Why do Winnipeg hospitals put bike parking adjacent to the smoking section? St Boniface . Seven Oaks. Do they want me to get cancer so they have more patients? @wpgbikeracks.bsky.social

I have long said that this type of simulation should be a mandatory part of our drivers exam.

Why you need a bike trailer! How else would I have ever gotten this awesome free cat stand from my local Buy Nothing Group home! It would not have fit in my small car, and I brought it right to my back door.

Hey lic LBK 305, lady driving. When a person is at a marked crosswalk with their arm out, the right thing to do is stop, not drive in front of them and try to kill them. @atcritic.bsky.social

The weather warnings . Four in last half hour. 538, 543, 6, 603pm On my local TV. The first one felt like a warning. By the fourth….

Very interesting. Since power lines are often located along railway lines, one would not think the power has to be transported far from the track.

Chief Peguis AT trail was plowed after recent snowfall, but the access sidewalk to get to it at Rothesay was not. There was no way my trike could get there. Limiting access points to Henderson & Gateway, which are 2 miles apart is not good enough @cityofwinnipeg.bsky.social @atcritic.bsky.social

Wow BC is staying on permanent DST! Meanwhile Saskatchewan stays on permanent Standard time. I had been rooting for permanent standard time for all. If Manitoba gets permanent DST I will just wait and get up with the sun in the winter.

I was all excited to post I finally found a road (Pentland in NK) where the sidewalk was plowed better than the street! But alas at Fortier I unexpectedly hit a pit deeper than my boot. Can you imagine if the road suddenly dropped 8 inches . #hazard @cityofwinnipeg.bsky.social @atcritic.bsky.social

The front basket of a trike riding on the flat sidewalk because the road on the left is very uneven, bumpy and mushy with snow.

A huge pit in sidewalk due to excessive packed snow.

A boot on the sidewalk showing the depth of packed snow is higher than the boot. The snow has been cleared up to that point only, leaving an unsafe drop in sidewalk.

When citizens got out shovels to clear bike lanes in Winnipeg last year, instead of a thanks from the City, they were threatened that they were a safety risk and needed to leave.

Having the bestest day doing errands and getting in kms for the #JackFrostChallenge @greenactioncentre.bsky.social with my etrike! @hiebzky.bsky.social Those wolves are my favourite photo stop! @bikeweekwpg.bsky.social @bikewinnipeg.bsky.social Every day on the trike is a great day!

. @sundance.bikesky.social I need some help. I am trying to determine if my front axle is 9 or 10mm for an e kit I am ordering. A 10mm socket fits over it but seems loose. A 9 mm socket does not fit over it.

Urban Design Fail. Land levels are higher than sidewalk so water from downspout drains (directly or indirectly) to sidewalk. Then it freezes & we have an icy section like this at almost every house. Slush now, very difficult to navigate when frozen. @cityofwinnipeg.bsky.social #ActiveTransportation

A slushy section of sidewalk with foot prints. When it freezes it will be difficult to navigate.

Unless it is for medical reasons, there should be a fine for stepping down before your Parliament or Legislative terms ends. The fine could be equal to the cost of a by election.

We need a shallower canal instead of our rivers for skating. We would have such a long season of skating! #Winnipeg Thanks for sharing #Calgary

Pioneers Pass is ready for take off! Thanks @cityofwinnipeg.bsky.social for the excellent snow clearing job on NorthEast Pioneers Greenway. It made my 13 km of errands today so much easier and more enjoyable. & One less car on the road creating traffic and collisions. #bike #trike #etrike

My wish for 2026 is more km of protected bike lanes. Most especially on the routes I most use. Would love to be able to go 2 or 5 km to the store without having to worry and fear I will get hit. Imagine a life where you can commute by choice without fear of loss of life or injury.

Sidewalks on Rothesay were plowed quite well, except for mounds piled at intersections. So yeah I moved to running on the road to get groceries home. @cityofwinnipeg.bsky.social

Sidewalk in distance with well plowed sidewalk. A running cart with groceries and toilet paper is stopped by snow piled up at intersection blocking route.

Does @cityofwinnipeg.bsky.social not plow P1 sidewalks north of Bonner on Henderson? #ActiveTransportstion #InactiveTransportation. Yesterday sidewalks were not plowed north of Bonner, plus huge mounds of snow at intersections blocking access to unplowed sidewalk.

A running cart tilted at 45 degrees in an attempt to get it over the mound of snow pushed to block access to the sidewalk at the intersection.

I love seeing these videos, but also depressing to see how poorly my city compares. But @bikewinnipeg.bsky.social is working hard to get improvements made.

I have done several errands with my e trike over the past three days. Everywhere that I went, someone started a conversation with me about it. If you want to keep up social connections, ride around on a cool trike! @bikewinnipeg.bsky.social @carlafrancome.bsky.social

Have decided to keep myself on a permanent wake cycle, no more time changes for me! SO, my absolute wake up time remains the same year round, but on a relative clock, I will get up up one hour earlier for four months in winter. Will report again in four months. #StandardTime My cats will be happy.

Recurring monthly donations via our Ko-fi are super helpful, but honestly what would make the most impact is if folks who were able to spend even a few hours a week volunteering with their local shelters to do TNR in their area. There are cats *everywhere* and TNR is the best way to help directly.
