Cars might work fine in California or Florida, but they’re not practical here in Canada. We have winter.

The 103 Ave temporary bike lanes are receiving some scrutiny. Have you used them, and if so, what was your experience?

A new set of bike lanes is causing tension in downtown Edmonton
A new pair of bike lanes along 103 Avenue is causing some problems for residents and bike commuters in the area. The CBC's Tristan Mottershead went down to find out more about this cycling situation.

CBC posted a video talking about a building losing its on street parking due to bike lanes. Somehow they failed to mention the building’s TWO visitor parking lots. One of which you can even see in the video. #yegbike

All of #yegbike & #bikesky will love this! #Winterbiking season is here!
First snow ride of the season

Snow in my lashes. Ice in my brows.

Nothing makes me feel more alive…except my ride home tonight without studs.

Hey, @edmontonchamber.bsky.social might it be informative to talk to your counterpart in Vancouver to determine if their experience supports the claim. Bikes in Lanes drives business!
It’s really important that #Vancouver’s 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.

My husband's 15 year old bike is now winterized and ready for snow and ice again! Studded tires and safe bike infrastructure are what helped him bike to work more often! Here's to a 2nd year of safe winter commutes! #yegBike 🚲

Brilliant new ad campaign I just spotted at the Southwark tube station in London.

How was your commute today #yegbike?

If it does end up snowing tonight, it will have been 7 months and 5 days since it snowed in Edmonton!

Maybe it isn't winter for 8 months a year in Edmonton after all.
Wet snow starts at 6pm today. It'll be 3°C to 2°C at the time, and they're saying 100% chance of precipitation until 5am tomorrow (down to 0°C), which will change to 60% chance of flurries for the rest of the day, staying around 0°C to -1°C. Tomorrow should be icy and slippery!

It's sad to see local media using passive voice to alleviate drivers of their dangerous behavior. The SUV was the weapon used, not the one with agency who fled the scene.

If the only way to bring wallets into shops is using a car, that massively limits the numbers of wallets.
If you make it easy, safe, and pleasant for wallets to arrive at shops by foot, bike or public transit, there is no limit to the number of wallets that can access shops.
It’s not rocket science

Drivers never look for pedestrians when they leave parking lots. We need raised crosswalks or speed bumps to be standard.

We are seeing the same pushback across the country. Thankfully, #yeg avoided the worst outcome this election, though it appears that Calgary probably did not. It will be interesting to see how other elections across the country play out.

The @yegbike.bsky.social annual Hallowe'en critical mass was on All Saints/Dia de los Muertos this year. We haunted streets, possessed the bridge & aced pedalling in the rain.
@markiemoose.ca made a fab video, challenging conditions notwithstanding: www.instagram.com/reel/DQjGUsx...
