“…for no reason besides happiness” 🤨 Since when did the pursuit of happiness become an unworthy reason for doing something? What a bizarre headline!

Since day one (3 years ago) the people of Critical Mass have been nothing but respectful, joyful and most of all, they take no shit. Big shout out to #yycbike and the greater micro-mobility community (roller bladers, skateboarders, and everything in between) for making this event what it is today ❤️

Looks like the sinkholes on 12th Ave are finally getting looked at. The abhorrent lack of detour is back too. #yycbike
Thank you, @criticalmassyyc.bsky.social, for another pleasant and safe urban ride in community.
This:👇 For those who don't know the last Friday of the month is critical mass; a mass bike ride And instead of offering help or an escort, the Calgary Police Service offers threats CPS - you are not the servants of cars & trucks or the UCP's anti bike ideology #ableg #abpoli @natefor8.bsky.social
Matthew the Matticus@matticusssss.bsky.social · 3w agoWe've had more people on foot and bike hit by vehicles than there are days in a year, but this is our focus. My favorite part is how they're trying to simultaneously enforce rules for 3 separate things, as well as just making laws up?? Anyway have fun tonight traveling on a bike!
Rolling into Bike‑A‑Palooza season! Here’s a throwback to last year’s ride - Calgary‑Glenmore at its best and with community. Bring your bike, bring a friend, and let’s walk and ride together #yycglenmore If you haven't already, sign up here: forms.gle/vzKBLSwN3zgs...
