“My next car will be electric” - everyone I know when they find my Twitter account If we want better streets, lively neighbourhoods & equal access to transportation we need to design our cities so people have the option to drive less. Electric or not we have a driving problem.

I just had a man physically assault me because he didn’t like how I was riding my bicycle. I was changing lanes out of the bike lane on McDermot so I could turn left at Rorie. He walked in front of my bike a slapped me, telling me the bike lane is over there. I’m ok but shaken.

The solution isn’t lowering #gasprices It’s building more resilient cities where people don’t need to rely on the high cost of owning a personal vehicle. Build better transit. Invest in cycling infrastructure & the pedestrian experience. Elevate people across all income levels.

Counted 40 cars drive past me on Osborne while waiting for the bus. 3 had more than 1 passenger, they had 2. My 18 bus is so crowded it’s hard to stand. As a city we need to shift priorities and start thinking about sustainable, functional ways of moving people. @FTWinnipeg

“Too many cities are ignoring what is arguably the cheapest and most flexible general-purpose option, which happens to be available already: the bus” It’s time to love the bus again

If You Want to Save Your City, Fall in Love With the Bus

Talk of the transportation future is focused on the next shiny thing. But one old technology is central to real transformation.

Well, I guess I’m a winter biker now... totally planned. I have to say if it wasn’t for the new downtown bike lanes I wouldn’t even attempt getting home along side traffic. The separation makes it so much safer, especially in rough weather.

Everyone passes me. I’m ok with it. 🚲 I still get to work faster than any other form of transportation and enjoy the ride.

If we always designed our city by public vote it wouldn’t be a very pleasant place to live. The fact that 35% of #Winnipeg may be starting to get urbanism makes me hopeful. I hope new councillors will prioritize people and push @Mayor_Bowman to take progressive action this term

I gave up my car 3.5 years ago & have enjoyed saving money & the lifestyle improvements from walking, bussing, biking & using car share. It’s not a #waroncars . We need to look @ multimodal approaches to city building so that the city is safe, pleasant & easy to navigate for all

Shot 2 down, 2 weeks until full vaccination status. Grateful & looking forward to those after work parties where you have to balance a little appetizer in a napkin in one hand & a glass of wine in the other

Paris looks like Copenhagen right now and proving to everyone if you build it they will come. Transformation takes civic leadership and an understanding of people’s needs. We need to get around so if you provide a safe easy way to do this people will use the infrastructure.

My ideal city transportation scenario; frequent transit on high streets, simple upright bicycles, cars shared between neighbours & family with infrequent use, walkable neighbourhood streets lined with storefronts…. So essentially rewind to the 1st half of the 20th century.

The Bicycle Parade in #Winnipeg on May 4, 1918. The English safety bicycle was a sensation in booming NA cities of the day & this design inspired the Dutch bicycle which has gone mostly unchanged to this day I speak to this history in Plain Bicycle Pt 1
