@pattybikes.com & I were on the front page of the @winnipegfreepress.com today about our municipal election podcast BALLOT BABES! We're just two humble loud mouths earning $0 to try and get voter turnout up from 37.5% in 2022 😱 listen at ballotbabes.com, record us a message & most of all VOTE IN OCT
It's pretty cool to not only have someone read your MA thesis, but then to blog about it and encourage others to read it. Thanks @robattrell.bsky.social!
The New Orleans@theneworleans.bsky.social · 3mo agoCassie Smith's Master's thesis examines non-work trips in Ottawa, emphasizing the need for sustainable urban mobility. Using a feminist lens, she highlights the gap between proposed reforms and their execution very clearly. Her findings urge for decisive action to reshape community transport habits
This was such an amazing tour of the bike infrastructure in Toronto. Janice Lukes likes to threaten us saying “you’re lucky we’re not Toronto.” I dunno Auntie Janice. I’m pretty jealous of TO today.

As a former Bicycle Mayor in Toronto (a real one at that) you can have both. #BikeTO h/t @bikehfxlobby.bsky.social @cassiesmith.bsky.social @bicyclemayorguelph.bsky.social @bicyclemayorhamont.icu @pattybikes.com @shifter.info @bikesky.social @ohtheurbanity.bsky.social gothamist.com/news/is-mamd...
Is Mamdani New York City's first real 'bike mayor?'
The abundance of cycling politicians on the Five Boro Bike Tour hints at a shift.

if a candidate in the upcoming civic election blocks another candidate or even supporters of that other candidate what does that tell you about what kind of a politician they will be? #winnipeg @pattybikes.com
Aca-xcuse me. AOC delivering hard facts while riding a bike??? Woman. You don't have to try to make me love you more. I can't. @ianmccausland.bsky.social

Shoutout to @pattybikes.com and @smbeiko.bsky.social of the Ballot Babes podcast. Listening to them has been very educational, and they give me a modicum of hope. www.pattybikes.com/ballot-babes
Ballot Babes — Patty Wiens - Bicycle Mayor of Winnipeg
Your local politics podcast to help you get hyped for this October’s civic election here in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Whether you’ve lived in One Great City your whole life, or you just moved here from somewhere else and you’re wondering how the actual “bleep” do things get done around here?

This was one of the most amazing conversations I've ever had since starting my podcast. I hope you watch Mevan's amazing story of fleeing Iraq under Sadam's persecution and how a bicycle had such a huge impact in her life. youtu.be/5mq2_Jh4YpE?...

I got this sweet package with a certificate from Michael Jen’s, city councillor in Edmonton. More respect than my own councillor, Jeff Browaty, who told me I should take the bus or drive in winter because he won’t spend an extra dime clearing bike lanes “just for me”.
In this episode we take calls from listeners regarding Winnipeg Transit and we dive deep into the latest Executive Policy Committee meeting, focusing on issues of safe speeds and the bike lane project on Wellington Crescent. youtu.be/sN8Pf3bYFEM

This is actually the perfect encapsulation of the Gillingham years. Icy downtown sidewalk that should have been cleared to pavement next to pristine roadway, covered in trash from overflowing vanity trashcan meant to make life harder for unhoused people but left unmaintained after press stunt
AT Critic@atcritic.bsky.social · 6mo agoFrom everyone one of my measures, this mayor is a failure.

Kat Abughazaleh@katmabu.bsky.social · 6mo agoIllinois has same-day voter registration! Make sure you show up at YOUR assigned polling place with 2 forms of ID!
A 61 year old man was killed on the stretch where this bike lane proposal keeps getting kicked into the future. Now our mayor is kicking seniors to the curb as well. We need a new mayor.
Andrew Kohan@akohan.bsky.social · 6mo agoI gotta say. This moment was jarring. And just absolutely tasteless considering we’re talking about this because a 61 year old on a bike was killed by a 19 year old with a car.
