#Cargobike riding, mom of 4, living in the #carcentric suburbs of Edmonton using #activetransportation and #publictransit while avoiding being hit by drivers. Even in winter.
Also a lawyer, but don't hold that against me.

I love the conversations that arise when you say, oh no, it's fine to ride all year.
Some look at you like your crazy, but every so often you get to have a deeper convo and invite someone into the wonderful world of winter cycling

I don't like that they limit the open text feedback to 300 characters on the first two questions and 500 on the last one.
If they are engaging through online means, they need to engage.

Fantastic question!
I don't think the people opposed are thinking logically about how fast they actually move in their cars.

But the snow.... You can't bike in winter, we are covered in snow 9118738438 months a year 😅
Looks lovely!

That's my anecdotal observation too; my 14km commute takes 38 min. My neighbor with the same DT commute says he's taking at least an hour in rush hour each day.
My commute time has not changed at all.
Except after a snowfall on my MUPs that aren't cleared for 3 days. But the road is bare & dry

The access to the ped/cycle detour on 111 from 9 ave is a mess- there isn't a safe way to legally access it on a bike. And the detour itself is directly up against traffic with only a jersey barrier- no separation, and the detour is very narrow, with fences sticking out when you least expect it.

I was out after - 9ave (west of the intersection) could not access 111 in either direction, and 111 southbound from 12ave to 9 ave was closed for at least a couple hours.
The EPS accident reconstruction unit was parked in the construction area. I didn't realize a youth or bike was involved 😔

That's huge on bike share! Great mileage for any kind of riding.
The more we all collectively ride, the better it is for everyone.

I'm sure @bikebikeyyc.bsky.social would be happy to upgrade it so you can ride more.
Riding in black and white is hard. I don't know how you stand it 😅
