Meanwhile, certain councilors on #yyccc are focused on re-litigating past decisions instead of doing their jobs to protect Calgarians from a known - and increasing - harm that we all know how to fix. SLOW DOWN THE CARS.

I’m looking at the incidents for cyclists getting hit by drivers in #yyc. Compared to this time last year there has been a 575% increase in incidents. Keep in mind incidents are a vastly unreported, but this is still alarming. Please stay safe #yycbike.

Happy smoke season

Moral of the story: Don't let a dicey weather forecast alter your fun plans. Overnighter # 1of4 in the bag and not one single drop of rain fell on us. Blue sky arrived before nightfall and held until the last morning coffee was enjoyed and all made it back dry.. Join us this summer! #yycbike

Is killed. By a driver.

Holy shit THEY STOLE MY BIKE TODAY I doubt you'll see it since it was stored serviceable, but if you do see a bicycle with my name on it, TELL ME #yycbike #yyc Reported on @bikeindex.org

I see gas is up again Calgary- $1.89 in my neighbourhood. Bikes are rad! #yycbike #gobybike

A remarkable weekend adventure organized by #yycbike people who the traditional "bike industry" ignores: Folks who ride bikes primarily for transportation. The most wonderful time was had. Thanks for organizing @erininyyc.bsky.social

Had a wonderful weekend bike-packing with many Calgary bike friends. I’m new to it, with lots learned over the weekend, but wow, it’s at rhythm in which I thrive and an immensely gratifying experience already. Last photo by E. Mann.

Bike friends are the best friends

My neighbourhood thinks I'm pretty neat. I'm grateful for this recognition on #IWD2026. As a trans person, every instance of affirmation, being seen and accepted by the communities in which I'm engaged, matters deeply. www.evexperience.com/blog/2026/3/...

Have the police considered the stupid fucking height of the vehicle in question

Road violence is a political choice. How much carnage will our leaders tolerate before they take drastic action? www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Gift Link. 🎁 Instead of buying a second or third car -> buy a top quality electric bike or electric cargo bike. You'll save so much money and have fun doing it. You might even start to see how stupidly designed our cities are. www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/b86a88d...

Canadians are ‘hitting a breaking point’ when it comes to the cost of insuring their vehicles

Some are forgoing buying a second car, driving their cars longer, or choosing to drive less expensive ones to insure

I finally got around to emailing council to remind them that car ownership costs average people over $700,000 over their working life. #bikehfx and transit are huge affordability measures

Awesome weather for #winterbikedayyyc2026 - so many people out riding for Bike Bingo! Thanks so much @bikecalgary.bsky.social 💞🚲 #yycbike

Toddler killed after being struck by vehicle in southwest Calgary crosswalk calgaryherald.com/news/toddler...

I miss the Alberta I moved to.

"When I look back [...], I hope I can say[...]: I understood the problem, & I embodied the change I wanted to see. I stayed. I helped. I did something positive with the time I was given." This is the essence of one of my "ins" this year: leaning into showing up to create the village that I want.

why do you do what you do? #bikeshoplife

Bright sunshiney day, amazing coffee, a library and a bookstore stop - Mondays hit different these days 💕

Community is so underrated in general IMO. People are out here wondering why they feel lonely, why they feel parenting young children is hard, etc etc. It's lack of community. @kmadmclean.bsky.social & I talk about this at least once a week.

I’d change the order, and would add cost savings Freedom Cost Savings Mental wellbeing Community Cities Health Ageing Climate

Sadly, the people that really should read this (major bike brand leadership) and take some time to understand it, likely won't. And they'll wonder at their next board meeting why sales haven't really improved in the last 20 years. #bikeshoplike substack.com/home/post/p-...

Thank you to everyone who joined our reservoir loop after dark. Happy autumn riding. 🚲🌙✨🍂

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.
