Drivers: I know you think you’re doing cyclists a favour by stopping & waving us through an intersection while you’ve got right of way, but you really aren’t. You’re being unpredictable and screwing up the flow of traffic for everyone and just causing further delays for us to safely cross. Stop it.

Catch that aurora light show last night? What about that magical sunset on Sunday?
Seems like we have more than our share of special sights
here in YEG.
The sight of the funicular working fine is always grand!
ELEVATOR IS STILL DOWN.

Happy mild Monday folks. Light traffic today because of school breaks, mild weather (until the wind kicks up this afternoon) and a day off tomorrow.
Things are looking up!

The funicular will take you in and out of the river valley, but maybe you’re interested in going other places?
Elevator is stuck and alarming so probably temporary outage.

Please share widely.
Jamaica is devastated by Hurricane Melissa. Local organizers have planned this fundraising event for 2 of the hardest hit parishes. I am close to one of the organizers and vouch for the integrity of the this initiative. Donations welcome; see link. Hope to see you there!

Pleasantly surprised to find the funicular is repaired and running again this afternoon. Thank goodness because I really hate climbing Rowland Road.

Unfortunately, the funicular will be down until next week.
That means my commute will start with a climb up Rowland Road.
Giddy-up!

Nice new bike infrastructure on 103 Avenue for the detour from 102 Avenue which is supposed to be effective TODAY. What’s the delay Marigold? @cityofedmonton.bsky.social

Unfortunately, the funicular has been vandalized again, and it’s down.
What’s your alternate route? Do you just take the stairs?

Today I paid tribute to someone who was a friend & inspiration to many of us, Darren Markland.

One of the best humans I’ve ever known.

In the shadow of the challenges our world faces today, we need more people like Darren.

Perhaps the best tribute we can pay is to be more like him. #abpoli

I don’t wear red much, but today it seems fitting.
Human rights are always in style.
Unfortunately, the funicular is down for scheduled maintenance until Friday.

Wasn’t sure what the weather was doing this morning, so I decided to load up my “mobility device” on transit to get out of the river valley.
It’s a lovely, blustery fall day!

Friday foreshadowing.
One week until Halloween.
I’ll be riding with the witches in Riverdale.
You comin’?
(BTW, witches on the funicular ARE permitted!)

The "trade war" is not the reason.

It's the fascism.

If you see someone doing a thankless job that benefits those of us who enjoy public spaces, giving a smile and saying “thank you for your work” may get you a huge smile in return and a pretty good feeling that will last your whole day.

Dark and a little creepy coming through the river valley these mornings.
We are less than two weeks away from the time change and who knows how long before the white stuff arrives and makes the landscape a little brighter.
