Congratulations, Montreal!
It’s encouraging that in Montreal that City has put in a spectacular bike route along deMaissoneuve, which is above the subway in the core. They spent big bucks on this long route, and named it after Claire Morissette with words miltante ecologiste! It now has been extended further west another few kilometres and gets about […]
Bike to Work Day, 2011
Bloor and Yonge – showing the type of traffic that really should be occurring over two subway lines! It was nice to have the smooth asphalt of this part of Yorkville/Bloor to ride on, but it remains a travesty that the City and the merchants failed to provide adequate process and bike safety – though […]

Take The Tooker Bike Rally
50 politically motivated cyclists took to Bloor today (Oct. 23) to say “We Bike We Vote”. En route they were greeted by Mayoral hopeful Himy Syed who redirected cyclists to the car drop-off loop across from Trinity Bellwoods Park, jumped on a table, and passionately articulated his desire for a bicycle-friendly city. The mass then took their message for […]
