Black Friday down south, White Friday up north.
The funicular has you covered. The snow is covering everything else!
What a difference a day makes.

The joys of TikTok message requests.

The last Thursday of November, and winter is trying hard to assert itself.
Roads are still in pretty good shape, but get that winter bike out if you have one.

Happy Monday , friends.

Just a reminder that the funicular is a handy way to help get you out of the river valley if you don’t feel like climbing a hill or stairs.
Also, the view is quite nice!

Happy Friday, funicular friends.
CBC radio triggered my biggest pet peeve this a.m. saying “The funicular is always down.”

It has some outages, and status problems , but it mostly works and it’s a great feature.
Stop funicular hate!

Bike Commuting tip #1: If you hear an unfamiliar noise from your bike, even if it's running smoothly, STOP to investigate! In 2017, I thought nothing of a metallic twang I heard, which turned out to be a bungy cable disconnecting and working its way into my derailleur.
What a wipeout that was!

Frosty funicular.
The funicular is working fine.
THE ELEVATOR IS STILL DOWN but at least the website says it’s closed until further notice rather than closed for the season. I have high hopes it will be repaired soon.

Drivers: I know you think you’re doing cyclists a favour by stopping & waving us through an intersection while you’ve got right of way, but you really aren’t. You’re being unpredictable and screwing up the flow of traffic for everyone and just causing further delays for us to safely cross. Stop it.

Catch that aurora light show last night? What about that magical sunset on Sunday?
Seems like we have more than our share of special sights
here in YEG.
The sight of the funicular working fine is always grand!

Happy mild Monday folks. Light traffic today because of school breaks, mild weather (until the wind kicks up this afternoon) and a day off tomorrow.
Things are looking up!

The funicular will take you in and out of the river valley, but maybe you’re interested in going other places?
Elevator is stuck and alarming so probably temporary outage.

Please share widely.
Jamaica is devastated by Hurricane Melissa. Local organizers have planned this fundraising event for 2 of the hardest hit parishes. I am close to one of the organizers and vouch for the integrity of the this initiative. Donations welcome; see link. Hope to see you there!

Pleasantly surprised to find the funicular is repaired and running again this afternoon. Thank goodness because I really hate climbing Rowland Road.

Unfortunately, the funicular will be down until next week.
That means my commute will start with a climb up Rowland Road.
Giddy-up!

Nice new bike infrastructure on 103 Avenue for the detour from 102 Avenue which is supposed to be effective TODAY. What’s the delay Marigold? @cityofedmonton.bsky.social

Unfortunately, the funicular has been vandalized again, and it’s down.
What’s your alternate route? Do you just take the stairs?
