iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I’ve always been of the mindset that we should buy the best, longest use item within our budget. For me, that meant the UA. I try to avoid disposable as mich as possible and that included our bike purchases.

I had an old outdoor mat that I cut the corners on and put in ours. I actually just got rid of it and will need something else. I was thinking I might see if I can find some fake grass on marketplace

Magic Bags definitely work for us. Costco used to have heated stadium seats that I thought about trying but I’m cheap and I didn’t want to spend $50 on a heated seat that may or may not work.

The girls need new ones this year! I’ll have to check it out😀

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.

Now that they are older, a ski helmet and gloves, goggles if it’s really cold. They are happy to ride most of the year so I try to make it as easy of a choice as possible

We are in Calgary. My temp cut off is -15c but lots bike beyond that. The urban arrow rain cover is great for winter riding. When my kids were little I would give them a Magic Bag just to heat up the air a bit, beyond that their regular winter clothing was pretty much all they needed.

Driving to your community playground is crazy to me but so many people do. I love getting to a playground with lots of bikes though. Tuxedo Park playground and Rotary Park almost always has bikes at it

I’ve started leaving them in the street parking with the speaker going off because I’m moving them but haven’t paid for them.

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

@criticalmassyyc.bsky.social bubbles and music was a big hit with the kids last night.

Density allows my inner city children independence without having to leave the community they know. Want to go to a comic store? Cross the street. Want to go to the record store? It’s a 5 min bike ride. Want to get candy? It’s a 1 minute walk. Want to go to 5 playground? 5 min walk any direction

“Dreeshen pointed to pathways off of roads as well as LRT routes as examples of where bike lanes can make sense.” This shows me he fundamentally looks at biking differently than I do, I want connected routes to common locations, he is ok with rec bike paths that lead no where in a community

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!

I was thinking similar - you have to enter a concern and I would they will ignore comments and just site the concerns

L @lisas.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

I was thinking Business/residential access concerns Like I’m concerned about the amount of cars on the road and parked making it difficult for me to bike to businesses to spend all the money I don’t spend on gas.

I dropped the bike when I was completely standing still at a light. I don’t what I was thinking- obviously not about holding the bike up. The kids were fine and thought I was being silly

@whoalansi.bsky.social thanks for another great ride! Love seeing all the #yycbike kids getting together!

My children and I have made so many community friends this way and now when they are riding to the playground on their own I get messages from the bike community letting me know they saw the girls and they were safe or they locked up their bikes. It’s been a great experience!

It all seems very dramatic. I just read the city’s comments on the cancellation and they seemed quite surprised by it.

That moment when you see a mangled bicycle and the road you regularly ride is closed. Hoping everyone is ok.

When my husband was diagnosed the comments fed into the “what if’s” that kept us both up at night. And now, even after death people still have the nerve to say stupid things like “maybe you should have tried the pomegranate detox” like that would have miraculously cured a rare form of a rare cancer.

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 commented on this last weekend. We were sitting outside eating our ice cream, I was fascinated by the number of adults who drove up, bought a cone and sat in their car and ate it alone or with others. In my mind, this is a stop on walk/bike ride to be enjoyed in the sun! bsky.app/profile/lisa...

This is why I always leave them offerings of shiny things and meat.

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.

Crescent Heights is one of the more denser communities in the city with approx 3- 4000/sq km and considering that we are only about 1.6 sq km that would be a lot of vehicles to keep track of.

I’m not sure how I would tell if the driver is a community member or not unless driving a very unique vehicle.

This one hits close to home as a Crescent Heights parent.
