I was stopped at a red light waiting to go straight. The guy in a truck behind me asked if I was willing to move over so he could turn right. I said no. He was... not happy. #YEGbike

So one of the major opposition points to bike lanes in Edmonton & Calgary is...parking. You know what. Park in your garage. Park in your driveway. Park on your fucking lawn. Sell one of your giant assed trucks. The fucking privilege assumed by car culture is incredible.

Beginning Oct. 5, 2026, Albertans must go online & pre-order their seasonal vaccines for the 2027-28 respiratory virus season. Pre-orders for next year will be accepted until Dec. 18. If you don't Alberta won't buy enough doses for the population. This program isn't advertised #abpoli #yyc #yeg #yql

Calgary and Edmonton are just too spread out for public transit? Edmonton pioneered modern LRT in North America. Calgary’s C-Train was the highest ridership LRT among all cities in the US and Canada for 2025, beating out systems in much bigger cities.

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.

My belated #yegdt hot take is that it actually isn't that bad. It has problems, but they're long-running ones that go back decades. Claims that it's broken are very overwrought, and worth a side-eye; it's generally been getting better. And no, it's not because of the hockey thingy. 1/lots w/ maps!

Back to school is a scheduled reminder of how broken our parking enforcement system is. No penalty bc they’re only there a few hrs; the complaint isn’t actioned for 3 days; rinse, repeat. Curb extensions are a solution to stop this, but we just potential waste ticket revenue. #yeg #yegbike #yegwalk

I HATE TELUS. It doesn’t matter how much I pay for internet now. The fact that they have atrocious customer service negates any “deals” they have. You know what I like about my current provider? They don’t hassle me with promos constantly. They have good customer service.
