Last shift completed for #PedalPoll for @velocanadabikes.bsky.social - hit 6% mode share and was treated to a random banjo concert #yycbike
It’s truly a wonderful World Bicycle Day when my gloves fall off my bike in the morning and I find them very nicely displayed on the way home at 7pm #WorldBicycleDay #yycbike #PedalPoll

How wonderfully perfect that Coffee Outside was at the Central Library and while there I got an alert that a hold order was in…on the Friday of a long weekend! ❤️❤️❤️

Complete streets benefit everyone – yet the progress we've made in building safe bike lanes is facing opposition. But we have a powerful tool: #PedalPollSondoVelo. You can contribute data to the fight for complete streets.

To be clear, I have the code, but haven’t built anything
I started setting one up last year but stalled out. Happy to share where we got. Was hoping to steal the code that coffee outside uses for random selector
Be careful 🚲 riding out there, the people in the broom-brooms 🚗🚙🚘 are having a challenging day 🤦‍♀️
Hey #yycbike - time to start planning for #PedalPoll2025 which occurs June 3rd to 8th (🤞that weather is ☀️and non-smokey Tues & Sat). 2024 results are now available from @velocanadabikes.bsky.social at velocanadabikes.org/pedalpoll/ and you can register to count there too! @bikecalgary.bsky.social

The majority of people want neighbourhood streets that are safer and more comfortable to walk and bicycle.

So let’s all start acting like the majority and not be silent!

Mine froze once on my Brodie Quantam, was a horrible experience as disc brakes wouldn’t release and I had to drag bike in -26 for 2 kms 🥶
That grrr moment when you misjudged the snow plow timing and get your vehicle buried 🤣🤣🤣

Shout out to the FedEx employee who I mistook for store security (he was wearing a radio 🤷‍♀️) and kindly watched my bike & groceries while I went in search of my dropped mitten. #yycbike
At least I’m short enough to walk under it 🤣
Clear when I biked home. Urban forestry team is amazing
I actually called 311 as snow started to fall, urban forestry was trying to clear before sunset for cycle safety ❤️❤️❤️
Heads up #yycbike - found a large tree down along Elbow with a number of larger limbs down in other spots. Make sure you can see at least far enough ahead to be able to brake on icy spots 😳. This is not visible heading NB until you are about to roll downhill. 311 submitted

Any tree limbs down? That wind was no joke

The story of a joyride written in bike tracks in the snow. #yegbike #wintercycling #yycbike #bikelane
Just biked home through the short squall. Fat flakes, absolutely gorgeous out, but those wet patches were becoming quite slick in a hurry, especially on the side streets. Best to take the lane #yycbike
The better question that should be asked is which of the United States want to secede and become a Canadian province?
