Can you get onto 142nd St. still from Ravine Drive?

I think someone mixed up the bike lane size stop sign and the regular one 😂

Everything on the chopping block now to accommodate said parking and the fear of the province stepping in. It's a lot of stuff that may never see the light of day. Good job on Vision Zero @thecityofedmonton.bsky.social, I'm sure this will help!! #yegbike #bikesky

All of the ATNE for the City of Edmonton around Capilano and Bonnie Doon. All the bike infrastructure is now delayed forever or due for major changes.

The Glenora and Jasper Place areas see their ATNE lanes mostly cut forever potentially.

And 64 St. has now also been put on hold potentially forever.

This photo shows you just how insane it is that cars get that many lanes in the core of all places. 2 of those should be bus only lanes right off the bat, add a dual bike lane and you've got a hella good Jasper at that point.

But 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

"But what about the little old ladies, the disabled, emergency vehicles, nobody cycles in Edmonton, it's 8 months of winter, it's too far, it causes congestion, they don't pay taxes, cyclists constantly break the law, this is the bike lobbys work" I'm sure would be the comments on Facebook 😂

I've been watching it get built at a snails pace every time I pass it on my commute to and from work. Shocking as it's such a relatively simple connection that should've been built in like a week or so, give or take.

I swear drivers in Edmonton are allergic to using their directionals. So many times I roll up to a stop only to see a blinker flip on mid-turn. Thanks buddy!

I'm pretty sure that YEG and Edmonton account also run those other scummy clickbait farms like Northly, YEGWave and UrbaEdmonton. If not the same person they certainly style themselves the same way and all of these accounts report on the same ragebait stories constantly.

Heads 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!

I'm sure you'll see my large beard flapping in the wind one of these days 😂 I just work nights currently so I see the city at a different time of day which has been nice to experience!

I 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

Peace Avenue! Since landing here as a new Edmontonian just at the end of 2025, they were the group I decided to give a go as soon as I got a bike. Amazing group to ride with and full of a diverse mix of cyclists!

They're clearly incompetent/ignorant or both. They should be crowing about bringing back "Municipal Freedom" or something along those lines. Don't even need to mention bike lanes, just say we want to give cities the freedom to govern how they choose. Can't even bring themselves to do that much.

Cole 🚲 @mapboy.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

Oh, we're FUCKED fucked then, good grief 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

000

You're probably not wrong sadly which makes it all the more sad. This was at tender and ready to go and bam, council screws it up instead of sticking to their guns. Just disappointing all around.

030

Is also annoying that 9 of those same councillors are about to waste $2.5 million more on the 50th St. bike lane to save some 30ish parking spots cause a dozen people bitched enough with a small protest. We should be plowing ahead with safe infrastructure not capitulating for nonsense like this 🤦‍♂️

Edmonton council votes to keep parking while building bike lanes along 50th Street | CBC News

I 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/...

The 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.

Cole 🚲 @mapboy.bsky.social · 06/07/2026

The biggest piss off is this was some sort of "win-win" yet every headline today is "50th St. Bike Lane Paused/Cancelled". Great job council! You just gave the blueprint to every other NIMBY dickhead to use against any bike lane they don't like in the future!

Did 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

I 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

No way, that's depressing 😭

The fact you couldn't be bothered to get one of the hundreds of photos of the ACTUAL Valley Line and resorted to AI slop is genuinely embarrassing. Wanna talk about Edmonton, maybe show the real LRT lines instead of this trash.

You 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

A large red dumpster bin completely blocking a bike lane adjacent to Churchill Square in Edmonton. It should be noted, this is right beside City Hall which makes it all the more stupid it was allowed to happen. It's nighttime in the shot and you can see lights on in a building in the background.

This person is either clueless or just living on the edge leaving their car with the windows and sunroof open like this 😂 #yeg

That'll be months I'm sure 😭 People are so bad in that section cause *shocker* paint isn't protection 🤯

Cole 🚲 @mapboy.bsky.social · 16/06/2026

I have now 😆 I've got quite a few other routes vaguely planned in my head for all over the city. I just kind of look at Google Maps with satellite view on, double check stuff I've never tried and just go for it. Sometimes I get lost but that's half the fun 😊

Cole 🚲 @mapboy.bsky.social · 16/06/2026

Explored 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

It also needs to be STRONG infrastructure changes and not pussyfooting around with cheap bumpout barriers, modal filters which don't actually filter cars and a severe lack of raised crossings! Raised crossings, advanced ped lights, no turns on red, more scrambles, proper bumpouts! Gimme, gimme!

Did 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

The irony of them using Edmonton at the end when we're probably the ones who want to leave Canada the least in this province.

Cole 🚲 @mapboy.bsky.social · 29/05/2026

It's also got a bunch of nasty potholes still in the road that haven't been filled at all yet 😭

"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

Was 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

I've got one in my "in case of emergency" bag too, cause ya never know.

While they're in the area, they could fix up 100 Ave. too as it's in a sad state along the promenade.

I 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
