I was honoured to participate in the latest @BikeMinds online presentation, Kids + Bikes! I shared how my family of five made the transition from the SUV lifestyle to cycling all over Toronto, saving time, money, stress, and about 7,000kg of CO2 emissions in the process. If you missed the live show, check out the recording, with @McCueChris and Emily’s 200km bike trip through France; Celine’s nomad family, citizens of the world and travellers by bike; and @Cecile_Lecoq's son’s transition to riding independently.

The International Women’s Day Ride encourages us to use our voices with the bicycle as a medium for equity, unity and change. We ride for inclusion & equality for all!

Eleven years ago I told my husband that I was pregnant with our third child. “Wow,” he said. “We’re going to need a bigger car.” Our society told us that families should carry their kids around in the biggest, most protected motor vehicle they could afford. Everyone we saw drove around in huge metal boxes. So that’s what we got - a 7-seater SUV, plenty of room for our kids and the carpools I imagined.
