I did reassure attendees that if they didn't want to ride with the threat of showers that it wasn't a big deal. So far today, we've had 7 people drop out. But 3 people signed up!

So, uh, we were sold out but now there's 4 tickets remaining if you'd like to join us tomorrow!

The latest forecast is now saying "Mainly cloudy, 20C".

Huzzah, the ride will be going ahead as planned.

The weather doesn't look super amazing right now for our Sunday ride to Steveston but also not rainy enough to postpone. A final call will be made tomorrow morning, but if you have a ticket and decide not to come, please cancel it.

A photo of many bikes, people, different lights of different colour, in a field, at night. There are lit residential towers in the background.

A photo of several people on bikes riding, at night, on a multiuse path, heading towards an underpass of a bridge. There's a green hedge on the right side, and water and a marina on the left.

A photo of many people on bikes lined up on a separated bike lane on a bridge, at night, waiting to get through a stop light.

It's actually two six-storey parkades which are somehow supposed to alleviate traffic in the park rather than induce it and what are we even doing here, folks vancouversun.com/news/local-n...

Instead, we urge them to adopt the work increasing transit in the park, restore substantial portions of the temporary bike lane, and direct staff to seriously address the goals of reducing private vehicle use and safely increasing active transportation.

In a time frame that is not 22 years.😒
