NCC bike night — lots of happy people

Thank you @ncc-ccn.gc.ca for organizing.

A great evening for BikeNight! Good to see all ages and families all decked out!

Ringing our bells and we're off! First (annual) @ncc-ccn.gc.ca BikeNight!

It was a wonderful evening with lots of smiles at Ottawa’s own Tour La Nuit, let’s make BikeNight an annual event!

Many people with their bikes, in an urban setting.

Many people with their bikes, in a city park. There are light bulbs strung over the group.

@ncc-ccn.gc.ca Bike Night was a resounding success as far as I'm concerned. #ottbike showed UP!
Kids, doggos, tunes, bubbles, friends, lights, smiles, and BIKES!!!
This needs to be an annual event!

I'm won't try to post captures from the @ncc-ccn.gc.ca's glorious night bike ride tonight - won't do it justice. But my thanks go to them for organizing it. It was great to see friends old like Tobi Nussbaum and new like Gabriel St-Pierre who organizes Montreal's Tour de l’Île for Vélo Quebec.

Amazing! Time for BikeNight to be an annual event.

NCC Bike Night was great. We did 4 laps, and then drank 2 pitchers of sangria at the bistro.

Perfect night, very few notes.

Also surprised how many people had ZERO lights on their bikes. C'mon people!

BREAKING NEWS: We’ve been granted an injunction that will ensure that the bike lanes on Bloor, Yonge, and University will remain in place until the judge presiding over our Charter challenge makes his decision.

Two columns: Normal Radical Under Normal Accepting road violence Accepting road fatalities Accepting pedestrian fatalities Accepting devastating losses to families Accepting excessive speed Accepting pollution Accepting gridlock Accepting the loss of youth mobility Accepting the loss of senior mobility Radical Wanting to stop road violence Wanting to prevent road fatalites Wanting to prevent pedestrian fatalities Wanting to prevent loss to families Wanting slower speeds Wanting less pollution Wanting less gridlock Wanting youth mobility Wanting senior mobility Its time to rethink what is considered normal
