Such a great event last night at the Bicycle Film Festival at the Globe cinema. A sell out! And a ton of $$ raised for @youthenroute.bsky.social programming. Thanks Ridley's and to #yycbike for coming out!

Rode to Cavalry game and there were bike racks today! And while at red light, someone rolled down window and asked if I was Laura from youth en route. “Love what you do!” #yycbike

And if people are wondering how to support city changing work - tell them to reach out. Our bike programs reached 4,600 kids in 2024/5 - giving teens tools to use cycling as transportation but also empower them with confidence & community.
(We also help kids be more empathetic drivers!) #yycbike

Another death on calgary roads. Heartbreaking and preventable. #yyccc do better.

This is my fav from our cycling classes. picking bike that matches outfit:

our @youthenroute.bsky.social team was out taking some pics yesterday in the East village. Thanks to all the team from our youth advisory council for being our models

Had tons of fun with our @youthero.bsky.social staff updating first aid certifications at @redcrosscanada.bsky.social today. Lots of great learning! Way to go team! #yyc #cyclingsafety #firstaid

@youthenroute.bsky.social staff had an amazing couple of weeks working with the special needs students at Mid Sun School. So much fun learning new skills. Thanks

So, my #tarifffighting purchase from Quilts Etc. Lovely. 🇨🇦🇨🇦

But I think the biggest thing we can do at this time is to buy used, refurbish and upcycle. I re-upholstered the cheapo bench with about 4 hours of work and $50 in fabric.

I love this pick from a few years ago...the little moose just appeared out of nowhere. Living in #yyc is amazing! #onlybeautifulthings

This was my note, sent before I'd actually looked at the news about the not signing the canada letter. I might have to update. so embarrassing.

So, had a very productive day! Another 50 bikes to students at Father Lacombe HS, CBC interview, and then off to present to the #futureofsport commission, talking about our collective failure to teach bike riding skills to kids!

Youth en route staff and volunteers had an amazing morning giving out over 50 bikes, helmets, locks and tool kits to PE students at Father Lacombe High School. We taught cycling skills, took them on a ride, and offered up bikes. 115 kids took us up on it, so we still have work to do!

Please take a look at our latest blog post on our classes at Father Lacombe High School. - it was an amazing couple of weeks
