These are spring like counts and it’s the middle of January!

Is Calgary truly a year round bicycling City? 🤔

Thoughts on these mini stop signs for the separated wheeling lanes?
I think they’re kind of weird.

Ride through East Village on the weekend and noticed the planters have moved to separate the wheeling from the walking. Previously it separated cars from bicycles.

Anyone know why the change?

If Alberta wants to help lower the cost of building multi family homes, it could adopt the elevator standard used by the rest of the world…

Does Calgary have more people bicycling in the winter than Edmonton? Or does Calgary just have more Strava users?

On the left is the Strava heat map for the past week in Edmonton vs. the same for Calgary on the right.

“Blaming bike lanes is blaming the solution. The only thing that gets cars off the road is better transit and better active transportation. The two go hand in hand.” - Sam Austin

Calgary's pipe problems are a prime example of "strategic amnesia" inside city hall. Knowledge was fragmented. Responsibility was murky. And the pressures of growth eclipsed all else. #yyccc

The 2 Ave NW protected wheeling lanes were physically completed in Nov 2025, then in Dec and Jan crews have installed signage. As of this week it’s been added to the snow maintenance map.

With this week’s chinook will it finally get cleared?

All Calgarians know how to reduce their water usage. Every single one of them.

You just have to give them a financial incentive. Exhibit 11👇

I’m thinking instead of using my bike bell that I’ll just whistle all the time while riding.

Yay or Nay?

I feel like this is a “Read the Transcripts” moment for Calgary…

The good news is the report is only 88 pages long and half of it is supporting appendices.

So do your own reputation a favour and read the report.

Don’t rely on Post Media to form your opinion.

#Calgary
Live in Calgary, have you read the Bearspaw South
Feedermain report?

Or are you relying on what Post Media is telling you is in the report?

Just did a word search… bike lane, bag fee and blanket Rezoning are never mentioned let alone listed as causes. 🤔
