These protected lanes on 2 Av & 7 Av NW took several months to build & now they are blocked… likely for weeks.
Why?
B/c those tiny stop signs & Keep Left except bikes haven’t been installed yet.🙄

Interesting that Nose creek got gravel treatment after the ice/snow but super busy areas like Riverwalk and the Eau Claire pathways have not. Bad omen for this upcoming SNIC season... #yycbike

Oh man, that's a tough visual of the engine letting go.
The National Transportation Safety Board unveiled new details describing a stunning frame-by-frame images showing the left engine separating from the plane and going up and over the wing, after the fiery crash of a UPS plane in Louisville killed 14 people earlier this month.

Morning update on this hill. Top and bottom areas are still super sketchy, and I walked them. The middle section was pretty much bare and dry. #yycbike

Also, if anyone from #yycbike can report on the condition of the pathway that goes down to the river by Shaganappi golf course it would be much appreciated. Will be riding down it early tomorrow morning, trying to determine if summer bike might be doable by tomorrow after today warms things up.

In personal #yycbike news, my ride in today put me over my yearly distance goal of 6000km. It's been a great year of riding. Looking forward to putting more km's on top of that.

#yycbike report (0530) Eau Claire, Riverwalk, Bow north and Nose creek a mix of about 60% icy and the rest bare. Really watch yourself of downhills and turns. Lots of ruts to some of the ice too, which can grab tires. Side roads slick, main roads looking pretty good now though.

You know the "Many Bothans died to bring up this information" line? Instead it is AI telling you how many lakes were dried up to bring you this probably wrong information.

Hmm, kiddo in grade 11 said the school just made a PA announcement that the walkout today isn't happening. Shenanigans?

Two Years on a Cargo Bike. @cailynn.bsky.social makes a great point here on e-cargo bikes (and e-bikes in general). Thought of as occasional or recreational use case, they are pricey. The math changes fast however if they start replacing vehicle trips. #yycbike gooutside.substack.com/p/two-years-...

Memorial closed in the section not showing traffic. Police have it taped off and I could see CFD further up at the pedestrian crossing at 7th street. I really hope it’s not another pedestrian incident.
