"Fietssters proselytizing for fietssterdom". The Bikeology Guild is a Canadian women-led, women focused, not-for-profit helping all women to thrive as urban riders. Edmonton-based, internationally-informed, we know bicycles are women's freedom machines.
The #bikelash is real.
When provincial MLAs even *hint* they'll legislate against bike lanes, municipal administration staff backpedal on planning, design, & budgeting, regardless of elected council's directions. "What's the point" they ask, "if the province is just going to pull it out?" #yegbike

Listening (again) to @sgoodyear.bsky.social's interviews with presenters at Vélo City 2025. The theme of #solidarity is so resonant in Alberta, as we confront #bikelash- right now, the prov govt is drafting legislation to hobble municipalities' bike infrastructure.

We're grateful to & inspired by the many women -in Glasgow, Zurich, Valencia, Toronto, Gdansk & etc- doing the kind of advocacy we want to do more of: teaching diverse women to ride bikes, organizing bike buses, working on "mood shift for mode shift." 🙏🏼🙏🏼 @sgoodyear.bsky.social

Data from all over the world, and now #boston continues to show in an overwhelming amount that bike lanes reduce traffic congestion because the people that live IN THE CITY actually want to get around safer, and easier...that's a bike, walking, bus, or train. We won't choose car first given a choice

Mayor Wu has hard evidence that her bike lane projects are helping reduce traffic – but her administration is reluctant to share it.

2/8 The logic is seductive: let those who can pay exit the public queue, shortening it for everyone else.
But this fails the laws of physics.

YUP. It's time to start recognizing, publicly, that #Edmonton is a #bikecity.
We're not Amsterdam-Copenhagen-Montréal-Paris-Oulu yet. But we're on our way, and the electorate is providing the momentum. Our mayor, and the majority of elected councillors use bicycles as active transportation.

@andrewknack.bsky.social we tried to get to Edgemont to last night's community safety meeting, but there are no reasonable, comfortable, safe bike routes for lone women to cycle to there at night, even with e-assist. "Can't get there from here" was the sad refrain of the evening.

We would ask why the GBA+ lens is abandoned, & why Yeg cannot follow the lead of Helsinki & Oulu: invest in infrastructr & service that makes other-than-car transpo more convenient & fun for kids&♀️, all year. Eg:clear snow from bike & walk routes *B4* any car routes; speed ⬇️30kph; ⬆️buses; ⬇️roadwidth

Say goodbye to city councillor Mary Deros, perhaps Montreal's most fervent bike-lane hater.
She hated then so much!
She lost the recent election, asked for a recount, and lost by more! Let's all hope that's the last we ever hear or see from her.
