Cycle Toronto

Did you know that in-line skates and roller blades are not legal in Toronto bike lanes and cycling infrastructure like this stretch by Little Norway Park? Regardless of whether you're making full stops at intersections or not?

Of course we'd expect Toronto Police Services to know all the rules of the road and enforce them accordingly. (Although we're pleased these folks apparently were not tackled and concussed for their infractions.)

Are you between the ages of 15 - 30, have Canadian citizen/residents/refugee status, love talking to people, and are passionate about cycling in Toronto? Then we may have the perfect job for you! Cycle Toronto is hiring 3 community organizers, with a start date of Monday, July 6th.

Your regular reminder that the world's most famous cycling city could have gone a very different way. Post-war Amsterdam prioritized more cars and new freeways, following the same playbook as many North American cities. By the 1970s cycling modal share was just a fraction of daily trips. The lesson isn't that some cities are naturally just "better suited" to cycling, it's that change is possible, and doesn't happen by accident.
