Saying cargo bikes and e-bikes shouldn't exist because they take up too much space and are too dangerous (not maneuverable at all and accelerate too fast) is a bad take. It's ableist and contributes nothing to fixing the issues we're seeing with vehicle-related injuries.

the belief that air and car travel are superior is a uniquely North American thing and while it may have been glamorous back in the day it’s not that cool anymore

Got our hands on a brand new Frog bike to level up Annika's riding (& so we can return @asadc.bsky.social 's Frog 44, which we are so grateful to him for lending us. Seriously changed the game for her to learn to ride on such a nice bike!) #yycbike

Day 1 of @bunchbike.com #CarFreeChallenge yesterday and we checked off "Learn a new bike skill" when we picked up a new bike for Annika, with gears. #yycbike

Giving cycling a tiny piece of roadway space yields big results.

"Montréal is often hailed as the most “biking-friendly” city in North America. But our research has found that only 2.3 per cent of the city’s roadways are allocated to bike infrastructure, with car infrastructure occupying the remaining 97.7 per cent of road space." #yycbike

Part of the issue with people saying you can't cycle in winter/rain/wind/whatever is because they haven't tried and if they did they'd find out it's almost always fine but another is that we've normalised driving in unsafe conditions and, crucially, being expected to drive in unsafe conditions.

Facts. @calgary.ca @yycplan.bsky.social looking at your vision zero page, I don't see any tangible next steps. How about some design changes to make our roads safer, especially for our youngest citizens? Asking people to stay off their phones or drive to conditions isn't going to do a whole lot.

Welcome to City Council DJ Kelly.

I feel like kids are often left out of the discourse on bike lanes, especially in the media. Children have had enough of their independence stripped; there should be a focus on returning that. Bike lanes are a great tool.

Area man who became wealthy being paid by taxpayers for 20 years complains about government program.

A little snippet of today's #kidicalmass ride today. Brings me so much joy to see these kids crush it on their bikes! #yycbike

Wrapping up a most perfect last summer day #Calgary #yycbike

Tomorrow is #KidicalMass YYC!!! #yycbike More info: linktr.ee/kidicalmassyyc

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...

If you've ever had to care for an aging family member (or watch family members do so), it's pretty crazy to see how true this is & how engrained it is that part of getting old is losing virtually all of your independence.

KIDICAL MASS IS THIS SUNDAY! Bring your helmets, bikes, friends, kids, & smiles! More Info: linktr.ee/kidicalmassyyc

this is the reality for basically every #ebike owner who is using it in the city: ...and politicians have no idea.

Every time a city prioritizes non-car travel, pedestrianizes thoroughfares, expands transit, improves bike networks, implements congestion pricing or creates new public spaces, that city becomes better. It’s not a war on cars. It’s an effort to make cities better & more livable.

We are witnessing corporate cowardice across the globe. The gap between rich and poor has never been bigger. The ultra rich are trying to divide and distract us. Let's hope that progressive politicians/political parties act on this. @jamestalarico.bsky.social is an example of someone who is.

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

Wednesday #BikeBus (with some bad driver behaviour & a warning that we aren't visible to drivers due to the sun). #yycbike

As someone who LOVES train travel, this NJB video makes me feel a lot of things—sadness that Harper cut so much funding in 2012, anger that roads are so heavily subsidized & expensive highway upgrade projects are never questioned, nostalgia for good train travel, & joy about the lovely journey.

We're going to be posting some recaps from e-bike-a-palooza featuring our partners very soon, but first - Alderman Vasquez (@andrefor40th.bsky.social) trying out riding in an Urban Arrow electric cargo bike, piloted by Jon from JC Lind! Could you see a cargo ebike being handy in your life?

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...

I’ve mentioned it before but it’s happened again: a very large percentage of our child-related travel is medium-distance trips that don’t line up well with transit (so it’s barely faster than walking) but biking is literally as fast as driving. Bike-friendly cities are family-friendly cities!

Transit is still useful for lots of trips, but the idea that cities should set aside the "distraction" of bike infrastructure and focus on transit instead is a recipe for more people having to buy a car. If we only had transit and not bikes, we'd either need a car or we'd have much worse mobility.

This week, Parliament is back from summer recess. But what does an MP do all summer?

Took Sean's hill today. Whew, she steep. @bikebikeyyc.bsky.social

Yessss... Now I wanna see everyone's! This is way better than "what's in my bag".

I'm going on a girl's trip to Victoria at the end of October. Any cargo bike friends have any favourite spots. I like drinking good coffee with a view, brewery breaks, looking at the ocean, riding bikes (obvi), french pastries...

Absolutely! That's why our daily mini bike bus & bigger wednesday bike buses are so important IMO!

Join us next Sunday for our second #KidicalMass ride. This family friendly bike ride will start at 10:30 am. Meet at Deville Coffee Kensington at 10 am and ride together through Sunnyside before heading over to Riley Park Playground. More info & sign up: linktr.ee/kidicalmassyyc

What's in my cargo bike? - Kidical Mass flyers! - Baguette from Mari Bakeshop - Iced Latte - Helmets - Spare Sandals - Kids water bottles - Jean Jacket - Colouring Books - A sit upon - Chain locks #yycbike #kidicalmass #transportnotsport

it should be obvious, but THIS👇🏼

Sitting at lil Empire in Bridgeland watching car after car roll through the stop signs. #yycbike

These two rode almost 15k today (we towed Ev's bike down the curling club hill & back up, but otherwise she rode herself). They've made such huge biking strides this year & I'm so proud of them both. #yycbike

Join us on Sunday, September 21, 2025 for our second Kidical Mass YYC ride. This family friendly bike ride will start at 10:30 am. Meet at Deville Coffee Kensington at 10 am and ride together through Sunnyside before heading over to Riley Park Playground.

I'm going to keep reposting this because it is offers so much insight into the power of cargo bikes to transform mundane errands into a radically fun way to get around. Cargo bikes are the transformative, and I dare say, revolutionary technology, our society needs more of right now.

"Vision Zero requires more than rhetoric — it demands action to eliminate known risks. RTOR is one such risk that can be eliminated. As vehicle mass, speed, and acceleration increase, vulnerable road users face growing threats." #yyccc #roadsafety

Cycling's a boon in winter, too. Turns out the winter weather wasn't the obstacle, maintenance and design were.

On street parking for the family SUV? This is the type that I support. #paris #15minutecity #urbanism #cargobike #bike #parking #welgo

Sad as hell that (another) family has lost a loved one to gun violence

I'm on School Council w/ another cargo bike mom, & she asked me if I could help her bring 150 lbs worth of pancake batter over to the school with her (for our BTS Pancake Breakfast). I happily agreed. When I met her at her house, she told me someone asked why she wasn't just using her car. #yycbike

Working on the route for Kidical Mass on Sept 21, 2025. Here's what I've come up with. Avoids some tricky crossings with the c-train & could end with a final loop of Riley Park. Any thoughts from people who probably know this hood better than me? #yycbike ridewithgps.com/routes/52610...

Edmonton kids take 'bike bus' to school

Good Morning, #BikeBus! These kiddos are getting so fast. Here's a minute from the start of our ride & a minute from the end. #yycbike

#BikeBus mornings are back & our mini bus has grown so much in just a year. It brings me so much joy! #yycbike

In this house we always support Kidical Mass!!! Want to join the fun but you're not a kid? Show up as a volunteer to help cork the ride! #yycbike
