Hi, do you bike with kids on a cargo/family bike in the winter? I’d love to update my winter bike clothing guide to mention this but don’t have kids, so I’m soliciting help! Please let me know if you’d be willing to provide some perspective/experience and I’m happy to credit you on the guide.

Maybe Alberta’s streets aren’t just for driving fast, and parking private property? Maybe they’re also for kids and parents to feel safe moving about where they live and not forced to use a vehicle? #Calgary #Edmonton #yycBike #yegBike

If you're out there today ride safe. If you're delivering food by bike and need a N95 mask, we got a ton of free ones, so come by the Biking Lawyer LLP office at 158 Sterling Rd. Suite 703. This applies to all our @thebikebrigade friends out delivering food to our neighbours in need today too!

City needs to make changes to ensure cyclists are safe in sharing the road with vehicles

We had over 100 people (60+ kids) join us for Bike Bus on Wednesday morning, including the Mayor & @mykeatkinson. This safer experience for our kids wouldn't be possible without the immense effort from volunteers. We want safer streets! Child friendly urban planning benefits everyone!

I desperately wish I caught a video - the crows on my street have joined the war on cars. This morning I watched a crow drop rocks from a tree and cackle like a tiny goth supervillain when a windshield spiderwebbed on impact. It was fascinating to watch.

Our first time checking out the Sheep River today. These two did great- even twin A who only likes going down hill and was very incredibly angry at the mountains for all being uphill. We saw no sheep, 5 deer, a burrowing owl (!!!), a Great Horned owl and one tick 😬. We also dodged 16 piles of 💩

In 24 hours, on a quiet two-block stretch with four-way stops at each intersection, my children, on their bikes, had a driver honk at them the entire way, and another pass so close they could have reached out and touched the car. All for the sake of rushing to the next 4 way stop.

When you have an irresponsible parent who doesn’t pack gloves for our bike ride, the children get to stop at fun cafes to warm their little fingers.

Taking all my parenting advice from Ol’ Dirty Bastard. Unedited hip hop and F-bombs at breakfast? 100% ok. Being mean to your sister? Absolutely not.
A black and yellow sign that reads: “Dear Parents: We will be playing unedited hip hop all day. Due to the nature of the music, there may be language which may offend you or your kids. Unless, of course, you take parenting advice from Ol’ Dirty Bastard, in which case — Wu-Tang is for the children.” A Wu-Tang logo appears at the bottom

We made it out for one last 2025 BVP ride. The 7s (they are 7 now!!) did spectacular as always and used their birthday money to purchase Johnston Canyon goats. 6 hours, 50 km, a few tears, lots of smiles, and now an exhausted family.

If you need a ladder to get in, maybe it’s too tall to be sharing the road with kids
A large lifted pickup truck is parked on a residential street. Two young children wearing helmets stand directly in front of the truck, but their small size makes it clear how easily they could be hidden from the driver’s view.

Somehow we have gone from toddlers riding in the urban arrow to independent riders and I’m not sure how I feel about it. I am so proud of how independent these two are and I love all that them riding brings but I am still struggling with the fact that they don’t want to ride in the UA anymore.

It’s ok to kill people with your car as long as you stick around and let the police know you are the one who did it. You won’t be in trouble or anything, the police just need a name to attach to the report.
