Choosing to ride a bike for transport in your community is a simple but powerful🖕to the lie that is the frictionless economy. Friction is where life is.

I have been told we are posting perfect '90s albums

We might be a small bike shop but selling over a million dollars worth of cargo bikes into our local community over these last few years is something we are incredibly proud of. And inspired, by all those Calgary cargo bike families who are showing their communities a fun way to live. Bravo, you!

Classic Calgary 20 degree temperature swing incoming!

Neato. A chart that describes our bike shop.

Yes. In addition to long-term street redesigns, we need to enforce traffic laws. We currently have a culture that doesn’t consider road rules (like speed limits) to be legitimate or real. Some jurisdictions — Ontario, Alberta — have banned/restricted automated speed enforcement. That’s bonkers.

Zoo Lights! #yycbike

The parking lot at Still Creek Costco was utterly gridlocked. The line of cars extended all the way back onto the Hwy 1 ovepass bus lane. I parked instantly in the bike rack right next to the entrance, and fit everything I wanted on my e-bike! 🚲🥰

A cry for e-bike regulations that leaders can't, or possibly simply refuse, to hear.

Holiday shop hours: 23rd (today) 11am-6pm 24th 11am-3pm Closed Dec.25th thru January 1st. Reopening on our regular hours January 2. Webstore open for shipping 24/7. #bikeshoplife #yycbike

Practical bikes for everyone, aliens included.

Ya, no. If I see one of these in one of our bike lanes, it's going be out of action pronto.

One day, another parent (@kaphryn.bsky.social) is going to reach out to you about starting a Kidical Mass ride in your city. It's very important that you run with this idea & start that ride. #kidicalmass #yycbike linktr.ee/kidicalmassyyc

Four months of Kidical Mass! #yycbike

The 2025 #KidicalMass (& bike bus) season might be over, but the movement is just getting started here! A heartfelt thank you to all the volunteers who made our first four rides a possibility. We couldn't do these rides with YOU. Thank you for all your support! 💕 www.instagram.com/p/DSao5Wakk1J/

One of the most powerful experiences of my life was participating in direct action/civil disobedience against clearcutting of pristine BC forests back in the 90's. Definitely recommend for young and old who want to do something that can bring positive change.

AKA The simplest way to fight back against our necrocapitalist world order is to ride a bike for transportation. BONUS: You also get to save money, increase your mental and physical health, make your community more livable, and have a bit of fun. OG post here -> www.instagram.com/p/DSRYZcUjom...

#YYCBike report: East Village bicycle lanes on 4th St SE not yet swept since yesterday’s clipper.

Calgary might as well be the poster child for this offense against children. Some days it all feels just so impossible to fix. #yyccc www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

#yycbike report: Bow north from Sunnyside to Nose creek cleared very nicely (including around the zoo). Nose creek same conditions as my quoted report. Fox hollow hill not cleared yet, had to walk some big drift sections. Side roads have nice hard pack right now that will probably soften up.

The answer is passenger rail.

Place your bet now on how many new suburban communities this new council will green light during their term. 10? 20? 30?

FYI - CLOSING AT 5PM TONIGHT #yycbike

15 min city means you can go to buy milk when you want pancakes at 9 pm on a Wednesday.

Dispatch from Hoth #yycbike

If Calgary was a real city it would plow it's sidewalks in winter.

After last nights protest ride with close to 100 cyclists and a herculean effort from local advocates, organizers, and sympathetic councillors, the City of Guelph has reversed course on plans to close bike lanes this winter! CTV piece here: www.ctvnews.ca/kitchener/ar...

Everyone wants a village but no one wants to be a villager.

It’s official. Rad Power Bikes is bankrupt. Someone will buy the brand for sure but they’ll learn quickly you can’t spend $500 on advertising for every bike you sell (that you may/not even make money on). www.bicycleretailer.com/industry-new...
