PapyrusBrigadeWith Doug Ford losing his bid to demolish Toronto's bike lanes this week, I make a shirt using a scrap of bike themed fabric I had.I cut it on the bias for stretch, and extended the fabric with some scraps of light blue. The body came together quickly. But after wrestling with how to properly finish the neck and arm holes, I realised I needed to read some actual instructions. The internet is still a pretty good place to learn. The end result is quite comfy. <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Bikestodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Bikestodon</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Sewing</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Making" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Making</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Toronto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Toronto</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Biketo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Biketo</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Cycleto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Cycleto</a>

Cameron MacLeodAnti-cycling politicians & drivers say "put bikes on secondary streets". But what if it's proposed for 6 blocks on a secondary street with enough space for safe cycling infrastructure? Lies about the proposal, lawn signs demanding bike lanes *not* be installed for "safety", and petitions which say making drivers look for pedestrians+cyclists+drivers is too much work.
