🚲Happy Bike Month! Here at 8 80, we believe in the #RightToMobility, in other words, the freedom to move around, whenever and wherever! There's no better time to dust off your bike, explore a new route and experience your city on two wheels. This month, we're celebrating all the reasons people ride: for freedom, for fun, for health, for the environment, and for the simple joy of getting outside. 💬 Let us know in the comments: Why do YOU ride? 📸 Share your favourite cycling photos, routes, or Bike Month adventures and tag @880cities for a chance to be featured throughout the month!

✨The School Street at Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Elementary School was full of joy and excitement this past month.✨ Students led the celebration with a choir performance featuring songs they chose themselves. Families, children, teachers, and neighbours gathered to play, chalk, skip rope, and connect after school🖍️🎶 Congratulations to @citymississauga and the entire school community on a successful Spring pilot🙌 It was inspiring to see so many partners come together to support active travel from school, encourage play and movement, and reimagine neighbourhood streets as spaces for fun, connection, and community! We loved being a part of this collaborative effort through planning and engagement. And hope to see the School Street return to the school next year! @GovCanHealth @GrnCommunities @EcologieUrbaine @scyofbc @umontreal @ubc @queensu @torontomet #880cities #SchoolStreets #ActiveSchoolTravel #RightToMobility #RightToPublicSpaces

The @citymississauga is one of 23 communities that are part of the National Active School Streets Initiative, the nationwide #SchoolStreets movement that @880Cities supports. Throughout April, 8 80 Cities supported the City in engaging the school community through local project planning meetings and pop-up engagements. The City launched their School Street on Woodington Drive in front of the Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Elementary School is part of this movement. The School Streets will run from May 4 through May 29, during afternoon school dismissal time on school days only. ❔ What are School Streets ❔ 🏫These are car-free spaces for children in front of schools at the start and end of the school day. 🪁These streets are open for children’s play, increasing rates of active travel, improving road safety and fostering social connection. 🏃🏽🤸🏽🚲 🔗Learn more about School Streets in Mississauga: mississauga.ca/projects-and-… @GovCanHealth @grncommunities Centre d'écologie urbaine @scyofbc @UMontreal @TorontoMet #SchoolStreets #Mississauga #880Cities #ActiveSchoolTravel #RightToMobility

🌍This Earth Day, we’re reflecting on our Responsibility to the Land & Each Other—one of 8 80 Cities’ core values, alongside the rights to mobility, participation, and public space. While our approach is people first, we know that building better cities means recognizing our deep interconnectedness with the Earth and with one another. 🌱 That’s why we encourage conscious consumption—both individually and collectively. As an organization, we put this into practice by prioritizing walking, cycling, public transit, and reducing waste through reuse. ✔️We design and co-design our programs and projects from a people-first approach, supporting local economies and the responsible use of public spaces, so that we can all create cities that care for people, place, and planet. 🔗Learn more about the actions you can take at 🍁 earthday.ca and 🌐 earthday.org #EarthDay2026 #880Cities #CreatingCitiesForAll #RightToPublicSpace #RightToMobility #RightToParticipate #ResponsibilityToLand

🚍 Not begging for 1,000 more buses in Pune. DEMANDING our RIGHT to 360° 24/7/365 public city buses! Assisted by metro, but buses carry major 'riders x distance' share. Don't reduce buses to feeders—metro feeds THEM! #VoteForBus #PunePublicTransport #RightToMobility

That would be great for everyone! #880Cities #CreatingCitiesForAll #RightToMobility #Safety
What if every city had “Bike Buses” for kids going to school & daycare? What if safe, protected bike infrastructure made them easy? From Nijmegen NL, a #BikeBus developed in partnership with an after-school childcare. HT to great folks at @Cycling_Embassy

Healthier and more sustainable cities begin with the #righttomobility!
With political commitment, things can change fast! In #Paris of Anne Hidalgo more people are now cycling than driving!
