Tim Walz: "It's almost unimaginable that he's got Milei in there, giving him $20 billion, so that they can undercut us and China can buy their soybeans from them. And now China has learned they can replace our markets."

"Cranksgiving" is becoming an annual tradition! This year we took the GO train to Burlington and cycled back to Toronto, fuelling ourselves with bagels & burgers along the way. #BikeTO #BikeON #bikesky @bromptonbicycle.bsky.social @gotransit.bsky.social @jsquaredink.bsky.social

How microplastics may be reshaping our bodies and minds.

“The particles are in our blood, brains and guts – and scientists are only beginning to learn what they do.”

Microplastics like those from car tires. The bigger and heavier the vehicle, the more microplastics shed.

"the infrastructure that would work on Parkside Dr, that the city has been trying to build so as to end the alleged “cash grab” of speed cameras, has essentially been outlawed by Ford himself." - @thekeenanwire.bsky.social

Edward Keenan: How do you solve Toronto’s speeding problem? By doing pretty much the complete opposite of what Doug Ford is doing

Separated bike lanes are key to making Parkside Drive safer. Too bad Ontario's premier is not a fan.

Despite all your submissions, disappointed Council adopted the item without debate. With new cycling projects not moving forward and previous approvals put on hold, the (already modest) planned progress of Toronto's cycling network is at risk of being set back a decade.
