Meanwhile, certain councilors on #yyccc are focused on re-litigating past decisions instead of doing their jobs to protect Calgarians from a known - and increasing - harm that we all know how to fix. SLOW DOWN THE CARS.

Moral of the story: Don't let a dicey weather forecast alter your fun plans. Overnighter # 1of4 in the bag and not one single drop of rain fell on us. Blue sky arrived before nightfall and held until the last morning coffee was enjoyed and all made it back dry.. Join us this summer! #yycbike

A remarkable weekend adventure organized by #yycbike people who the traditional "bike industry" ignores: Folks who ride bikes primarily for transportation. The most wonderful time was had. Thanks for organizing @erininyyc.bsky.social

Gift Link. 🎁 Instead of buying a second or third car -> buy a top quality electric bike or electric cargo bike. You'll save so much money and have fun doing it. You might even start to see how stupidly designed our cities are. www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/b86a88d...

Canadians are ‘hitting a breaking point’ when it comes to the cost of insuring their vehicles
Some are forgoing buying a second car, driving their cars longer, or choosing to drive less expensive ones to insure

Community is so underrated in general IMO. People are out here wondering why they feel lonely, why they feel parenting young children is hard, etc etc. It's lack of community. @kmadmclean.bsky.social & I talk about this at least once a week.

Sadly, the people that really should read this (major bike brand leadership) and take some time to understand it, likely won't. And they'll wonder at their next board meeting why sales haven't really improved in the last 20 years. #bikeshoplike substack.com/home/post/p-...

Now put that half a pack a day on a whole city like #YYC breathing hundreds more smoke hours per year then ask what the health costs will be for that population over a lifetime & understand: you are owed no small amount of money by some of the richest people on the planet #SueBigOil #abpoli #cdnpoli

I have spent three whole days in Montreal and holy smokes Calgary could be soooo much better. An incredibly functional and connected system, well graded, contra painted lines on one ways, so many car-free spaces, and so many people using them. I have possibly seen more bikes than cars. 🚲🚶‍♀️

Motorist and pedestrian collisions and fatalities are at an 11-year high in Calgary (pedestrian deaths were up by 225% year-over-year in 2024). It’s not inevitable, doesn’t have to be this way.

I often find myself along the Memorial adjacent pathways at commute time, and it’s so easy to feel like everyone in this city drives. Today I found myself sitting near the Prince’s Island bridge at 4:45 so I counted bikes for three minutes. 21 people on wheels. More on foot. Not bad Calg #yycbike
