Bikeology Guild of CanadaIt's #EqualPayDay for 🇺🇸 ♀️ . https://www.npr.org/2026/03/26/nx-s1-5758090/equal-pay-day-gender-wage-gap
In 🇨🇦 it's Apr 14: https://equalpaycoalition.org/
The gender pay gap is an intentional form of discrimination against women. It's a sign of the value placed on women’s work & time. GPGs perpetuate gender inequality. GI is the root cause for gender-based violence. Gender inequality & GBV impacts women in work & in #cycling -whether via #UrbanPlanning, #micromobility, #snowclearing or #sports.
🇨🇦 = 28th
🇮🇸 = 1st
🇺🇸 = 37th

Kit BashirA rant about electric bicycles:
* For e-bikes to be viable car replacements they need cargo-carrying and hill-climb capacity. The practicality test for an e-bike is to carry four bags of grocieries, or a child.
* The 250W and 20km/h limit for unlicensed bicycles is *far* too low. Human cyclists comfortably exceed this in both power and speed leading to e-bikes holding up traffic. When. I ride the bikeways, human-powered traffic cruises at around 35 km/h.
* The "you must pedal or the motor stops" requirement is some Calvinist bullshit.
* The perl-clutching "but the children" scare in the news about "unlicensed motorbikes" HAS to be some kind of car-industry astroturfing. From what I can see on the bikeways, commuter e-bikes and scooters are HOT items and anyone with a head can see a dent in vehicle sales coming. Users LOVE this emerging mobility sector.
* I work in an industrial area with zero public transport service. I observe large numbers of workers riding scooters in the direction of the nearest train station.
* If governments *really* want to stick to the 250w 25km/h bullshit for "bicycles" then we need URGENT legislation to create a vehicle class for say 1000W 45km/h vehicles. The Australia post electric delivery tricycles are a worked example of the practicality of this class; I don't hear *anyone* having a meltdown about "dangerous monster tricycles on our footpaths".
