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

Here’s a photo from 3 years ago. This seemed fine. 🤷‍♂️

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?

Hmmmm. 🤨

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.

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?

A month after submitting 311 requests and the winter pathway maintenance map has been updated with the reopened section back in scope. 👇

Thanks everyone who submitted tickets and thanks to the city for getting this back in scope. ❄️😀👍

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👇

Seriously… I’ve got to stop posting about winter riding! I had 4 people ahead of me at this light on my ride home this afternoon! There were 2 more ahead of them. WTH!

Just realized that above snippet had a filter set that didn't show where "Other Agencies" do the snow clearing. My mistake. So it looks like there is someone who should be doing this... the question is who and likely a 311 call is needed to confirm.

The City’s snow clearing map shows that sidewalk as not something they maintain. So me thinks NHC is incorrectly assuming it’s the City’s responsibility.

Balmoral Circus needs to have a snow maintenance map that looks like Beaumont circus with more black lines and less blue ones. 👍

Just like a broken clock is correct two times a day, this cyclist per year progress counter on 5At SW is correct for the first week with no progress showing.

The daily count at the top still works and on this Jan 6, 2025 there were 263 people who passed this point by 4 PM.

I'm confused... Balmoral Circus and the length of 2 St NW is listed as a street that receives snow clearing as an On-Street Bikeway. That means it should be plowed from 11 Ave all the way to 32 Ave NW.

That’s why I like the GoPro on a chest harness so much. Filming at -20C like in this video is no problem. Fingers stay toasty warm! 😀

From this video 👆

The meditative state, being present while at the same time letting your mind wander… this is so true and such a great thing about riding. 👍

When a numbered account posts a “ring your bell” post on Calgarys R&T FB site at 2 AM on a Sunday morning… are they just drunk, or is that when the bots do their rounds?

The pathway clearing along the Bow River pathway this Sunday morning (8AM) was amazing!

How do we bottle that effort so it’s ready to open for the first snow fall of the year?

Was it a good idea to leave foggy Calgary this morning and go fat biking in West Bragg?

Yes it was! Beautiful sunny day out there! ❄️🚲😀
