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!

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.

Is enforcement the answer to a deadly year on Calgary roads?

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! 🚲🥰

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.
