Rolled up to cabin with 0km of range cuz our battery didn't charge overnight. #yycbike

Wow. It's so nice out today. I think it's time to take the girlies on a little bike ride. #yycbike

We're now live, wherever you get your podcasts! feeds.captivate.fm/happiness-of...

Headed up to Huntington Hills afterwards. Lucky for a driver who got stuck trying to turn around, Hudson Rd was closed so I got rerouted by the school. He was spinning his tires & there was no else one around, so I stopped to help him out. 14th Street pathways were already plowed at 10 am. #yycbike

Was a wet ride to school this morning #yycbike, but all in all mostly enjoyable. I am tired of heavy snowfall though, I have to say.

a certain centrist party here could, you know, start talking about transit investments that they, you know, might implement if people were excited enough to vote for them...

Relevant in Alberta where the province refuses to do anything that would encourage people to leave the car at home.

This is a major indictment of federal inaction re: car tech. For years, automakers sold consumers on Level 2 systems by implying (seldom outright saying) that drivers need not focus on the road. The feds -- NHTSA, FTC, Congress -- have never forced the car co's to stop. Now confusion reigns.

Some exciting news! 🙊 My friend, @kmadmclean.bsky.social & I are launching a podcast! We'll be exploring community, & the intersections between psychology, well-being, & our built environments. Our first episode drops next week. Follow us on IG (@HappyCommonsPod) to stay in the loop!

Thinking of @tinybeaches.bsky.social on our ride home last night. It was a chilly spring day, hovering around -10C. Calgary is a winter bicycling city. #yycbike

I spoke to @carterlavin.bsky.social about some of the most common mistakes people made when advocating for better transportation in our cities youtu.be/7d2gkfikNfs

So while our winter riding program has officially ended for the school year, Mother Nature didn’t get the message 😂. The students at Queen Elizabeth High School didn’t seem to mind and we have a feeling the pathways and. #yycbike routes are going to be busy next winter!

Jonathan Pie on NDP-style socialism:

Our family doing some errands and going for coffee, in Calgary, by bike. Ebikes make it even easier for active transportation! #yycbike #gobybike

Is anyone in #yycbike planning to go to the @sustainableyyc.bsky.social Panel Discussion and AGM tonight? Reflection on the Connaught Open Street project and the future of public spaces in Calgary is on the agenda tonight, topics that I enjoy considering so so much!

Slippery out there today. We couldn't make headway on the road & had to switch to sidewalk riding. Thank you to everyone out there shoveling this morning! #yycbike

It wasn't until my late 30s that I realized we don't have to follow the boring, textbook "adult" progression of driving everywhere. Discovering e-cargo bikes reconnected me with the youthful joy of riding. It puts actual fun back into the mundane reality of day-to-day mobility.

@whoalansi.bsky.social who knew?!?!?!

@tinybeaches.bsky.social this type of energy is...fun

I showed my kids my presentation. They thought it was cool that I was "on TV". My oldest said, everyone should get the chance to bike around like we do. 🥹🥹🥹 @mykeatkinson.bsky.social #yyccc #yycbike

5. But let’s be clear— listening & learning must result in TIMELY decisions for urgent crises. The tactic of always calling for “more process” is just that — a tactic. And there’s no avoiding that many of the biggest decisions facing cities WILL be initially unpopular. More process won’t avoid that.

This thread is partially inspired by Calgary, where right now rich, shady forces, and certain council members, want to undo “blanket rezoning” (they want it to sound sinister, but it was just a new zoning bylaw for the city that, among other things, enabled more infill housing). Don’t fall for it.

I did it! Thanks to @moreneighboursyyc.bsky.social for getting me up there. The only thing that would have made it better is if someone had asked me about winter biking! 😜 #yycbike #yyccc

At this rate, I'm not making critical mass tonight 🙃 #yyccc

I've been down at the municipal building all morning and now into the afternoon in hopes of getting to speak. Oof.

Psych! Those afternoon panels took forever so I called it and will go back tomorrow. If you were on the fence about signing up to speak, do it!! Your voice matters (even if you just wanna say, I love Calgary but I want my children to one day be able to move out of my house...or I wanna age in place)

I didn't think I'd be speaking today, but there's lots of no shows so looks like I'm heading downtown soon. I'm speaking on density & the cost of car dependency. #yycbike #yyccc

So close ABC, come on!

So TIL that you can bike from MP to Winsport, but you might need a construction crew to let you through some fencing & then you will probably run into like 50 paths that just abruptly end & have to backtrack around an entire roundabout to find the one sidewalk that goes over hwy 1. #yycbike

Nice closure on 5th with no warning and no detour. This is one of the reasons I rarely use this cycle track. #yycbike

Sorry your booth did not escape unscathed, @bikebikeyyc.bsky.social but the girls bike kitties are enjoying the streamers 😂🙃 #yycbike

If you are worried about the cost of getting an E-Cargo bike, you should see the cost of staying exactly where you are.

Hey Calgary! If you're looking for something fun to do this weekend, be sure to pop by the Alberta Bike Show/Outdoor Show at the BMO! #calgary #bikes #livelifeoutside

So when he bragged about grabbing women by the pussy, you were cool with that? When he made fun of a handicapped reporter, you were cool with that? When he had a mob attack the capital to steal the election, you were cool with that? But now gas is expensive so you regret your vote? Yeah?

"Since becoming mayor in '14, Hidalgo has rolled out policies restricting car use while incentivizing cycling. Her strategy has worked: Paris automotive traffic fell by around half in the two decades, while the number of bicycle lanes increased 6x. Bikes now make twice as many journeys as cars."

Want to put more money in pockets to help with the costs of raising a family? Invest in infrastructure that doesn’t create expensive car dependency. 👇 #yycBike #BikeTO #yegBike

Hello Calgary 👋 bsky.app/profile/dutc...

Ev and I are on a date today & we came to the central library. There are so many bike racks but lots of loitering & drug use happening & random cars parked on the sidewalk. Keep thinking it sure would be nice to have a free bike valet nearby. #yycbike

Can you sense my bewilderment here? First time riding this route & I was truly at a loss for what was going on. Also, super annoying to press that beg button on a bakfiets. #yycbike

I guess we've been onto something when the IEA is saying the same thing. #driveless

We made it to #CoffeeOutside despite forgetting gloves & running very late. Drizzly, foggy ride, but should warm up later today. #yycbike

Yesterday's school run. A rode her bike & this wasn't as bad as it sometimes is, but still so dangerous. #yycbike We need a school street!

Just a typical day at this intersection. Ban RTOR. All of those cars are supposed to stop at the stop line. Not one of them did. The first white SUV stopped past the line, but the others didn't even bother. This is like this every day, during every light cycle. #yycbike @djkelly.ca

Oh dang, didn't expect 'em to run an opinion piece on bluesky. Please read this. It'd make my grandma so proud knowing I'd been published in the Strib.

We got a DM the other day with a fun request from a local family: Could we find this nice BART train operator who always waved and beeped at this special little rider? And if we found him, could we deliver him a thank you card!?  So we got to work …
