I had such an amazing time riding a Brompton for the first time. It's such a light bike, I didn't get as tired as when I did this loop with my bike. Thank you everyone for the amazing ride, conversations, and company 🚲

The problem with riding bikes is that a lot of the time when you’re not riding bikes, you’re just thinking, “Fuck, I’d rather be riding bikes than the bullshit that I’m currently doing.”

Rang my bell aggressively for a man driving a car (aka legalized killing machines) to STOP on 5th St SW before turning left on 10 Ave SW, as there was a cyclist going straight. A guy said "these bike lanes are so dangerous". But it's not true. IT'S F** CARS TURNING WHEN PEOPLE ARE CROSSING.

On a similar note: I started climbing because I was super scared of heights! I mean, ridiculously scared. Guess who's now started climbing beyond intermediate routes and is not that much afraid of heights? 🙋‍♀️ Doing things that I'm scared of has become my hobby 🤓

I am scared about my next steps. I will join a whole new industry. I wont' work remotely anymore. It will be so different! And yet, that all makes me excited. I am ready to see what I will find out on the other side. www.stefannibrasil.me/posts/notes/...

Nobody bikes in the winter? Hold my handlebars! Commuting in the winter, as with any transportation mode, can be challenging. But that doesn't stop thousands of cyclists from cycling year-round. Check out our 2nd video of "How do you move, Calgary?" #yycbike www.youtube.com/shorts/pCnk5...

"it is recommended that the CTrain free fare zone be eliminated “to reduce disorderly behaviour and improve perceptions of safety.” Wow, Calgary knows how to end disorder and make a city's downtown safe with a single decision! Someone please indicate us for a Nobel prize, it's an astonishing feat.

the CTrain free fare zone is one of the nicest things we have in Calgary. The numbers from the recent survey are pretty clear: people use it, they like it, and they want it to be expanded. City Hall should just listen to what people want.📣
