You can bike to school year round in Calgary! #yycbike #biketoschool #bicycle #bicycling

A high-turnout election! Bradford got more votes losing than all but 2 winners in Toronto's post-1997 history, and both those cases were incumbents running against relatively weaker challengers. Olivia Chow, of course, won *even more* making her the most vote-getting politician in Canadian history.

Just posted a podcast episode about Kidical Mass this morning. We're doing our final ride of 2026 on Saturday. Halloween costumes welcome and encouraged! The ride will leave from the Simmons Building in the East Village. I'll post more details this week! #yycbike pod.link/1890274577/e...

The UCP might make Edmonton pay up to $170M to rip out its own bike lanes. I've heard reports that the UCP has been asking for costs of full network removals. City numbers put that at $150-170M This is the same gov't that just spent $130M on a glorified opinion poll.

Will the student submissions mimic the victim blaming approach demonstrated by the adults (wear bright clothing etc.), or will they demonstrate the real action that is needed in is from those in control of the harm? 🤔

Is no one going to ask *how* she plans on enforcing this? The party bylaws don't give her authority. This isn't the APP. Bylaws do matter.

Want to live a lifestyle that doesn’t cost you $100 just to leave the house… then go buy a cheap bike and ride. 🤷‍♂️ #bicycle

“Cyclists are often perceived as recklessly flaunting road laws. A new study challenges this perception. The study found only 5% of cyclists broke road rules while riding on bike infrastructure versus 66% of motorists who broke rules while driving.” Safe bike infrastructure fuels rule-following.

Hey #yycBike! Roll call, who has either put on their winter tires or has it on their to-do list today?

IMO the UCP has been touting antibike legislation coming in Nov for 3 reasons. 1. Create a distraction from other things 2. Fires up their base 3. Nov is a cold month when the “nobody bikes in winter” lands with people on the fence #yycBike and #yegBike get those winter tires on this weekend! 😉

HOT OFF THE PRESS! Calgary city council will decide whether to approve 7 new communities in the coming weeks (incl 3 on Tuesday). Meanwhile city hall is bracing for less revenue from suburban developers after new UCP restrictions. I dig into all this and more...

I recently bought a class 1 mid drive ebike and have started to do errands with it. Here are the speed profiles of the same errand route that involves a big hill, one by ebike the other acoustic bike. The average speed is 66% faster by ebike. The moving time was almost half. Amazing! #yycBike

It’s a great point. Is it too much to say if you are against bike lanes and want them removed, you are MAGA? 🤷‍♂️

Technically it’s illegal to operate power wheelchairs and four wheeled mobility devices on cycle tracks in Alberta. But the relatively smoother roll cycle tracks offer is often preferred by people who use them. The laws need to change to make it legal. #yycBike #yegBike #Calgary

Bicycling from work Calgary Oct 22, 2026 #yycBike #Calgary #BikeToWork

Landscaping companies are practicing for the sidewalk snow clearing season by blowing all the leaves into the street and cycle track. 🙄 #yycBike #NoShame

I did not understand this CD&US sign this morning… the only thing barricaded was the opposite cross walk. And there was nothing happening there either. 🤷‍♂️ #yycBike

RETIRED? Hardly! #CriminalMischief is back — with a very special episode featuring a confrontation with one of NYC's worst people!

Hey #yycbike!! Here is tomorrow’s #coffeeoutsideyyc 7:30am meet up location. Be prepared for colder temp, snow & strong winds out of the N-NW when you head out for the day. It’ll make Alforno Bakery that much more cozy when you get there. 😃👍🏻

This is so sad. I’ve always said to family and friends to never attempt to change a tire on the side of a highway. Drive until you are safely away from high speed cars. Wreck the wheel of the flat tire in the process if needed. Just don’t risk your life.

Since 2016, the City of Toronto has spent about $27 million to design and install bike lanes. It’ll take an estimated $48 million to rip them up. Here, we crunch some of the numbers for what Doug Ford’s war on bike lanes will cost Toronto’s residents: thewalrus.ca/doug-ford-is-spe...

I’m surprised they are only delaying opening by 30 min. There’s going to lots of prep work in the dark for crews.

Keep it up, Toronto!

Made it back home to Etobicoke for another protest #biketo

Wow! This is really bad! #crimestoppers

Results from Alberta Referendum’s first 9 questions are still being counted and the results are getting better. All the constitution questions have flipped to No. The immigrant questions are still Yes but seem to be much closer to 50/50 split. Still disappointing but somewhat less bad. 🤔

This is going to go down like a showdown at high noon in a frontier town. Grab your popcorn!🍿 #Alberta #AbPoli

This is going to be an existential showdown between DS and the separatists. Grab your popcorn!🍿

Nothing like the fresh smell of a two-stroke engine to start your day. 🙄 #Calgary #yycBike
