From all the things I like from BlueSky, #yycbike is my favourite one.
All the road reports and ride tips make my commute safer. And it feels nice to feel part of that community

& the back part of my out & back commute for school drop off. The snow on the trees & the sunrise in the distance are just a couple things that bring me joy on winter bike commutes. #yycbike

Chabot is against transit free fare for children under 12, saying it has “created nothing but problems…, has put people in jeopardy, has created a safety issue… both for the operators as well as the riders."
How does free transit under 12 do any of that? 🤷♂️

Over the past two years in Winnipeg, 25 pedestrians and cyclists have been killed in motor vehicle collisions. More than one per month.
When do we start genuinely prioritizing safety over vehicle speed in our street design?

Today, November 24, 2025 it snowed in Calgary. That's not unusual, Environment Canada says we had 20.8 cm of snow on November 23, 2024. Last year! Buses in Calgary went on snow routes, because we don't fund Calgary Transit for weather conditions (no snow tires so a bus can get up a hill, etc.) 1/

I do regret riding the 1.75” Schwalbe marathon winter studded instead of the 3” 45NRTH Wrathchild studded. It was rough out there this AM.

Just spitballing here, but maybe leaf-blowing the stairs down to water at the Prince’s Island park lagoon isn’t the priority at 8:15 AM on a snowy Monday when people are trying to cross the uncleared pedestrian bridge?

Great post on how our unsafe trucks (they’d never be allowed in Europe) kill so many pedestrians, and how our governments and companies do almost nothing about it despite endless safety theatre.

Hey #yycbike community! If you are able to give a helping hand from your smart phone or computer, it would be great have as many voices speak up that opening this safe street improvement should be a priority.
Thank you! 🙏
Thank you! 🙏
You can let the City know you’d like to see this new safe space for people to ride open today by submitting a 311 request and writing our new councillor Myke Atkinson’s office: [email protected]
The more people they hear from, the sooner it’ll finally open!

Disappointingly it looks like the Bow River Pathway between 10 St and 14 St NW may have lost it opportunity to be completed before winter sets it. There's a long stretch where things have yet to be paved. I'm guessing that means it will not open until sometime in the spring.

Was reading through Calgary's budget that goes to council this week. On page 71, it lists the KPIs for Calgary's Mobility infrastructure.
There doesn't seem to be one for safety?

In 2016, Calgary released its Pedestrian Strategy.
The document contained a section called “A Vision for 2025” that prophesied what it would be like in 10 years.
Well, it’s 2025. How did we do Calgary?
