Reposted by Cole 🚲Jacob Loo Dawang @jacobdawang.com · 02/10/2026Get in folks, we're building the missing middle, right here in Edmonton! Small-scale infill (5-8plexes in mature neighbourhoods) is now the single largest source of Edmonton's new housing supply. 22% of all homes permitted this year! 1164
Reposted by Cole 🚲Grow Together Edmonton @growtogetheryeg.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Is infill "destroying" Edmonton's neighbourhoods? Here are the facts: 📊 Only 1% of RS-zoned properties redeveloped since 2024 🏡 Half of new units have 3+ bedrooms 🚇 Density is clustering near LRT 📉 Most mature neighbourhoods have fewer people than 50 years ago #yeg #yegcc #yimby 03713
Cole 🚲 @mapboy.bsky.social · 08/08/2026But I thought Avi was going to "tank the party" as so many neolib shitheads said when he got elected. Wow, what a shocker, if you have a leader with actual progressive positions, people like that! #cdnpoli #abpoli 241
Cole 🚲 @mapboy.bsky.social · 28/07/2026Heads up #yegbike folks, if you're using the 119 Ave. bike lanes, there's a huge downed branch by 94 St. in the lane! That pic was as of 3am last night (July 28th). Lots of small broken branches all over the place too, careful riding out there! 073
Cole 🚲 @mapboy.bsky.social · 24/07/2026I just crossed the 2,000km threshold on my amazing bike from @bikeedmonton.bsky.social that I got just 4 months ago! Here's part 1 of some of my favourite snaps from those journeys. So many new memories and people met that have made my life infinitely better. #yegbike #bikesky 2161
Cole 🚲 @mapboy.bsky.social · 08/07/2026I can't believe we're about to spend $2.5 million more on this shit to save 30ish parking spots cause a dozen residents showed up to protest like fucking babies. The fact that 9 councillors agreed to this is genuinely embarrassing for them all! #yegbike #yegbike #bikesky www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...cbc.caEdmonton council votes to keep parking while building bike lanes along 50th Street | CBC NewsThe bike lane debate in Edmonton switched gears Tuesday as city council agreed to keep some parking spots along 50th street from 102nd Avenue to 109A Avenue while installing new protected bike lanes. 2161
Cole 🚲 @mapboy.bsky.social · 06/07/2026Did a 60km ride deep into Southern Edmonton last night. Got to watch the sunrise, see a coyote, hares, ravens, magpies and skunks along the journey. The sun was beautiful this morning 🌞 #yeg #yegbike #bikesky 1190
Cole 🚲 @mapboy.bsky.social · 02/07/2026I want an apology from every neolib shithead that tried to gaslight me last year that Carney is *totally* not abandoning our climate goals. So many Carney dickriders on here insisted he would never do this and here we are. I'm so glad I didn't vote for this clown 🤡 #cdnpoli #abpoli 020
Cole 🚲 @mapboy.bsky.social · 28/06/2026You can tell a lot about how a city thinks of cyclists by where they allow dumpster bins to be placed. @thecityofedmonton.bsky.social has sadly failed the test. This could've been placed on the road as it's closed behind the bin anyway. Do better Edmonton. @edmontonanne.bsky.social #yegbike #bikesky 2110
Cole 🚲 @mapboy.bsky.social · 27/06/2026This person is either clueless or just living on the edge leaving their car with the windows and sunroof open like this 😂 #yeg 020
Cole 🚲 @mapboy.bsky.social · 16/06/2026Explored out St. Albert's way and they have some stellar multi-use paths along the Sturgeon River (minus a section or two). I'm always poking at the edges of the Henday now seeing what this city has to offer on a bike. So much left to discover just in the North alone! #yeg #yegbike #bikesky 1150
Cole 🚲 @mapboy.bsky.social · 15/06/2026No one had created a Strava community for Central McDougall neighbourhood so I did. Spread it to anyone who is from here like me #yegbike 😊 Can finally get some kilometres in for bike month for the neighbourhood! @yegbike.bsky.social strava.app.link/cfqvcTb0Y3bstrava.app.linkCentral McDougall Community League | StravaLog in to see Central McDougall Community League 0102
Cole 🚲 @mapboy.bsky.social · 07/06/2026Did a 50km bike ride deep into Northern Edmonton. Crossed the Henday and back, watched the storms rolling across the sky, got rained on in the hydro corridor, saw the sun rising the whole time and did my longest ride ever (so far)! A good ride overall I'd say 😍 #yeg #yegbike 0190
Cole 🚲 @mapboy.bsky.social · 26/05/2026"bUt noBoDY rIDeS bIKeS in EdMOnToN" 🤪🤪 For all those comments you'll see floating around, the data completely demolishes this narrative and these counts miss thousands of others in areas that aren't even tracked. #yeg #yegbike #bikesky 0203

Cole 🚲 @mapboy.bsky.social · 20/05/2026Was checking out bike directions a week or so ago, went to streetview near 98 Ave. and turned the camera around to this 😂😂😂 Almost did a full on spit take. A very helpful alien if I do say so myself! #yeg #yegbike 171
Cole 🚲 @mapboy.bsky.social · 20/05/2026I have begun to learn very quickly that "possibility of rain" means it isn't going to rain in Edmonton at all 😆 Is the polar opposite to Hamilton which is an interesting adjustment. #yeg 290
Cole 🚲 @mapboy.bsky.social · 17/05/2026Welp, had to get a new rear bike tire as I didn't keep a close enough eye on my back brake pads. They got slightly too high and shredded the side of my Bontrager Offroad 🫣 Got me a Schwalbe Green Marathon so that should last me hopefully thousands of kilometres. Lesson learned! #bikesky #yegbike 0110
Reposted by Cole 🚲Jacob Loo Dawang @jacobdawang.com · 17/05/2026People use bike lanes in Edmonton! I created a bluesky bot that will (hopefully) post daily counts of people on bikes going by the counters that are on bike lanes. Give it a follow! #YEGBike. 59025
Cole 🚲 @mapboy.bsky.social · 17/05/2026Did a long ride south trying out the MUP on 34 Ave. and holy shit is that area in red depressing. It's literally a car sewer due to the insane amount of car dealerships. Makes the area a shithole and then the intersection at 111 St. on that MUP is an absolute disaster to navigate through. #yegbike 380
Cole 🚲 @mapboy.bsky.social · 16/05/2026CARBON CAPTURE IS NOT A VIABLE METHOD TO FIGHT CLIMATE CHANGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #abpoli #cdnpoli #yeg 072
Cole 🚲 @mapboy.bsky.social · 12/05/2026Finally figured out why all the construction signs were on the 114 Ave. bike lane. They're installing metal? plastic? bike lane barriers now. Seems Edmonton is experimenting with something else that I'm sure totally won't get smashed to bits @ashleysalvador.bsky.social Concrete or nothing. #yegbike 070
Cole 🚲 @mapboy.bsky.social · 12/05/2026This is so laughably stupid it's pathetic. I am so glad I didn't vote for this clown show and voted for my local NDP candidate before leaving my old riding of Hamilton Centre. All the neolibs defending him can fuck right off, you're a bunch of clowns too. #cdnpoli #aislop 180
Cole 🚲 @mapboy.bsky.social · 11/05/2026Heads up #yegbike folk, if you're travelling north or southbound by MacEwan Station, use the MUP on 104th St. as the road has broken glass all over it by the station. Don't want someone getting a flat from that! 0147
Cole 🚲 @mapboy.bsky.social · 11/05/2026Did a long exploration through the north of Edmonton at 1am and it is so beyond carbrained up there it actually shook me to my core. Ironically enough, there is so much potential to make it even more bikeable with just a bit of effort and getting rid of all the slip lane intersections! #yegbike 080
Cole 🚲 @mapboy.bsky.social · 10/05/2026Did a bit more exploring further into the south of Edmonton and oh boy does the bike infrastructure start to fall apart down there. Thankfully it was 4am on a Sunday morning else I'd probably be squished to a pulp by a car with all the highway off ramps 😵 #yeg #yegbike 2130
Cole 🚲 @mapboy.bsky.social · 10/05/2026Overhead from my balcony on 104 St: 4 white teens accosting 2 brown girls saying they "should leave our country, you're stealing all our jobs" as they walk by them just sitting and enjoying their evening in front of their apartment. Disgusting, vile people in this province sometimes. #yeg #abpoli 141
Cole 🚲 @mapboy.bsky.social · 08/05/2026Whatever idiot at @thecityofedmonton.bsky.social who thought putting a million of these hairpin turns into the 106 St. bike lanes should be fired immediately. Absolute design disaster and just asking to injure or kill a cyclist, especially cause this one is directly after an alley exit! #yegbike 11671
Cole 🚲 @mapboy.bsky.social · 06/05/2026These folks in Grovenor can go kick rocks! There is alley access for rear parking on nearly every single house in this area (see screenshot with the yellow highlights)!!! I love how people just go on the news and tell bold-faced lies about everything. #yeg #yegbike #nimbys 5111
Cole 🚲 @mapboy.bsky.social · 05/05/2026Decided to do a 23k ride around exploring some of the northern side (up to the Yellowhead) and back around to my own neighbourhood. Definitely a bit chilly at -2 but still a beautiful ride as the sun rose over the city! #yegbike 090
Cole 🚲 @mapboy.bsky.social · 04/05/2026It's interesting seeing all the different ways cyclists treat the detour around the Wellington Bridge replacement. Some do the city signed detour, I do Connaught Drive, others completely different streets and avenues. Is just fascinating how we all treat it so differently. #yeg #yegbike 1110
Cole 🚲 @mapboy.bsky.social · 02/05/2026It was such a blast experiencing my first major group bike ride ever last night! @yegbike.bsky.social led a fantastic glow ride with beautiful views and so many amazing cycling folks 🚲 I'm so glad to be a part of this growing community now that I live here 😍 #yegbike #glowride 0214
Cole 🚲 @mapboy.bsky.social · 01/05/2026Almost 17 years ago, I was in Edmonton for 4 hours on my way to Grand Prairie. It's kind of wild that I was so close to where I live downtown today! Here's a smattering of photos I took at the time back in July 2009 having just turned 20 before landing. Notice the lack of bike lanes. #yeg #yegbike 1101
Cole 🚲 @mapboy.bsky.social · 01/05/2026Never a dull day in downtown Edmonton, some dummy set a couch on fire by our dumpster bins 🤦♂️ At least it was a small one and the fire department got here lickety split. #yeg 030
Cole 🚲 @mapboy.bsky.social · 30/04/2026I pass by that semi-viral separatist freak house with the large AI slop poster on it every time on my commute home 😂 Talk about embarrassing putting that on the side of your house 😐 #yegbike #abpoli #abseparatism 170
Cole 🚲 @mapboy.bsky.social · 30/04/2026Maybe council should light a fire under the cops ass and threaten their budget for once until they use the half a billion they have already to increase lot capacity or start auctioning off the vehicles! The cops just want new toys though and don't give a crap about the tow lot. #yeg 270
Cole 🚲 @mapboy.bsky.social · 29/04/2026I love that 104 St between 106 & 107 Ave simply won't get street cleaned properly cause every driver is a fucking asshole who can't follow a simple parking ban for a few days!!! 😡 And on top of that the dipshit cops have a full tow lot with their HALF A BILLION DOLLARS of the city budget!!! #yeg 070
Cole 🚲 @mapboy.bsky.social · 28/04/2026The graphic in this article tells you everything you need to know for how farcical this all is. If @andrewknack.bsky.social and the majority of council think this will shut up the loud minority crying about infill, they're sorely mistaken. Also, 20% of units is 200 of every 1000 now affected! #yeg 250
Cole 🚲 @mapboy.bsky.social · 27/04/2026Took a ride out to see the sun rise over the city. Bit crispy temp wise but once I was moving warmed up fast enough. Absolutely gorgeous morning with only a few dicey spots of ice left where I rode. #yegbike 1190
Cole 🚲 @mapboy.bsky.social · 26/04/2026I'm always amused about the caricature of the "tough, strong, independent Albertan" the separatist/right wing freaks portray online. Then you see those very same people in the comment sections being soft little babies about bike lanes, wind, solar, winter, etc, etc. 😂 #abpoli #yeg #yyc 181
Cole 🚲 @mapboy.bsky.social · 25/04/2026The northern wind was quite strong but beyond that, the light snow and lack of cars made for a shockingly peaceful ride this morning. Definitely a chill though so dress appropriately if you're out there today. The sound of the birds was amazing to listen to! #yegbike 0151
Cole 🚲 @mapboy.bsky.social · 24/04/2026And yet, the comment sections for this on every other platform are full of folks living in denial saying we aren't. Make it make sense! I came from Ontario, I can assure everyone here that this city is soooooooo much more affordable than what I left behind. It's literally no contest! #yeg #infill 091
Cole 🚲 @mapboy.bsky.social · 23/04/2026The fact hydrogen is getting so glazed up here in Edmonton and Alberta more broadly is just more O&G propaganda so they can keep on doing the BS they're doing. Hydrogen isn't a viable climate solution for energy and this fantasy that it is, needs to die already. #yeg #yyc #abpoli 2142
Cole 🚲 @mapboy.bsky.social · 21/04/2026Saw this absolutely ignorant comment on Insta by a Re/Max agent (shocker) calling bike lanes "woke" & wider sidewalks something no one uses downtown 🙄 Spoken like an idiot whose office is 15km away from the core. Can't believe we have to live among such stupidity sometimes 🤦♂️ #yeg #yegbike 381

Cole 🚲 @mapboy.bsky.social · 20/04/2026Went on a roundabout through the River Valley and had to walk my bike up a couple hills and a set of stairs. I vastly underestimated some of the hills down there 😆 Also felt like I was in the Blair Witch Project a few times, thank the stars for a decent front light! Worth it for the views 😍 #yegbike 0130
Cole 🚲 @mapboy.bsky.social · 20/04/2026I've become super black pilled against e-scooter programs since moving to Edmonton. I was pretty neutral to Bird in Hamilton but having 3 services, all undocked, is a nightmare. The amount I have to stop and whip them into the grass cause some jackass left it in the middle of a bike lane 🤬 #yegbike 4110
Cole 🚲 @mapboy.bsky.social · 19/04/2026Was just dicking around and did the high level bridge and back. The modal filter that spills out into 112 St & 72 Ave is a nightmare deathtrap though. Needs a bike trigger and proper stop light, not just some flashing bullshit with only a beg button 10ft away at the ped crossing 🤦♂️ #yeg #yegbike 380
Cole 🚲 @mapboy.bsky.social · 17/04/2026"All this infill is monstrous and ruining our perfect little neighbourhood 😡" you'll hear yelled by the loud NIMBYs online in the comments yet reality and data don't even remotely back them up. Wow, what a concept, the loud minority is telling lies 🤥 on the internet! 🤯 #yeg #infillmedia.tenor.comSurprised Pikachu GIFAlt: Surprised Pikachu GIF 171
Cole 🚲 @mapboy.bsky.social · 17/04/2026And the @albertandp.ca has no problem just trucking along as they propose more pipelines 🤦♂️ The ANDP can talk till they're blue in the face about supposedly "cleaner" O&G but it's all lies. Maybe they should have an ACTUAL comprehensive plan to transition to wind/solar + battery storage! #abpoli 131
