The final row in the count up to 350,000 riders on Calgary’s 5 St SW Cycle track is complete as of today Oct 6, 2025. There are 86 days left this year, meaning the cycle track has had an average of 1,255 riders/day. That sounds like a successful and well used cycle track! 😀 #yycbike #Calgary

I’m so mad I started carrying this sign around with me where ever I went last week. When I am not out and about it’s in my front window. You too can carry a sign or put it in your window. Funding education should not be controversial.

As of today, there is one LED row left on the progress tracker at 5 St SW cycle track. At this pace it will max out by Oct 10 with 82 days left in the year. 🤔 When the counter runs out with still a quarter of the year left, it’s obviously above expected utilization! 🤔 #yycbike #Calgary

Thank you to our teachers who are fighting for our kids and standing strong against this government! I support Alberts teachers!

📚✏️ At Bathtub Bikes, we believe in stronger communities, and that starts with supporting our teachers. Education funding matters! let’s cut the excuses, not the classrooms. Proud to stand with the Alberta Teachers’ Association 💛 #YYC

I am really impressed with the temporary basketball ball court set up in the new Eau Claire plaza. What a great way to activate the space between events. Also the trampoline at the adjacent park is lots of fun!

“Write down what you value; what standards you hold for yourself... Write a list of things you would never do. Because it is possible that in the next year, you will do them. Write a list of things you would never believe. Because it is possible that in the next year, you will…”

Pedestrians, and drivers are human, we all make mistakes. In other jurisdictions when there is an accident they fix the design of the problem area. Let’s build a city where mistakes are not fatal. - Reduce speed limits - Divide modes of transportation with physical barriers not paint #yyccc #yyc

I came across this map and it got me thinking. I am sure we all agree that in 1000 years we won't be burning NG here in AB. What will become of all this capital?

This is amazing till that 24s mark. How sad to be that driver, and so angry. Otherwise what a beautiful way to get your kids to school!

Awful. Hope the kid makes a full recovery. I see too many drivers treating those community streets like their own personal drag strip.

People in cars only looking for other cars 😢💔

NEW STORY: The push to 'conservatize' Calgary's public school board. Six CBE trustee candidates have campaign materials that look identical—so we took a closer look. #yyccc #ableg

A kid on a bike was hit by an adult driving a car in a city designed to prioritize vehicles instead of children. My thoughts are with the child’s parents hoping for a complete and quick recovery. Please please please🙏 calgary.citynews.ca/2025/09/16/y...

A totally normal commute in Alberta where Green Energy is forbidden, Oil & Gas is a given and wheeling lanes are threatened #yycbike #firetheucp #smokedays @seumasb.bsky.social

We're witnesses to a crime against the planet and everything in it. Big Oil is committing omnicide.

Leave it to @thebikinglawyer.bsky.social to get to the point! #Calgary #yycbike

“Massive nonlinear events in the global environment give rise to ​massive nonlinear societal events.​” We still fail to incorporate this reality in our thinking. The climate crisis is the context in which everything else is happening.

Another great option to quickly address the issue is to lower residential street speed limits to 30km/h. If Airdrie can do 30km/h so can Calgary.🤷‍♂️

It looks like a dystopian land scape out side but it’s just the first day of school in Calgary; going into over crowded underfunded schools with book bans attempting to stop us from questioning what got us here and how to fix it.

Air Quality not so great for first day of school in #yyc #Maskup

How many teachers would your neighborhood school have if AB students were funded equal to the national average? I have been having fun posting this link with screenshots of local schools on different community FB pages. abteach.cc/StudentFundi... #ABEd

Riding bikes is 10X more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities. And that’s just the climate emissions. Doesn’t include the massive public & personal cost difference, the air & noise pollution difference, the massive space difference, etc, etc. Via @theconversation.bsky.social

After five months of total Israeli military blockade, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians are experiencing the horrific effects of starvation. Already, over 150 Palestinians have died from malnutrition, with thousands more on the brink of death. Video by @mondoweiss.net

Denmark requires children to take weekly empathy classes, which has led to low bullying rates, and high graduation & employment rates. A version of this should be a requirement for engaging in placemaking convos re: housing, active transportation, street-based harassment, police profiling, etc.

Saddened by the passing of community advocate, Janice Paskey. We didn’t always agree but she was the first one to encourage me to use my voice to advocate for safe wheeling lanes. She had more she wanted to do. Like actively working on a list of agenda items to make WHCA better. Such a big loss.

In late 2023, Amsterdam introduced a 30 km/h limit. A large number of arterials were lowered from 50 km/h, 4,500 signs installed, 140 lights reconfigured, and 200 km of markings adjusted. Aiming to improve safety, liveability and accessibility, 80% of the road network is now at this critical speed.🧵

Why does the CBE continue to forbid air filters in schools when THIS is our kids' foreseeable future? This year on a bad day, I measured the indoor air at our CBE school - it was in the "unhealthy" category. CBE admins are cowards. Shouldn't the unions care? Someone? #ABed #ABhealth #YYC

Driver of white pickup hits and kills child. Headline fixed. #Calgary

Stop this. Road violence is a result of choices, decisions, and cruel indifference. We are a broken society unmoved to adopt proven solutions that appear to inconvenience drivers but result in spared injuries and lives. She was a toddler. He drove a pickup. calgaryherald.com/news/young-g...

*A Young Girl was Killed. We see headlines like this every single day. When are we going to take this seriously? This doesn’t just happen. We built our city this way.

With the QEII backed up last night we came into the city via RR13. My observation is new communities are being built with insanely wide roads. But also saw this double curb at the W corner of Harvest and Contry Hills Blvd that I am wondering why we are not using in residential areas more often?

Apparently women use to wear this contraption to hold thier pads in place before stickers were created?

As of July 1st, CO2 Monitors are mandatory in all Dutch classrooms. Why not in Austria? @schumannkorinna.bsky.social @andibabler.at @goeg.at Don't our elected officals care about the kids and their future?

Has any Ward 7, 8 or 9 Candidate talked about Oneway streets in Calgary? Seems like it would be a great way to further rejuvenate downtown.🤷‍♂️ #Calgary youtu.be/eNslRSeP7Cw?...

“Dreeshen is incorrect that it's 2% vs. 98%, as the non-cycling total also includes transit users and people walking into downtown; drivers and passengers account for 59% of downtown visits, according to city statistics.” @markusoff.bsky.social www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

A message to Calgary City Council from a resident who uses a mobility scooter: We need more bike lanes. From @ward9harrison.bsky.social’s Instagram www.instagram.com/reel/DMh_FDS...

Youth En Route helps students with the wheel deal: a free bike to help them get to school come the fall, and this summer, open the doors to the city.

One month from today, school will start again in Calgary. This weekend, do a test ride biking to school with your kid. Figure out what route is best, where they’ll park and what lock they’ll use. This fall, say goodbye to the school drop off line! #Calgary

#yyc can you imagine what curb parking would do for the businesses along 14th Street? Instead of funneling cars past our communities it would create a more pleasant pedestrian experience and become a place people want to spend time.

The real reason for the dangerous heat around the world right now. @climatechris.bsky.social breaks it down:

Alex, you have an amazing way of delivering your message. Can you find a way to get the concept of this graph communicated? Residential streets would be so much safer if we drove slower.

More respect from drivers would be nice. The city could tackle this with educational back-of-transit buses ads focusing on respecting all road users. Drivers would see them when stuck in traffic #yycbike
