We needed stronger regulations on e-bike batteries, like, yesterday. Not only are the cheap dangerous batteries causing fires, but their existence is causing landlords & property managers to ban *all* e-bike & scooter batteries - even the safer ones - from buildings & parkades (like where I work).

Residents of Alberta's largest cities, Edmonton and Calgary, couldn't care less what goes on in Westlock or Drayton Valley or Lac La Biche. But residents of those towns had demonstrated, through political power, their desire to ban bike lanes and rainbow crosswalks in the major cities.

Wîhkwêntôwin Neighbourhood Renewal final designs are out now: buff.ly/ea557h2 There is a short engagement period, with two in person events and an online survey. We think that an important neighbourhood like this deserves a more ambitious design. #yegbike #yegcc

I'm becoming tired of being a responsible person in a society that condones irresponsibility.

I found out today that ~40% of people are functionally illiterate and it explains so much.

Currently taking bets on when/where a motorist will hit this train

Venezuela 💔

Filed a 311 report for the window ON the priority loop on 83 ave between 96 & 97 streets. #YEGbike

As was foretold in the ancient scripts - "they shall go unused 8 months of each year" #yegbike

Whatever you do, don’t drink and drive tonight. Your pets won’t understand why you didn’t come home.

#yegbike updates: Most SUP in Mill Creek N and area have been cleared, except for one stretch adjacent to the Muttart LRT station for some reason. Mill Creek Bridge is passable, albeit a bit on the icy side. Neighbourhood roads still a mess in Bonnie Doon; take the sidewalk when possible.

I had such a good nap I woke up thinking it was tomorrow.

This morning I received an email from the SE Active Pathways team, re: 91 street. I had filed a couple of 311 reports for deficient/non-existent snow clearing earlier in the month. #YEGbike “Thank you for your patience as we address the recent snow clearing quality on the active pathways. 1/4

If it weren’t for my pill planner I wouldn’t know what day of the week it is this time of year.

The confusion on a man’s face when it’s a front-clasp bra.

Gave a driver thumbs down for almost hitting me along 83 ave. What a rush of adrenaline. #YEGbike

Making a playlist to cope with intense feelings is perfectly acceptable as a woman in your 30s, right?

My commute to work wasn't terrible, though I do suggest avoiding the 87 ave hill in Bonnie Doon. Otherwise most areas are packed down enough that snirt isn't too much of an issue. Mill Creek SUP are looking good. #YEGbike

A flash freeze warning for Edmonton? Not sure I’ve seen that before, but I imagine this will be like the scene from The Day After Tomorrow where they have to outrun the cold.

This intersection is currently under renewal without any safety improvements for pedestrians.

I can’t believe Toronto Maple Leafs didn’t want Hyman. #LetsGoOilers

Will the City of Edmonton work this hard to keep cyclists safe when the province inevitably comes for bike lanes to appease people the never visit Edmonton? #yegbike

Well that commute sucked. #YEGbike With 76 ave/Mill Creek closed I took the residential streets and had my third tumble in a week. Apparently I'm looking to break records. 91 street from Argyll to 51 avenue is not cleared, and 51 ave itself west to 99 has windrows from road plowing.

From now on I’m calling my menstrual cup my menstrual chalice.

All I want for Christmas is class consciousness.

I have an appointment on the south side today. I'll be using Mill Creek N/S, 91 street, and then westbound on 51 ave. Is the 76 ave detour well marked? Any details on MUP conditions? Thanks, #yegbike!

More bike racks have been installed at Ritchie Hub. The total is now nine racks. #yegbike

Apparently the average length of a crush is something like 3-6 months. It’s been 3 months and I’m about to die. I’m in my early 30s. How do teenagers handle this?!

Two tumbles in two days, this time because someone rolled their stop and didn’t look left/right for traffic. My bike is askew, and my right side is fucking aching. #YEGbike

As a former Jehovah’s Witness of 23 years I didn’t convert anybody. As a cyclist of 4 years I’ve already converted at least one person to winter riding. #YEGbike

Re: Bonnie Doon bike lanes #yegbike

Hey yeg cyclists, I bought a panier from Aliexpress and it came with a rain cover that I’ve never used. It measures roughly 40” long and 22” wide. Can anyone use this? Maybe for a bike trailer?Free. #yegbike

Hot girls ride their bike in the winter.

First true snowy commute went well! I was on my new (to me) acoustic bike. A bit bummed to see so many car tracks in the 83 lane between gateway/calgary, though.

I love how passionate Rob Ashton is about workers’ rights and labour. #NDPdebate

YES to proportional representation! #NDPdebate

The lack of bilingualism in the @ndp.ca debate is concerning. Only two know how to speak French to differing degrees?

The @ndp.ca leadership debate stream is sooo quiet. I couldn’t even hear it on my laptop, and now my TV is nearly at maximum.

The Air Quality Index (AQI) at the Edmonton East site in Canada is 157 [Unhealthy] as of Nov 26, 2025 @ 10AM Local Time. This is the highest AQI observation in 30 days. #AQIObs

I find the “no left on red” signage at intersections most confusing, as left on red is already illegal.

When you hit all the green lights on 100ave #yegbike

Anyone with info about or video of the crash is asked to contact the Edmonton Police Service at 780-423-4567 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. #YEGbike

You don’t hate Mondays. You hate capitalism.

IT FIT 🎉

If you say your “Christmas is ruined” b/c we don’t carry the chocolate your family has had for the past 20 years, I’m guessing your Christmas wasn’t that great to begin with.

An ideal location for high density residential, as it’s so close to the LRT.

I need a Venn diagram explaining to me when someone is being friendly vs flirty.

That stupid “rawr” sound when FLA scores 😑 #LetsGoOilers

Going to test out a new-to-me gravel bike tomorrow at @bikeedmonton.bsky.social Really hoping it fits well, it’s a beaut! #YEGbike

In today’s least surprising local news, speed display signs aren’t enough to make our roads safer.
