You’re going to see a lot of #SuperBowl ads today for cars and trucks that are being used to intimidate citizens in our cities, pollute our skies, and are responsible for creating the planetary crisis. Watch this one, and imagine a different world.
Or this one.
Choose the e-bike
This is not a bike. It’s the future of transport.
Life is #BetterByBike
Welcome to the fold. Your new e-bike will change your life.

Who's ready for our City Bike preview for 2022? While we're really excited about e-bikes and cargo bikes, there's nothing more practical and efficient than a regular Dutch-style city bicycle. We've scoured the globe to get a very limited stock of bikes, first come, first served! Image
While other Covid-related shortages have more or less gone away, bikes have remained stubbornly scarce. Many of our offerings in 2022 were actually ordered in 2020, and only reaching us now. Supply is tight, and we're doing our best. Image
First up, the Breezer Downtown will be back in our lineup for another season! This is our favourite city bike for a lot of reasons: chromoly steel frame, comfortable geometry, and quality components. It's an easy bike to ride that will last a generation. londonbicyclecafe.com/bike-store/bre…

Here's our big announcement for February! We're welcoming Riese and Müller's fleet of cargo bikes to our shop in 2022! r-m.de/en-ca/bikes/?s… ImageImageImageImage
Here's the link to our February newsletter to get the TL;DR. We're *super* excited to offer this lineup to you, and know that R&M will be amazing when you choose it for your family's next vehicle. londonbicyclecafe.com/campaigns/view…
Why Riese and Müller? It's about great design, that's built to last. R&M's offerings are a step above in terms of craftsmanship, and it only takes a few second on board to understand why. Image

Hey y'all, Ben here. Guess what? Another break-in. Yep, for real, we can't make this up. We'd all been having a lovely long weekend when at around 9pm last night our phones started ringing. Thread. 🧵👇
We had what we believe to be a false alarm on Friday - maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. But last night was our SIXTH break-in since the start of the pandemic.
-
SIX.
We're out of insurance claims, so all of this is out of pocket for us. Again.
There are so many underlying issues with this particular break-in it's hard to know where to start. We have a failure of our social system/supports. We have a failure of our police services to act. And we have a bureaucratic nightmare at City Hall.

So City Staff have come to Cycling Advisory Committee with no protected bike lanes on the table for @DundasPlace. They keep calling it a "detour" but what they're looking for is "last link in the network they've spent all their time and money building without a plan"
It's important to note "cars will be directed to York" is basically hopes and prayers. There will be nothing deterring through traffic on Dundas, which will be busy busy all summer long, especially as we get back to normal. Blocking the entrances wasn't considered feasible.
The other four options are hot steaming garbage. None provide protection of any sort, and all will be used for extra illegal parking. Paint is not infrastructure, QED, none of these options are infrastructure. An "occasional planter" doesn't cut it.

It's #InternationalWomensDay , and we want to do a thread to say thanks to some of the wonderful women who #LdnOntBike and help build a stronger community of citizen cyclists. 👇
First, @JoyBringingHope. Joy is an advocate for people of all ages and abilities riding bikes. She's grown into her role as a leader in our community over the past four years, and we're so thrilled every time she rolls by! Image
Not on Twitter that often anymore is @rhbike. She led so many activities within the city's cycling advisory committee, and helped advocate for people injured walking or cycling. Grateful for her friendship, and hard work. (far left, bike prom, 2019!) Image
