Cycling around Toronto thinking about the city. Sometimes stopping to reposition heavy objects.

My penultimate delivery with @thebikebrigade before we move to Vancouver! The @FYfoodbank is one of my favourite places, and it was great to catch up with Julie! Such an awesome group there. Going to miss the Bike Brigade rides, hoping there's something like it in Vancouver.

New Bathurst Instagram account features testimonials from neighbours that appear to be AI homunculi spawned to spew drivel at the behest of some anonymous puppet master. Props to Shawn for doing the leg work

the joys of cycling in Toronto. Could have been worse I guess, I wasn't hurt but my Load75 is off to the shop with a bent front rim and disk rotor. Driver stopped and gave me her details. #BikeTO
This was my least favourite part of today's ride. A combination of being in a rush, slippery roads, and an unloaded cargo bike with winter studs on the front tire. Fortunately the streetcar behind me was stopped in traffic and the damage to the bike (and me) was only cosmetic.
And later in the ride, here's a @Bell truck trying to crowd me off the College St. cycle track, because he needed to drive down it for some reason.
Two days running these guys have blocked the new Wellington St. cycle track at rush hour because they were too lazy to park in the loading dock of the building they were working on. Several cyclists asked them to move, but they were not having it.
Great to see the developing two-way cycle track on Wellington St., but things get very strange going eastbound when you get to Blue Jays Way. There's an operating bicycle signal and pavement markings that seem to lead you directly into oncoming traffic. #BikeTO
Will the cycle track eventually continue eastwards along the south side of Wellington? I wish I'd angled the photo up a bit higher to capture the overhead signals and signage.
The most expensive cat breed in the world is apparently a stray cat who walks in your front door uninvited and decides he’s staying, and once that’s decided you notice he has some health issues from living rough. Although everyone at @RoncyVet agrees he’s super cute.
Some of those Richmond St. barriers and flex posts need adjusting again. May have to break out the pry bars, though will have to wait until next week. Any suggestions for clipping off the dead flex post? #BikeTO
Getting ready for my @thebikebrigade run and Spotify suggested I might want to listen to the new Barbie soundtrack. Why not, I thought, and then while riding and listening to it a bug flew into my mouth and I swallowed it, and I think we can confidently infer causation. #bikeTO
Anyone who’s skied at Mt Tremblant won’t be surprised at the horrific gondola accident. I’ve seen them drive snow cats up busy narrow runs in white-out conditions, and drive heavy equipment around the base of that gondola when the area was packed with kids.
Some days are for the big white cargo bike, some days are for the speedy bike. #BikeTO

When we demand safe streets infrastructure it takes the city YEARS to act.
But when we take action? The city urgently finds the resources to destroy.
Ask @lawsonfor44 why these are being removed, when will Chicago get bumpouts at all intersections?
