I like it when there are a bunch of people on here talking about a sporting event that I'm not watching.

It's like seeing a flock of pigeons eating a smashed sidewalk donut together. I'm not partaking, but you guys dig in.

“Edmonton is cold.”

We must therefore create an entire pedway system in our downtown that keeps people inside, making the streets desolate of outside of cars.

The roads are certainly wide enough 🙃

It’s sooooo bad.

My volunteering is powered by bloom cookies 💪🏻

Three cookies artfully placed on a napkin, with a blue and brown mug of chai latte in the background.

If they don’t personally benefit from it, it’s a “pet project”

Drivers are so funny.

They got mad at me for biking on 106 ave NW in Fulton, but also give me the wave of death to cross said four lane street.

Anyway one mildly annoying thing about chronic illness is that if you DO take a sick day, people assume you 'caught something' rather than your own health conditions being, say, unstable things that can suddenly worsen. :(

I wish chronic illness was static! My life would be easier! But!

Is this official? It has the same vibes as those people who put up "private parking" signs on the street in front of their house.

It’s the sheer number of them that freaks me out!

JP @perrinjan.bsky.social · 2d

They like the warmth of buildings in the fall. My neighbours have a Manitoba maple tree, and that’s where they came from. They’re not harmful, just annoying.

Typically I don’t mind bugs or any “creepy crawlies” but there are several hundred boxelder bugs hanging out on the south side of the house where the door is and JFC I hate them I hate them I hate them.

How odd. It feels like coffee and bikes go hand in hand.

Oh do they not have bike racks/like cyclists? I haven’t looked at Watson’s policies at all.

My old stomping grounds! I liked how close it was to many things!

This is my favourite time of year to ride, so refreshing!

Imagine claiming the Alberta Next Panel is about ensuring respect from Ottawa and ensuring all voices are heard, and then you yell at a young Albertan publicly that he needs to be spanked for asking a fair question and expressing an opinion.

Absolute peak hypocrisy.

Anecdotally I’ve seen an uptick in kids using the bikes lanes over the past couple of years.

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.
