In a packed bar in Penticton on a Wednesday afternoon for CAN-SUI

Once again, we are visiting BC and I'm envious of simple bits of bike infrastructure. Take your bike to dinner and park it without worry. Seems so simple.

The solutions are well understood and obvious, they're just not politically attractive. Drivers can't bear to be delayed or have their primacy diminished even a little. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Convocation 🎓 day for the youngest, have to say that made it a pretty great day. So many bright and shiny young people taking that next step in life. Also, Jon Cornish is a pretty awesome chancellor.

Flavor Flav Announces SHE Weekend to Celebrate Women’s Sports & Olympic Athletes: ‘Now It’s a Movement’

My apologies to the greater Calgary community for taking the snow tires off my car last week. My bad.

Two out of the last three rides to work I have waited at a signalled crosswalk for the light to change, and upon proceeding have had cars that were full on stopped at a red light proceed to just run it while I am in the crosswalk. 42 Ave & 1 St SE intersection is a terrible design.

I found this Calgary 1996 cycle plan while googling something else. It has a lot of great ideas and optimism, and highlights how stalled progress has been over the last 30 years. bicycleinfrastructuremanuals.com/wp-content/u... #yycbike

I left a bunch of feedback today, but had to stop to let my blood pressure drop. 😂 There are some good ideas here but a lot of it is just paint.

Men get emotional about women sports,,, I just try do it in a positive way

Never forget, when it comes to the likelihood of car crashes, or the deadly consequences of car crashes, speed is ALWAYS a factor. #UrbanTruth

Next phase of engagement has started for a SW bikeway. This would be a great connection if done right. engage.calgary.ca/sw-neighbour.... #yycbike

Interesting that I took the "road" route instead of the pathway route to work this morning that is 2 km (~22%) shorter and it took just as long due to waiting at lights and stop signs.

Things I find in the back of the closet. Seemed apropos. Wonder if I'll get any comments around the office 😁

The camera bird feeder the kiddos got us remains a fave.

Waking up early on the weekend to good news, Magdeleine Vallieres is in the lead group!!! 🇨🇦 #stradebianche

Small life improvement - was assembling a mirror from IKEA and was struggling to get enough torque on the Phillips screws to tighten up the connections. Turns out, they aren't Phillips, they are Pozidrive. Procured a Pozidrive screwdriver and everything went together like magic.

Sure sign of spring just around the corner, picked up a bunch of Okotoks Dawgs baseball tickets for the upcoming season. ❤️⚾

City of Calgary truck completely blocking the path by Heritage Park. Their reply when they came sauntering back, as I was pushing my bike through the snow, was "I'm not perfect" #yycbike

Small thing - taking the geriatric blind pupper out in the sunshine to sniff until her heart's content, even though we only get one house away, lifts the weight of watching her decline just a bit.

Can you imagine? #yycbike

We're at a cottage on Vancouver Island and the power just came back on a half hour ago. Time to watch some 5:00 am hockey.

Sunrise was kinda ridiculous this morning.

Kinda wishing I had brought shorts for the ride home. 16C in February?

Received a bird feeder camera for Christmas which is super cool. But because the ground is frozen, the only place I have to install it is a bit too, let's say, convenient. So for now it is an awesome squirrel cam until I can move it in the spring.

Good old Calgary, I bet it warmed up five to ten degrees Celsius over the time it took to ride to work. It was downright balmy when I arrived at the office.

Chilly ride in, but spectacular conditions. Pathways were cleared and hard packed. Even the roads weren't half bad.

Proposed apartments above the Ship & Anchor? 25 years ago me is intrigued.

I'm hardly ever a passenger but this morning I took an Uber to the office. You see interesting things, like other drivers full on watching YouTube on their dash mounted phones. We're doomed.

Good morning to all who are wide awake thanks to that hidden ice under a skiff of snow. 😬 #yycbike Be careful out there bike folks.

🚗: I hope I find parking. 🚴🏽‍♂️: I hope I don’t die. Our priorities are not the same.

Stopped for a cappuccino this morning as a little Friday treat. The guy ahead of me has an eighteen syllable coffee order, plus a pastry and breakfast sandwich - $22 and no freaking tip. I'll admit that tipping has gotten out of control but throw the barista holding it down alone at 7:00 am a buck.

Lovely morning.

Heads up on the Elbow River pathway near Riverdale Ave. Big semi frozen puddle at the bottom of a hill, on a corner. Was a bit sketchy. #yycbike

Such a weird morning: Tore my jacket walking out the door on a small hook. Forgot my phone in the house. Phone then fell out of pocket into road and I had to backtrack to find it. Luckily there were no cars. Bike is shifting weird, but that's on me as it needs a good cleaning. Didn't start Strava.😂

Untapped business opportunity - a realtor that gets around town by bike that can screen properties with good bike storage etc. Listings have next to no info.

Potential @calgaryk.bsky.social sighting on 42 Ave pathway this morning. I mean, how many cargo bikes are there in the winter? #yycbike

www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... No word on whether the buildings were wearing hi-viz clothing.

Quite a winter wonderland day in Calgary

Sandy Beach hill looks to be open. I only noticed after I rode up the road but it was cleared and there were pedestrians on it. #yycbike

This actually makes sense.

Unusually, we did Christmas dinner on Christmas Eve this year. So it is all downhill from here - dishes are done and feet are up. I even made tomorrow's breakfast ahead.

Wrapping gifts and listening to Christmas carols. The ox and lamb kept time. Huh?

Almost twice as long to get to work this morning, that's as bad as driving in the snow.

Happy Gotcha day to this goober

#yycbike report for Elbow river pathway. Ok from the hospital to the Glenmore Tr overpass. Then sheer ice everywhere. Bailed off the paths at River Park. 14A Street, terrible. Crestview Rd, walked/slid down most of it (reminder, this is the official detour around Sandy Beach hill). Just nasty
