Thought this was pretty interesting from the meeting I attended. Unfortunately I think I was the only citizen there, however there was a bike advocacy group as well. I learned about all these programs to teach people skills for biking (including repair) that I didn't know existed, which was cool. Also saw what the city is doing this year to upgrade the bike network (not nearly enough in my opinion, but better than nothing.)

I biked Davidson east recently, and the multi-use path is in such a disgraceful shape it's honestly better to just ride on the road for a significant part of it. Easily one of the worst paths I've ridden on. They are planning to do repairs but not to that stretch, maybe I will take photos or a video the next time I am out riding.

Next meeting is on the 21st of May if anyone is interested.

Edit: Corrected next meeting date

Why can't we have a Mayor like Calgary's? This was his response to the news that the AB govt was planning an anti-bikelane law similar to Ontario's. Link to his bluesky post so you can see him in cycling gear praising the cycleways in the city https://bsky.app/profile/jeromyyyc.bsky.social/post/3mldr7yqtp225 And here he is on a bus talking about how to promote better living in the city https://bsky.app/profile/jeromyyyc.bsky.social/post/3mldwiibm6q2x

Can anyone imagine or even picture Sutcliffe commuting on a bike? Or for that matter, standing on the curb waiting for an OC transpo bus that will never arrive?
