🔁 3 💬 3 📌 1I need to give a very big shoutout to the #BikeHFX marshals tonight. There were only 4 plus a lead and a sweep but they did well in picking their spots to cork and running up the pack.

Hey. Hi. Hello.
If you've ever griped about the cost of gas, having to pay for parking, or being stuck in rush hour traffic? If you have, check out my channel all about getting around (Halifax) by bike.
I release videos biweekly about bikes for transport and urbanism.
www.youtube.com/@hfxbybike
map of the route from ride with gps app. shows 5.6 miles, and some other stats about elevation
The plan was this route, about 9km, or 5.6 miles (not sure why it's in miles nor how to change it). There were only some minor changes to the route, I think the distance should be accurate! I'll let you know if anyone tracked it and shares with us.

Had a blast at the Halloween Bike Party & Critical Mass ride tonight! All the passerby seem to have thought our music & costumes were fun. It was lovely to see so many people have a touch of joy brought to their evening. Thanks as always to the organizers & ride marshals! #BikeHFX #CriticalMassHFX
