Cleared ≠ usable Roads were drivable. Walking and biking routes weren’t passable. The issue wasn’t clearing — it was coordination. Cleared paths were made unusable by road clearing. Everyone, including the 25% of Edmontonians who don't drive, deserve to be able to get around.

Christmas Eve. Fresh snow. Cargo trike. I don’t bike in winter because I’m tough. I bike because it's the most fun you can have. #yegbike

Got this note in the daycare app today ❤️❤️❤️ I guess Christmas came early for DaddyPedals. #christmas #parenting

Pretty similar to what I wear when I bike to work in the winter except luckily my office dress code is relaxed enough that my base layer is good enough for work.

This is a great demo! Just add a layer! #WinterBike

Hi from Alaska, Sarah! Here’s my system for those same temps, very similar to your clothes. Like you, I have poagies on my fatbike handlebars.

Many think winter cycling is extreme. Mostly it’s just getting dressed. 15 km in −19°C → winter gear to corporate attire. This is my system. #yegbike

3yo bedtime logic is epic. Sir Squawk sneaks out after bedtime, so I sit at the top of the stairs. 3: You can go now mommy, I’m asleep. Me: You can’t talk if you’re asleep. 3: (thinks) I’m sleeping like Daddy (fake snores) No notes.

I made some Christmas cookies.

It's #TreeByBike season! How are you celebrating? #CargoBike #BunchFam #Holiday Photos courtesy of @mommypedals.bsky.social & Francis in ATL.

The irony is not lost on me that the best car free place to enjoy holiday lights in Edmonton is the Alberta Legislature #yegbike #winerbike

Meanwhile... "The North American e-bike market was valued at USD 3.12 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach over USD 10 billion by 2030, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 12%."

Feedback for the 76 avenue renewal is now open! The survey takes about 10-15 minutes. #YEGbike engaged.edmonton.ca/76avenue?utm...

This week at #YEGcc @apaquette.bsky.social made a motion for admin to come up with plan to initiate a city-wide traffic safety team. This is currently UNFUNDED, and will be up for review in the fall 2025 supplemental budget adjustment. Email your councilors to make this a reality. #YEGbike

⭐️ Important engagement opportunity! #yegbike #yegwalk #yeg Find our more here: www.edmonton.ca/transportati...

There are a lot of things in need of feedback here! Please take the time to fill out the survey. A few things you may consider adding: 🧵

Bicycling to work in November #YYCBIKE #BikeToWork #Calgary

I wonder how accurate this is. If Edmonton average driving time is 20min per 10km, that's only 30km/h. I average about 21km/h on my bike. And my average speed by bike doesn't change based on rush hour traffic. Why are people driving again? #yegbike

This hits hard. I too experienced an "event" many years ago which turned out to be, what my doctor described as a mini heart attack, due to undiagnosed super high blood pressure enlarging part of my heart. Scary is an understatement. 1/ www.bikeradar.com/advice/healt...

Almost got hit twice today by cars right on red-ing without looking for pedestrians. Different intersections but both time the light had just gone green for me and they were racing to beat the oncoming traffic. Any Australian who thinks we should have the equivalent hates pedestrians

In Edmonton too, city council candidates who opposed or down-played city-wide bike infrastructure, were not-elected - except one. We're inviting #KarenPrincipe (she, who invited the Prov Minister of Transportation to interfere in Municipal jurisdiction) to join us on a bike ride. #yegbike

SAVE THE DATE: Sunday, Nov 23! Last #kidicalmass YYC Ride of 2025! After this month's ride, we will be taking a break until the spring! Join us for one last (weather-dependent) hurrah! #yycbike

Car dependency is a hell of a drug.

This is a fantastic thread about what #wintercycling is and isn't. It's not extreme, but it does add challenges that don't exist in other seasons. I love the point that snow is different from rain because rain disappears, and snow/ice can remain a problem for weeks or months if not addressed.

Milestone for the Urban Arrow today! 10,000km in 3 years, 3 months & 13 days of ownership. Puts us at just over 21,000km across all the bikes since initially going #carfree in June 2022 and being #carlite for about 9 months #yegbike

Another reason to be glad to live in a winter city. Can't imagine these will work in #yeg. I'm happy to share bike lanes with scooters, one wheels, wheelchairs, strollers etc. Little delivery robots??? Hard pass.

Another reason Bunch is the best bike company I've ever dealt with. Honestly, the best company I've ever dealt with.

“Unlike the car, the e-cargo bike afforded a unique sensitivity to the natural world and local environment [that] enabled parents to train their children in local geography and responsible mobility.” www.tandfonline.com/eprint/RW2MT...

All of #yegbike & #bikesky will love this! #Winterbiking season is here!

Happy first winter ride of the season! #YEGbike

First snow ride of the season Snow in my lashes. Ice in my brows. Nothing makes me feel more alive…except my ride home tonight without studs. #yegbike #wintercycling

#bill6 #abpoli Can someone explain why the Minister would need access to personal information about students? As a parent- I'm not ok with that. This also seems to violate POPA (which the government just passed and made effective June 11) docs.assembly.ab.ca/LADDAR_files... 1/

Good morning from @mommypedals.bsky.social Fire Department! #bunchfam #cargobike

When you promise the park after errands, but Sir Squawk falls asleep on the way to the park... My dilemma - wake him up & he's cranky, or he skips the park & is cranky. No win scenario 😂 #yegbike #parenting

Chances of the general strike happening on Nov 5?

Here's our president! It's not the cold, it's not even the gear. It's whether the infrastructure is safe. Safety begins with separated bike lanes which are properly plowed. The best standard is established in Oulu, Finland. @pekkatahkola.bsky.social can speak to what a municipality can do.

“We heard for instance, there was this whole neighbourhood of Delton (upset about bike lanes) but when push came to shove, Ashley Salvador, a bike-lane advocate, won that neighbourhood with more than half of the vote.” edmontonjournal.com/news/local-n...

Did my first winter biking in 1992. Didn’t do my second one until a few years ago. Loving it. Studded tires, homemade bar mitts, good to go.

I saw our new mayor going multi-modal this past summer. He was on a folding bike heading for the LRT. Great to see the leadership. #BikeSky #yegbike

I am starting my third winter bike commuting right here in Edmonton. It has changed my life for the better. I kept my bike parked at home only about 15 work days last year. Winter biking is fantastic - even in Yeg!

It’s not as bad as most people think! Last January I challenged myself to ride my bike every day for a month and it was doable. Our average temp for that month is only -10C.

This can't be understated! The new mayor of Edmonton is a year round (yes, even in winter!!!) cyclist. And my ward elected a councillor who was a city transit operator. I have high hopes for what this council means for active transportation and transit. #yegcc

#yegbike the best bike season of the year is coming! Are you ready? #winterbike

SAVE THE DATE: Kidical Mass YYC's Halloween Ride will be Sunday, Oct 19. Meet at Phil & Sebastian in Mission and ride to Lindsay Park Playground. Hope to see you there, #yycbike ! #kidicalmass

Excellent message in @mommypedals.bsky.social's latest video: women's bike use is the 'indicator species' for the quality of a city's urban design and policies. #bikesky

There should be reverse Strava heat maps. Those spaces women don't go at certain times of day or year (or at all)? Don't build active travel infrastructure through them. If women can't run around a park/down a road at night fearless then they'll not cycle through there as part of a journey either.

We were just talking about gender and mode of transportation the other day.

The video is up! Many thanks to @markiemoose.ca for directing, recording & editing 🙏🏼 If you're in Edmonton, join us October 18th. Bring your favourite old bike, wear your best tweed www.instagram.com/reel/DPZH8_C... #bikesky #yegbike
