My bike commute, both ways, is less than 8 km in total. Today I got cut off 3 times by People in Vehicles making right turns. Don't mean to be dramatic, but 3 seconds shaved off your drive could mean a broken arm or head injury for me. // London Cycle Link WATS-Western Active Transportation Society London Bicycle Café

#ColborneBikeLane update: there's a mess of gravel in the bike lane between Princess and Central, on the east side. Be careful! // London Cycle Link WATS-Western Active Transportation Society London Bicycle Café City of London

🚦🚲🚙Infrared sensors have been installed in the Sunset Street and University Drive intersection. The technology detects approaching bicycles and other vehicles and triggers the traffic lights to change - often in seconds. Western University WATS-Western Active Transportation Society


Warning from the north-bound #ColborneBikeLane: there's broken glass on both sides of the lane between Dundas and Queens. City of London London Cycle Link WATS-Western Active Transportation Society London Bicycle Café

Could FacilitiesManagement comment on this closure? Information on how long it will be in place and any detour options would be appreciated. Thanks!

Thank you King's at Western for the new bike rack! I loved the pole, but it was a bit crowded for two bikes. 🚲🚲 // WATS-Western Active Transportation Society London Cycle Link London Bicycle Café

I am so grateful for the #TVP, which gives me a mostly car-free bike commute from NE #LdnOnt, crossing the river 4 times and emerging to this iconic view of Western University. #ActiveTransit


Can’t stop “stairing” at the new #upthehill access and views Western University! 💜 #almostdone #stepbystep FacilitiesManagement




A missing glass panel and a lonesome wheel. I think we just had our first theft at the Western University bike shelter. Note, there is usually an unlocked bike in this spot. Please don’t tempt the thieves.


Well, that has to be the warmest #WinterBikeToWorkDay ever... While a pleasant ride, the spring-like conditions just reinforce the need for #ClimateAction - ditch your car and jump on a bike whenever you can Western University WATS-Western Active Transportation Society


Design of bike lines should be decided locally, and follow needs and evidence-based design. More bikes means less congestion, Mr. Ford! Oppose Province-Wide the Bike Lane Ban chng.it/LvPJnnv5 via Change.org Canada
