And also to @macg1llivray.bsky.social for bringing THE RIG (that's what I'm gonna call it) and all the marshaling gear.
Fog! Lights! And more decibels than you can shake two (2) sticks at!

That looks like about 9.6km up to the Staples parking lot, and then 10.5km for those who returned to the Commons afterwards!

If you care about people being injured and killed on our roads. Read this entire thread.

What's up democracy superfans, I'm at the transportation standing committee meeting to see if this committee will change our road safety strategy to prevent preventable deaths.

Hey. Hi. Hello.

In this Halloween Special , I continue HFX By Bike's annual tradition of trying to genuinely scare you using nothing but spreadsheets and graphs.

This year it's all about the city's taxes and why it feels like Halifax can never get ahead.

This night was such a blast. My friend Lael dressed up as a dragon to match my knight. And she indulged me in taking some absolutely badass pics! ##Halifax #criticalmass #cycling #HfxBike

I need to give a very big shoutout to the #BikeHFX marshals tonight. There were only 4 plus a lead and a sweep but they did well in picking their spots to cork and running up the pack.

The plan was this route, about 9km, or 5.6 miles (not sure why it's in miles nor how to change it). There were only some minor changes to the route, I think the distance should be accurate! I'll let you know if anyone tracked it and shares with us.

map of the route from ride with gps app. shows 5.6 miles, and some other stats about elevation

We got to test ride the Brunswick st bike lanes this evening on our Halloween #CriticalMass ride. Very fresh pavement, quite wide! Smooth rolling!

Ben MacLeod 馬志斌 @benmacleod.bsky.social · 12d

Brunswick Street, downtown Halifax – the old painted bike lanes are gone, replaced with a wide, bidirectional protected bikeway that looks not far from completion. 🚲 #BikeHfx

Brunswick Street, a newly repaved urban street in downtown Halifax, next to the Halifax Metro Centre. The western side of the street has a new, bidirectional bikeway separated from the traffic lanes by a low curb. There are several 1970s apartment towers in the background.

A view of the same new bike lane on Brunswick Street but facing the opposite direction. There are some construction workers working on the bike lane near Sackville Street. The sidewalk on the west side of the street is closed for construction.
