It was a real pleasure to join #kidicalmasshfx for a fantastic bike ride through Halifax’s West End today. So many happy kids experiencing the joy and freedom that comes with pedalling your two wheels. #BikeHfx

Here’s the β€œelephant in the room” with the outstanding (and FAST) growth in urban biking here in Paris β€” the tension between 2 NATURAL ALLIES, people on bikes and people walking, needs work, lest it become a political wedge issue. City Hall reminds everyone that pedestrians have priority EVERYWHERE.

Here's a link to my piece in the Globe and Mail, on the fierce urgency of bus priority.

"In a city, if everyone is compromising, everyone is winning."

Halifax should be on this list. We need to accelerate our progress, not slow it down or stop it altogether!

You can tell a lot about a leader by the way they dance ;-)

Email is always good. I can let our Parks staff and the Board for the Chain of Lakes Trail Association aware.

You can see the values of the Scottish Parliament manifest in the building itself: Stewardship; Inclusiveness; Excellence; and Respect. The seating plan reduces β€œoppositional” attitudes; there’s a childcare centre, baby-changing area, buggy storage; and amazing artwork.

Haven’t seen a midge yet. It’s been on the cooler side and a little wet this week.
