It’s actually happening. Ford is ripping these bike lanes out Tuesday. Be there if you can.
Work may not start until the evening and this protest may last all night. Dress warm, bring lights and food/water/prescripts. On site guidance and support will be available. It's time to defend our bike lanes. More info to follow in coming days.
Bike lane removals from Islington to Royal York are anticipated to start the evening of Oct. 13. Community members are encouraged to meet at the Bloor Green P Lot for Tom Riley Park at 5pm onwards (come whenever you can) 1/2
We've got a premier distracting people from health care & housing issues by lying about bike lanes causing congestion, stoking a culture war. We got motorists intentionally running into cyclists. Just because this doesn't suit your preferred activism you don't need to invalidate it. Weak take Emmett
Be Ready For Action.

The time is nigh. All out to save our bike lanes! We anticipate removals staring this coming Tuesday. Stay tuned here for details on community responses. Location is of course Bloor West between Islington and Royal York. Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more.
This is who we share the roads with. So please stop the “cyclists are so dramatic” bullshit.
I feel you, ride safe friend.
Be safe out there Hamilton friends.
HPS charged Newlands w Careless Driving & Assault. We recommend in situations like this that you get the license plate but always be safe if you suspect a violent reaction. As you can see from the second video attached, Mr. Newlands then fled nearly running over our client in the process 2/3
TW Last week our client was cycling in Hamilton. He passed James Newlands in his grey pickup truck. Words were exchanged, Newlands sped unsafely past our client then brake checked. Shocking video confirmed Mr. Newlands intentions & shed light on this terrible incident of road rage 1/3
Workshop: #Cycling and the #Law with @thebikinglawyer.bsky.social on Tuesday evening in Toronto!
In @thestar.com I write about agitslop seeping into Toronto’s election & politics. AstroTurf campaigns to AI-driven apps, we need a Blade Runner to help us understand what’s real & what’s fake, but it may inspire a renaissance of showing up in public space for protest or just conversation.
“As snow falls across Toronto, three South Asian delivery drivers weave through traffic to deliver meals during the city’s busiest hours. Their stories reveal lives shaped by migration, ambition and grit…”
Thank you Doctors for Safe Cycling!
I've a daughter who works in ER in BC. She's seen the carnage inflicted on cyclists from drivers & poor infrastructure. Take bike lanes away & it will become far worse. The article mentions "About 650 health-care workers have signed a letter calling on the province (Ont) to back down on its plans"
So much respect for this, and the framing. ABC, the right wing version of Progress Toronto, has used health care workers/hospitals as reason to rip them out. This puts a lie to that (and on University ambulances can bypass cars in the wide bikelanes if needed). So many lies.
"We get lots of patients who unfortunately have been struck by cars or had a crash because of unsafe road infrastructure, because of potholes, damage, or obstructed bike lanes" @edwardxie.bsky.social #DoctorsforSafeCycling

culture war and political opportunism
When has car parking ever helped to reduce or eliminate congestion on roads?
