Morning! Cup of coffee & #StreetDesign: "Name a challenge that society faces- climate change, equity & racial justice, a cleaner environment, safer & healthier communities, a stronger economy- & streets & mobility stand at the heart of many of the solutions." https://www.planetizen.com/fea/111631-post-pandemic-street

Good morning! This morning we consider the air we breathe: "Now we understand that it’s not just about the ground beneath our feet, but the space around us and the air that we breathe. We need to think in cubic metres, not just square metres." https://www.theguardian.com//two-way-street-how-barcelona-

Good morning! Have you seen the new blog post about Scott Street and the #OttBike #OttWalk and #OttRoll improvements coming in 2021/2022? https://bikeottawa.ca/2020/12/23/scott-street-improvements/

Good morning! Your Christmas morning might be busy? It might be quiet? We don't know, but when you have some downtime, grab a beverage and check this out: Cycling Santas.

We know what you're thinking... "Isn't Lights on Bikes this week"? And in any other year, you would be right. However, this is 2020, so no. Lights on Bikes isn't this week. But that's not to say we haven't been working hard on a 2020 appropriate plan B! Thanks to the continued support of Safer Roads Ottawa, we have hundreds of lights just waiting to be distributed to those who need them, but we need your help!... We are seeking several Light Ambassadors with connections to their local community to facilitate the distribution. Interested? Please apply within!

I’m a volunteer with Bike Ottawa. We’d like to hear your views on 529 Garage program. Is it a useful tool in helping to reduce bike theft, and improving the odds of getting your bike back in the event it is stolen? Is it making a difference? We need to hear from you. Bruce

The memorial of ghost bikes was removed without word or warning, but councillors Jeff Leiper and Catherine McKenney stepped up and put a bike back at the spot to remind the people making decisions about road design and the safety of our streets they need to do better. #VisionZero
