If our elected officials cared about the safety of people outside of cars, starting with our kids, we wouldn’t need crossing guards. Our streets would be safe regardless of human error.
But here we are. A crossing guard lost their life on duty. We should all be outraged. 1/3

What better thing to do on a Sunday afternoon than ride in a snow storm, do some board media training and ride home on snowy roads. ❄️
Always good to learn how to better communicate and get our point across. 🎤

Women changing cities
Happy to see women recognized for their expertise, advocacy and meaningful contributions towards better cities.
Proud of our own Cassie Smith, VP and founder of Kidical Mass Ottawa.
Also hats off to Koko Agborsangaya (Black Girls Biking Ottawa) and Jill Wiggle (CAWI) in Ottawa. And a wink to Rebecca Denley in Yellowknife whom we had the pleasure to meet last year.
Thank you all for what you do.

On February 26, 2026, Bike Ottawa delegated at the Public Works and Infrastructure Committee on the topic or right turns on red (link to video in the post). We encourage you to watch all the other delegations who had compelling arguments, data, and personal stories.

As people outside of cars, we’ve all been at the receiving end of right turns on red. How many near misses have you experienced or witnessed? Yet City staff recommends against a blanket ban of right on reds. Oppose their recommendation. Take action now! 👇

Les politiques de déneigement désavantagent-elles certains plus que d’autres? Certainement. Elles sont étroitement liées à l’équité en matière de déplacement. Écoutez. 👇
Does snow clearing prioritize some people over others? Have a listen (in French)
