Winter's here, so be on the lookout for "snirt" (snow dirt)!

AKA "brown snow", AKA "brown sugar", we mean that no good mix of snow, dirt, sand, and/or salt that is loose and slushy and can cover icy patches underneath.

It can be dangerous.

Have fun but be vigilant. Enjoy the adventure!

Yesterday, representatives from the Viking, soccer, pirate, and sandwich communities came together to settle historical grievances via our "Halloween Costume" Slow Roll 2025.

We're calling it the "Treaty of Blondes".

We remain encouraged by the power of cycling to bring people together. 🙂❤️🚲🎃

When Darin Kinniewess's family informed us that a second "spirit bike" had been removed from his memorial site, we decided to try something else.

We hope this small plaque will be a lasting placeholder for the community to honour him and for others to reflect on the ongoing need for safer streets.
Image shows a stainless steel memorial plaque for Darin Kinniewess screwed to a wooden power post in Saskatoon, SK. Darin died while riding his bike in 2023. The plate has an image of a simple, stylized bicycle with Darin's name underneath, and his birthdate (Mar. 13, 1987) and his date of death (Sept. 7, 2023). The words "Forever Loved." are at the bottom of the plaque. Saskatoon Cycles and Darin's family extend gratitude to Remnant Steel of Saskatoon for donating the material for the plaque.

We were honoured to be with Darin Kinniewess' family and friends for the 2nd Annual Bike/Walk to remember him.

It was a good reminder that Darin touched a lot of people, and that our community is incredibly diverse and filled with those who care about others.

Thanks to Tyrone for organizing.

This was the 2nd Annual Walk/Bike to remember him, and in attendance were members of Saskatoon Cycles, FASD Network, Bridge on 20th, Salvation Army, and Darin's family.
