Canadian Bicycle Mechanic Workforce Survey 2026 The survey is open from July 27 to September 14, 2026. forms.cloud.microsoft/Pages/Respon... Cc: @velocanadabikes.bsky.social @bikesky.social

Rob McMonagle © • 1st ... X Founder - EASI: A thinktank for appropria... 3h • O Today we're launching the Canadian Bicycle Mechanic Workforce Survey-the first national effort to better understand Canada's bicycle mechanic workforce. As cycling and micromobility continue to grow, one question keeps coming up: Do we have the skilled workforce needed to support that growth? The reality is that we don't yet have the data to answer it. Other countries have already identified workforce shortages and invested in national training and workforce development initiatives. In Canada, we're still missing the evidence needed to make informed decisions about skills, training, and labour force planning. That's why the Canadian Bicycle Industry Skills Coalition (CBISC) is conducting this survey. We're inviting bicycle mechanics, bike shop owners, bike share organizations, employers, trainers, and others across the industry to share their experiences. The results will establish Canada's first national baseline on the bicycle mechanic workforce and help guide future workforce development, training, and industry strategies. The survey is open from July 27 to September 14, 2026. If you work in the bicycle industry, I encourage you to take a few minutes to participate and help shape the future of our workforce. https://Inkd.in/gkswMGtvCanadian Bicycle Mechanic Workforce Survey 2026 This survey gathers data from people in Canada currently working in the bicycle and/or micromobility industry, including bicycle mechanics, those responsible for hiring or training mechanics, and other industry employees. The purpose of this research is to understand workforce challenges facing both employers and employees, establish a baseline understanding of the bicycle mechanic profession in Canada, and support industry development and improved access to training for mechanics. You can learn more about us here: www.bicyclemechanics.ca Survey is expected to take 5-7 minutes. Your responses to this survey will be kept strictly confidential. All information collected will be used solely for research and analysis purposes and will be reported only in aggregate form.

The wizards at @uoftcities.bsky.social were kind enough to record my interview. Watch here archive.tveyes.com/18120/455385... Read the @spacing.bsky.social article here spacing.ca/toronto/2025... And forward both to your elected reps. ‘Why Canada Must Recognize Bicycle Mechanics as a Profession’

Since the 1960s, the genetic code has been used to predict protein sequences from DNA and mRNA sequences. Our @nature.com article demonstrates that these predictions miss thousands of protein sequences present in human tissues. www.nature.com/articles/s41... 1/

We report many proteins not predicted by the genetic code. They are stable & abundant O( 10³ ) copies / cell. Generative mechanisms include codon-anticodon mismatches & RNA modifications. Their abundance depends on codon frequency & protein stability. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Never did I think I would see a cure for sickle cell in my lifetime. A friend of mine in fifth grade died from this disease. My parents kept me home from the funeral because they thought I was too young to handle it. Modern science is a miracle. www.wafb.com/2026/06/23/n...

Remember the current NIH director going on about protecting researchers from government censorship? Today his people called the police in to forcibly remove my colleagues from their own society meeting for sharing an editorial published in their flagship journal that was critical of him. Gift link

If I break a traffic law as a cyclist, I do so to: 1) Make up for poor road design 2) Reduce risk of a conflict or collision w/ a driver, cyclist or pedestrian When I see drivers breaking traffic laws, it seems to be for: 1) Personal convenience 2) Impatience 3) Domination of other road users

Brent Toderian@brenttoderian.bsky.social · 2mo ago

This video camera study showed that less than 5% of people on bikes broke traffic laws while riding bikes, yet 66% of people did so while driving. And perhaps even more importantly, if you REALLY want even MORE bike-riders to obey laws, build more protected bike infrastructure. Via @carltonreid.com

Within each category there is one sub-category for trends over the most recent week (Trends) and one sub-category for current parameter values relative to a specified baseline (Current values). Trends and current values are weighted equally when determining the final score for a category. All Forecast input data and sources are available here (https://datastudio.google.com/embed/u/0/reporting/42b886cf-d661-488e-b7d8-5c5836b55ab6/page/p_2yqs028mwc). Past Forecast scores are available in the table below. Forecast scores are grouped into 4 ranges: MODERATE (1 to <5, white), HIGH (6 to <10, yellow), VERY HIGH (10 to <15, orange), SEVERE (>15 red).'

Back in the Twitter days, I made a point of following women, as men had much larger followings. Gander is the new Canadian platform. I have some invites and I’m reaching out to prominent Canadian women artists, writers, politicians, health advocates, other leaders to join us over there. 🇨🇦🪿
