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.

Earlier this week, a person biking on Hemlock was hit by a driver near the Manor Park Public School.
- Painted bike lanes were blocked after the collision
- No safe detour was provided for people on bikes
Read a parent’s letter to the mayor about this.

The ON government will bypass committee hearings entirely on Bill 60.
This gov. is:
➡️ putting people’s lives at risk
➡️ stripping cities of the power to make their streets safe for people outside cars
We can’t afford to remain silent. Voice your opposition now! 👇

Great turnout at today’s Kidical Mass Ride in Ottawa. Such a joy to see so many children and parents ride worry free on Queen Elizabeth Drive.
You can still have your say on where you’d like to be able to ride, walk or roll safely with your kids.
