It’s time for bike share in Ottawa!

Our transit system is in crisis and our roads are congested. Bike share can help! A quarter of trips in Ottawa are under 2 km—well within bikeable range. Bike share is affordable, accessible, and efficient.

To celebrate #Ottawa200, we have a special discovery, a long‑lost “recording” of Colonel John By himself, captured circa 1830s during the construction of the Rideau Canal. You will hear him make some uncanny predictions about #OttCity's future. How accurate do you think he was? #AprilFools

#Apple’s #weather forecast is increasingly atrocious. Last week, only 4-5 days ago, it predicted 37-45 cm of snow for coming Friday in #Ottawa, now it is forecasting +22C for that same day. I always assumed these apps all pull data from the same database. Meanwhile Environment Canada predicts 6C and rain. #ottcity
