Monthly mass bike ride that takes place on the last Friday of every month in Calgary. Let's take up space and ride! 🤠
Pinned
We've been good all month let's get together and be silly ✨festively✨ #yycbike
It's honestly so infuriating that the city thinks this is acceptable. The roads were dry though!
I biked to work today… except for this part. Seemed a bit risky being an icy downhill and slightly off camber. Walked the unplowed side no problem.
On the ride home this section had improved but still not great.
When will Calgary become serious about winter maintenance?

These MLA recall campaigns are a pretty signal that a growing number of Albertans are unhappy with the UCP and want to do something about it. This should be a big wake up to the opposition NDP that it’s time to start nominating candidates who can try to harness some of this volunteer power.

Calgary has had a record year… in pedestrian deaths.😔
Other cities have had zero and they attribute “that milestone in part to 30 km/h speed limits, redesigned streets, and reliable public transit”
Will #yyccc be brave and do the right thing?

#yyc: not only do we think people don't bike in winter, we want to make sure they feel like they shouldn't!
Pathway report: with fresh snow today, be aware there is tons of ice in spots underneath.
The roads past sunalta school are the snirtiest I've seen this year. Side roads bad!
