Yes! It's incredible to see so many people getting around #yyj with cycling and active transportation. And so important to have facilities to manage so many bikes at an event like this like the valet.

Saw this photo from yesterday of the free bike valet service yesterday in #VictoriaBC for the free Canadian Snowbirds performance over the ocean along Dallas Road. Wow #YYJ you are doing the #cyclinglife great, setting an example for the rest of #NorthAmerica let alone #Canada. #gobbybike #bikesky

I rode my bike to pick up pizza for dinner 🍕 @saanichbc.bsky.social shelbourne bike lanes made it quick and easy. And fun! #cargobikelife

Changing commute from kid summer camp drop off can be a good thing. Somehow going from a major rec center/mall to my office took my #ebike through the @saanichbc.bsky.social Centennial Trail system... And it took less time than driving 😮 #yyj

One of my favorite summer things is riding a bike to get ice cream. Making good use of @saanichbc.bsky.social Centennial Trails to find Hullabaloo coffee+ice cream in #yyj 🚲🍦❤️

I was on my bike when this car raced in front of me going 100km/hr+. It's a miracle no kids on their way to the rec center were hit. I'm glad the driver was ok. Well done to @saanichbc.bsky.social emergency responders for getting there and helping so fast ❤️ cheknews.ca/single-vehic...

Single-vehicle crash closes road, re-routes BC Transit stops, knocks out power in Saanich

A single vehicle crash due to a suspected medical incident has closed a portion of Elk Lake Drive while BC Hydro crews work to repair downed power lines, a job that's expected to take several hours.

In #cargobikelife, seatbelts are crucial for getting loved ones home safe. Like sushi 🍣and rockets🍦 🤣 #ebikes #saanich

Even humdrum grocery runs can be amazing if you are lucky to have a route on a nice bike path in nature like this in @saanichbc.bsky.social ❤️ #cargobikelife #ebikes #yyj

With #ebikes I like how you can just hop on and go without anything fancy. Instead of Lycra-clad you can go flip-flop-clap 🤣 And still get to where you need to go quickly without much effort at all! #cargobikelife #saanich

This week I had to make a trip from downtown @victoria.ca to @uvic.ca - it was so nice taking my cargo bike feeling safe from busy car traffic along the protected lanes on shelbourne. Thank you #yyj and #saanich 😄 #cargobikelife

A typical mid week grocery shop for my family in #saanich. I got 50 lbs in my cargo bike with room to spare 😁 What I love about this bike design is the low box so the handling doesn't change much at all either. Right @zacdevries.bsky.social 😉 #yyj #cycle #cargobikes

Amsterdam: walking, bikes, and boats. This is a city that lives multimodal - freedom to get around however! (bus/subway/tram happening off camera 😅)

In #saanch took the #ebike for a #DQ run. I noticed they have compostable spoons now too. Neat! #ecargobikelife #yyj #dqrun

Scenes from a smoky dusk on my commute home in @victoria.ca. It is so cool that you can get up close to ships and see the refit in progress at Point Hope Shipyard along the road and protected cycle path. #maritime #yyj #blueeconomy #shipyard

The #ecargobikelife makes it errands easy. I fit in a grocery stop on the commute home with lots of room for a good sized shop. Also crucial to have more routes to get to destinations like the AAA in #yyj - thank you @victoria.ca and #saanich for that ! 🚴🚴‍♂️🚴 #ebike

Heavy traffic when driving on the left, heavy traffic when cycling on the right in #yyj I have more fun cycling - and for me it's often faster than driving. Grateful for the infrastructure we have @victoria.ca #saanich 🙏🚴‍♂️🚶🚶‍♂️🚴‍♀️ #ebike #ecargobike #ecargobikelife

After dinner I realized we were short on a few supplies. Quiet evening streets in #saanich make it easy to use my #ecargobike to the grocery store and get home in minutes. And it's fun to ride too! #ebike #ecargobikelife #yyj

Scenes from my #ebike commute to work each day. The little exercise, feeling the wind and sun, and being in a bit of nature helps balance work stress. I find my days feel far better starting (and ending) this way! #cargobikelife #yyj #saanich

I had a lot of fun riding my #ebike downtown to meet good friends at a pub patio. Catching up with friends can seem hard to do when it's busy but it always makes me feel better. It's nice being out to catch the sunset and city lights too. #ebike #yyj #cargobikelife

When you're late for work, being stuck behind a raised bridge can be frustrating. But then again you can get a front row seat to a working harbour, and spot some heavy duty marine traffic getting the job done. Very cool! #blueeconomy #workingharbour #yyj

What do I do about rain when cycle commuting? For me, I have a decent jacket and athletic pants. I keep a change of dry clothes and shoes in a cubby at work to change if I need it. I seem to need them only a few times per year. I'm always nice and dry all day at work! #cargobikelife #ebike #yyj

An inspiring visit to #scienceworld today in #yvr started incredible as my kiddo got to honk the #skytrain horn on the ride in. Pretty good for his first visit!

I love maintenance free things. My #ebike belt drive and internal gear hub never needs any cleaning, oiling, anything. After almost 3 years of commuting almost every day in #yyj and #saanich. No squeaky or rusty chains, or sketchy shifting. It just works. Awesome! #cargobikelife

I learned the @victoria.ca bike valet at city hall hit their all time single day record with over 370 bikes on Deuce Day Sunday. Kudos to the bike valet team for handling a huge surge. Next time a decicated bike valet on site would be needed for sure! 😀 🚴🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️ #yyj

Big crowds downtown Victoria for Deuce Days #yyj

Years of #ebike commuting in, I still love riding. There's lots of great views you experience while on a bike. I can tell it reduces my stress too because I'm grumpy when I have to commute another way 😜 #cargobikelife #yyj #saanich

Beat the summer heat at the beach! Fit our stuff and a little sun shelter in our cargo bike and parked at a rack steps from the sand. Love shoes like Natives for pedaling and beach walking #cargobikelife #yyj #saanich

Afternoon spring sunshine on the ride home #momentofzen #yyj #cargobikelife #sakura

You don't need expensive gear in the #cargobikelife. For two winters these ankle mud boots got me to work with warm + dry tootsies. Style points are a little low 😉 but I got them for 30$ at Mark's 😃 bonus - they work great in the garden and rainy beach days too! #activetransportation #cargobikes

A shout out to @saanichbc.bsky.social for this bit of new active transportation infrastructure. Flashers and a short multi use trail helps cross an awkward section of busy road. It connects huge Tolmie park to a major bike route. Thank you! #saanich #activetransportation #cycling

On top of this, transportation in sprawl is dominated by single occupancy vehicles - the most emissions intensive, and expensive for everyone. We can have both single family homes, townhomes, condos. But diversity in housing types will help reduce environmental impacts and reduce costs for everyone

Reminder of what happens when cities make it hard to build in core areas. 2016 vs. 2014, same location, greater Victoria. Build up, not out. #urbanism
