The Falling Of The Leaves Autumn is over the long leaves that love us, And over the mice in the barley sheaves; Yellow the leaves of the rowan above us, And yellow the wet wild-strawberry leaves. 1/2

A doctor-organized bike ride in Québec city this Saturday morning. We were about 100 in a chilly but sunny weather. They want citizens to move more to increase their health and ask the city to build more bike lanes to support that.

You can come for the ride & coffee, sure, but those in the know know it's all about the BakeBakeYYC cookies! 🍪 🤎☕ #yycbike

PROTIP: One doesn't have to dress like a space alien to ride to the corner store.

so awesome!

Hey #yycbike, I see @ridewithgps.bsky.social is hosting a Coffee outside Oct 4th. Bummer that I wont be here but hope others enjoy it. ridewithgps.com/events/39938...

Be Seen. A New PSA

The myth of Lemming suicide has its origins in #Alberta & Disney to thank for it! The '58 film "White Wilderness" has a scene of lemmings running off a cliff into the sea. This was actually shot in #Alberta where, no sea, no arctic, no lemmings. But that's not all. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMZl...

Skid, on a skid (loader), skidding. So meta. Happy🍂Skid🍁Season! #bikesky #calgary

Almost makes me want to live in Vancouver again. Almost. Seriously...we really love the styling of this rain jacket specifically designed for urban, upright-positioned cycling. Should we offer it to our Canadian customers? www.weathergoodssweden.com/shop/rainwea...

Tired of being stuck in #traffic? If you live in one of the many parts of #edmonton that's under construction, you might be really frustrated right now. There are alternative options to being traffic. Just take a look outside the windshield. #yegbike #bikelife #yegtraffic

My kid lives in Montreal and asked for a bike...🤗...which of course I was happy to oblige. This is the message he sent after riding it for a couple weeks...🤣 #bikesrule #bikedadsdotoo

Surly's new v.2 Skid Loader cargo enhanced e-ATB is the same 'ol skid, just bettererish. And greenerer. #ebike #bikebikeyyc #skidloader #yycbike #cargobike

🍒 Another Calgary family choosing an electric cargo bike as their second vehicle instead of an expensive automobile. 🍒 The household economics of cargo bike ownership are undeniable once you look at it. 🍒 All the other positives from cargo bike ownership are just cherries on top ! #urbanarrow

anyone know what happened to the Cargo Bike Life forum?

I have to respect the self awareness this writer shows as to the source of their ebike hatred. I think this kind of self righteousness is behind a lot of acoustic bike riders hate towards e-bikes (plus some competitiveness)

What we call things reveals a lot about our priorities and biases. Graphic via @reenamahajan.bsky.social

It’s ok to kill people with your car as long as you stick around and let the police know you are the one who did it. You won’t be in trouble or anything, the police just need a name to attach to the report.

1995. A generation ago.

River Hall in the downtown west end along the pathway system is a beauty. A much needed amenity that gets great usage. Such a shame that it is only running about 1 month this year (weekends only). I had no idea this weekend is the last one for it in 2025.

Sorry, not sorry, but if you hit someone with your car and injure or in this case, kill them, you should be charged whether you fled the scene or not. Blaming a shadow caused by a tree is peak #motornormativity. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... #roadsafety

Hi bsky 👋. Did you know I have a podcast? It’s called Energy vs Climate and I’ve been away for the past year but I’m back and if you have never listened before we have a whole back catalogue with some cool stuff. Here is a pick of some favourites from a range of different kinds of topics/shows

"The multi-billion-dollar bailouts of U.S. car companies in Canada during the 2008 financial crisis suggested we might get something in return. We did. Gas-guzzling behemoths in the form of pickup trucks" www.torontotoday.ca/local/opinio...

anyone who opposes tyranny, in any of it's forms, is antifa

The ebike is absolute peak urban transportation. I can wear normal clothes, carry plenty of stuff, make it up hills with ease, and I even beat the bus on the way home today.

Smart person 👇

Gave up waiting for an affordable EV car, and instead got an affordable ecargo bike. We needed affordable EV cars 20 years ago, we can't wait longer for the people in power to get their shit straight. Good affordable ecargo bikes are here now, and are actually better for urban transport anyway!

Dolly and me. #yycbike #whatsinyourbasket #errandsbybike

This headline is fucking awful. A driver struck a child with their vehicle and left them with serious, life-altering injuries. Twisting that into “youth cyclist hurt in crash” and not even mentioning the fact that a driver was involved at all is 🤬🤬🤬

I hope the Lawyers representing the family are able to get the Driver’s cellphone usage for the time/day of the accident.

This is awful and could have happened to anyone of our children. Our hearts go out to the friends and family of this young person. This wasn't a crash, it is a result of cars-before-people city design, and was completely preventable. #yycbike #yyccc calgary.citynews.ca/2025/09/16/y...

Every Calgary politician making cynical, data-free attacks on #BikeLanes needs to answer for this. Looking RIGHT AT YOU, #JeffDavison & #DanMcLean. Will you make #YYC safer for our kids or more dangerous? #yyc #yyccc #CityBuilding calgary.citynews.ca/2025/09/16/y...

Absolutely! That's why the Bike Bus has been so key for us & many other families. & also why I'm not giving up on the school street or 20th avenue bike lane. My kids might not get the full benefits of either of these, but they're so needed.

Brompton has made some absolute banger videos that do this super well (and make me want to quit my job and do bike videography) www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqRy...

Don't market recreation, market a lifestyle.

Thank you #yyccc for voting down in a resounding defeat that asinine NoM from the Retrograde Communities Party members to rescind the climate emergency declaration.

Human beings are not cognitively or psychologically equipped to safely and responsibly operate cars. The fact we have normalized it is truly wild.

Warm fuzzies here 🤗 Exciting to be getting going again with B4H Calgary. We're now a drop off point for donations. Check out these wonderful humans here -> b4h-calgary.org #yycbike

And no, an apologetic wave and yelling “my bad“ out the window doesn’t erase the fact that you could’ve killed me you fucking asshole
