Current status: watching a bicycle infrastructure ribbon cutting in Colwood. #yyj #yyjbike #BikeTooter #victoriaBC

We took a ride along the new Tolmie Avenue protected bike lane in Victoria, BC with cherry blossoms in bloom.

This links the Galloping Goose Regional Trail with the Graham-Jackson bicycle boulevard and connects residential streets with a commercial area. #yyjbike #biketooter #victoriabc #bikelanes

2/3 some people who don't ride in downtown #VictoriaBC much are not aware of how *slow* many people on bikes are when the weather is good. Speeds below 15 km/hr are common for children and adults on acoustic bikes. At busy times the flow on downtown bike lanes is commonly around 20 km/hr. #yyjbike

The car brains on reddit /r/VictoriaBC/ don't seem to know how to do an internet search. Claiming mobility scooters "travel like 3-5km/h" etc. First full size mobility scooter I clicked on has top speed of 18km/h. People on acoustic bikes commonly go 10-15km/h. Research is good! #yyj #yyjbike

A new protected bike lane on Dallas Road in Victoria, BC! This video also shows how to connect to the Ross Bay Seawall and Clover Point for great views of the Salish Sea and Olympic Mountains. #yyjbike #biketooter #victoriabc #bikelanes

Two examples of good design and one example of bad design: Wheel/curb stops and bollards help prevent vehicle overhang and keep pathways safe and clear. The last photo shows what happens when they’re missing. #SafeStreets #biketooter #yyjbike #victoriabc #AccessibleStreets
