My take on why… E-bikes Need More and Bigger Bike Lanes independent.com/2024/04/26/e… @TheOpEdProject @BikeMapsTeam @UCSBgeog

E-bikes Need More and Bigger Bike Lanes

E-bikes are disruption, but the tension brought by disruption is an opportunity for change and innovation.

In the alternative universe category, Penticton BC city councillors have decided not to talk about safe separated bike lanes for three years because they think there are other things that are more important. You just can’t make this stuff up. cbc.ca/news/canada/british-c…

This B.C. city council has voted to stop talking about separated bike lanes for 3 years | CBC News

In a contentious decision around the council table and in the community, city council in Penticton, B.C., has thrown a roadblock in front of the construction of new bike lanes.

This was hard but rewarding to produce. Gentrification is a complicated issue but CLTs are so far one of the only 'solutions' I've seen that offer a serious response. It's crazy challenging to maintain renter communities in a real-estate market, but we can still do smthing abt it

How Canada’s first national cycling map will benefit both riders and public planners

Cycling in Canada has been experiencing a great boom in recent years. Yet, there was no consistent and complete way to measure cycling infrastructure, until now.

Great to meet @bmdoucet on his Canadian tour! The @ChatrLab team did tour of Vancouver's bicycle infrastructure - talking about what is working, as well as what is not. Thanks @mobi_bikes for the e-bike support for the hills 🤣
