Bike Ottawa Pivots a Bit

With the social media landscape evolving and people scattering across platforms, and new sites proliferating, it seems like a good time to return to our website roots and use this blog more often. We hope to post 2-3 times a week and then share the posts more widely on Bike Ottawa’s various social media accounts. We would love them to be a mix of ideas on how to make active transportation safer for everyone, pointing out problems with existing infrastructure, and just sharing the pure joy of being on a bike.

To do that, we need your help. If you have an idea for a blog post, or just want to share something with us to post, please send an email to blog@bikeottawa.ca. Articles, links, photos, microblogs and full blog posts are all welcome.
