If you think the average person can be trusted with even the tiniest amount of power, then you obviously haven’t seen how people drive.

A little something for all you LaneSaber and bicycle safety fans! This video shows how easy it is to reach and deploy when you need additional safety. BONUS: Included are some driver “testimonials” showing I’m not blocking them, just slowing down and lowering road stress.

WHAT'S UP KELOWNA OPEN STREET

Someone running a radio show reached out to me to see if I knew of any Alberta-based blue-green alliance (unions and environmental groups) or union leaders who oppose the Grassy Mountain mine and might be willing to talk about it. Does that sound like anyone on this app?

Also, why can people just buy a vehicle that has a death rate DOUBLE the average for people outside their vehicle. I feel like very large trucks need some regulations so people driving them in the city prove a special requirement to have it and special abilty to drive it safely around other.

This is the Calgary Ward 12 map of all the on-street bike lanes marked in purple. If you can’t see any, that’s because there are none.🤷‍♂️ So why is the councillor for this ward concerned about bike lanes? 🤔 #Calgary #yycbike

In case @bigtimeyyc.bsky.social hasn't posted about it, the CPKC #yycbike #yycwalk crossing at 16th ave NE is closed for repair. Long way around to 32nd Ave!

I changed my mind about wanting a pathway between Calgary and Airdrie. THERE SHOULD BE THREE!!

🚨🚧 Construction is anticipated to begin soon! The phasing plan and impacts will be shared on the project page, where you can also sign up for their newsletter to receive regular updates: 🔗 calgary.ca/26ave #calgary #yyc /1

Everyday another (international) embarrassment #yycbike

Alberta’s Bike Lane “Snitch Line” Targets Cycling, Advocates Say It’s Time to Speak Up. momentummag.com/alberta-bike...

👆When you read this story it tells you that Alberta’s UCP government position to remove safe bicycle infrastructure is really a position stating it’s okay if people die on Alberta streets, including children. And if you support their UCP, you are also saying it’s ok. #Alberta #Calgary #Edmonton

I've got some time, I might need to write a nice email & maximize the possible attachments to what @markusoff.bsky.social has now called (love it, btw) Alberta's "Barbaric Urban Bicycle Lanes Tip Line". 🤣🚲 My MLA, @jceci.bsky.social is a cyclist, so he may a word or 5000 for Dreeshen, too.

There is an email reportabikelane@gov.ab.ca (I really thought this email was a joke when I saw someone share it).

My email sent to reportabikelane@gov.ab.ca 🤨 #yycbike #firetheucp

Email reportabikelane@gov.ab.ca you bike lanes concerns. #yycbike #yegbike

LOL this some serious bullshit (the comments and attachment fields are optional)

And so it begins... well done, even the URL is some serious gaslighting #yycbike

If you've got tons of disposable income because you ditched a car, I fully endorse a bakfiets and longtail combo! They both fill such great niches. Plus, if one goes down waiting for a part (god forbid) you still have a capable ride for you and your family!

Check out @shifter.info's video on choosing a cargo e-bike. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIhb... Plus look at what I'll do for the sake of research.

Calgary has had a wet June, and it has led to absolutely stunning wildflowers. If you aren't seeking out our undeveloped green spaces, what are you even doing? #yyc

This is simply delightful. More of these across the country! I’d volunteer…..

My dad is a volunteer for this. It’s a magical program that does a world of good.

Look, maybe I didn't SEE the goats, but there were signs!

It’s really important that the #Vancouver Downtown Business Association, who were originally against bike-lanes, are now among their most vigourous supporters, because of ACTUAL EVIDENCE that they’re better for downtown business than any street parking they replaced. Safe bike-lanes mean business.

Not to beat a dead horse, but this is only 20% of the original ambition that Pathways spent a lot of time advertising on their website (as seen in this wayback machine grab from 2024 for example). While targets change one might reasonably question if they were really "on a path"

Anyone remember the Guidebook for Great Communities Public Hearing in 2021? Yes, I rewatched the whole thing and took notes. It was agonizing. Then I met Peter Dormaar who took my raw data and turned it into something interesting.

I have no voice (literally. And no not because of something fun like stampede). So I guess its going to be a bsky live react to the MOU www.canada.ca/en/privy-cou...

Sighs. Whenever Indigenous peoples want to develop renewable energy, settlers always complain that this will threaten their pristine land. But tgeir view ibbuilding pipelines and data centre's: were good.
