Happy World Bike Day Guelph! Today is a special day celebrating this two two wheeled mode of transportation. A symbol of equality, active lifestyle, human ingenuity and freedom.

If you're active around Guelph, you'll have noticed the magnolias are blooming!! Join Bicycle Mayor Andrea Bidgood for a beautiful ride tomorrow morning at 10:30 — starting at Carter Park and ending at Summit Ridge Park in Guelph's east end.

One reason Guelph is out shines other citys in active transportation is our two rivers. The Speed and Eramosa couldn't be built on, so beautiful paths follow them. Perfect for walking and biking. And right now, with water high, you can paddle them too. A whole new mode of active transportation.

Its Doors Open Guelph is today! www.doorsopenontario.on.ca/pages/events... A Spot to consider is the Old Reformatory Trails. Great way to learn local history from the knowledgeable volunteers while getting active. Trails are ready for your visit. #Guelph #DoorsOpenGuelph #GetActive #GCAT

GCAT is turning 10! To celebrate, we're hosting a tote bag design competition. Submit your design to info@gcat.ca by April 29 for a chance to win a $200 gift card to a local Guelph bike/sporting goods shop + a GCAT tee. Details at gcat.ca/gcats-annive...!

All modes of active transportation seem to be coming out from where they've been hiding all winter. Like a bear after hibernation, Guelph is getting active!

The Wyndham Street downtown reconstruction is officially kicking off today! It’s going to be a bit of a maze down here, but it’s so exciting to think about the finished product. The design looks amazing, modern streetscapes, better bike lanes, and a refreshed St. George’s Square.

Looking forward to tonight's @activeguelph.bsky.social annual meeting and talk by Ken Eden. It might not look like it in Guelph today but the biking season is laying in wait for the chance to pounce.

Thank you for attending our annual meeting!

Good news for Guelph to Goderich (G2G) Rail Trail users! Funding has been secured to help fill the 2.7 km trail gap from Woodlawn Road to Silvercreek Parkway North which the City of Guelph hopes to finish by next year. #BikeSky #ONpoli CC @activeguelph.bsky.social www.guelphtoday.com/local-news/f...

Funding moves Guelph closer to closing gap in the G2G Rail Trail

Currently, the only way for trail users to continue their journeys between Guelph and Marden is to travel on the narrow shoulder of Silvercreek Parkway North

GCAT is looking for new board members. You don’t need to be an “expert.” You need to care. Safer streets. Better crossings. Stronger community. Applications close Feb 25. https://gcat.ca/join-the-board/ This is how change happens.

Active transportation doesn’t move itself. People move it. GCAT board applications open. Deadline: Feb 25. www.gcat.ca/join-the-board

Safer streets don’t happen by accident. They happen because someone keeps showing up. Nominate your Top Cat at info@gcat.ca🐾🚲 Feb 24 deadline.

Spring has sprung and with the warmer weather comes melting snow and spring rain. That means flooding can impact trails, bike routes, and pedestrian pathways: especially near the Speed River and Guelph Lake.

Policy tells us what exists. Storytelling lets us imagine what could. When we can’t picture a future, we default to survival mode with short-term decisions, false trade-offs, “good enough for now,” "save a few dollars where we can." Cities do this too.

New @taypace.bsky.social article outlining the many concerns around council’s decision to not plow bike lanes this winter, with some insightful feedback from @activeguelph.bsky.social & @bicyclemayorguelph.bsky.social. This is a mistake and a liability. #Guelph #cycling @thebikinglawyer.bsky.social

Cycling advocates warn there will be more angry drivers this winter

Virtually all lanes are lines on the roads 💅 Still no answer on keeping bus stops and parking accessible if we're not maintaining bike lanes where they intersect.

Gibson says he realizes that this goes against some orthodoxy on this subject, but the city is chasing Vision Zero and this is a safety issue. Most bike lanes in Guelph are just painted lines on the road.
