Didn't think of it, and someone told me they would have a minivan available for this. That said, any cargo bikes that are available are certainly welcome!

Forget EVs. Cycling is revolutionising transport

Pedal power is booming, spinning up a new culture war

It's quite bad but theoretically it helps the city figure out where to focus their non-existent enforcement efforts.

Cycling is great for your health & well-being, but there are also benefits for all of society when you bike!

E-bikes can cut pollution & traffic congestion www.nationalobserver.com/2025/10/10/n... #ebikes #yyc #yeg

E-bikes could cut carbon, congestion and costs — if cities take them seriously

E-bike sales are booming, providing a sustainable form of transportation that also improves public health. Yet American cities remain committed to cars.

We would recommend that you report this to 311 but they won't show up for days and the vehicle will be long gone.

This is especially frustrating since there is a loading zone around the corner and a loading bay for the building they are parked in front of.

We cannot allow the UCP to win this election.

We are supporting independent candidates who will put community before party politics, and WE NEED YOUR HELP.

Advanced voting opens for the 2025 municipal election today.

Somehow it feels fitting that the first day of snow this year might land on the day of this ride. Dr. Markland was a year round cyclist - so please bundle up, put on your studded tires, and join us Sunday as we honour him!

Bike lanes are expensive…

This is what a construction worker told a neighbour as they were building a bike lane in our neighbourhood. 🤔

Imagine slamming a project that is literally putting food on your table.🤷‍♂️

Today, Vancouver is well on its way to having a complete citywide AAA network. When asked whether or not the fight was worth it, Robertson is confident he’s on the right side of history: “The media overinflated how controversial it was. Change is always challenging, but it’s the right thing to do.”🔚

People of all ages and abilities ride bicycles on protected cycling infrastructure on the streets of Downtown Vancouver.

It is odd that we don't add loading zones and accessible parking to neighbourhoods be default. Especially now, where food delviery and uber pickups are more common, providing a safe/legal option just makes sense to keep drivers out of places they should not be.

No women, no safety

Women on bikes are the indicator species of a city’s cycling health.

If you don’t see many of us, it’s not about lack of interest — it’s about safety.

Really looking forward to the bike lane on 88 ave between 95 street and Bonnie Doon Centre being built next year.

People go WAY too fast, and pass WAY too close. #YEGBike
