July 2025 Newsletter​

Immense gratitude! I am so proud of our community and the incredible response to our Call to Action and the Bike Rally. Hundreds of well-written, personalized letters reached the Mayor and Councillors, and councillors noted how thoughtful and polite they were compared with letters from opponents. The Bike Rally, organized by Steve MacKay and supported by HCC, drew around 350 participants and featured short speeches from multiple perspectives. In this issue, you’ll also find upcoming events to kick off your summer rides, news about our Board of Directors, a review of the Bird micromobility share, Halifax’s slip in the 2025 People for Bikes city rankings, advocacy updates, cycling tips, the launch of the Cycling Guide app, volunteer opportunities, and what we’re reading and watching this month.
