Tomorrow morning. Come join a peaceful ride for remembrance

Another great example of those who spout the importance of Free Speech working to stifle other people's speech and the rights and responsibilities that journalists have

Hey #yycbike, anybody else noticed the new pathway on the north side of 90 Ave SW from 24 St to Glenmore Landing? It'll be a great way to avoid pathway congestion in that area during busy weekends, and is flatter / more direct compared to the path thru the park.

Amazing recovery.

When is the General Strike?

Reminder that duck tape and stickers can turn those ugly #yyc election signs into a great fender. #yycbike #upcycling

Side note, in case you’re curious… The Sam Vimes theory of socioeconomic unfairness (aka boots theory) is an economic theory that people in poverty are forced to buy cheap, subpar products that need to be replaced repeatedly.

Oh my look at the friend I found today - you should t be out in November. I moved it from the aster to a cat mint that still has flowers. Hopefully it finds a safe winter home. Ps so much easier to take photos when they are sluggish!

How cute - an assortment of witches and princesses just came by chanting "let's go Blue Jays" instead of trick or treat.

Does a body know info on muskrat migration / dispersal? I saw a muskrat in this storm pond and I cant figure how it got there considering the kms of houses and 4 lane roads to the nearest natural area. maps.app.goo.gl/gAsEzUr7LaPr...

Hey #yycbike - join the ride. Sunday Nov 9 10am at Field of Crosses

Maybe, just maybe police could start enforcing traffic laws - charging everybody speeding, running red lights, failing to stop for pedestrians. Drivers think it is their right to go as fast as they bloody well please because there are no consequences

Folks told me the silver lining to bike theft is new bike day... Hmm 45 minutes to find new light is faulty and I am not an idiot who can't operate it 30 minutes and a lost washer spacer thingy to put a different saddle on (havent yet figured if its set right) Not fun. But I got a couple stickers

It isn't called sharing on bluesky

Today I found this cool fungus with blades of smooth brome grown through it. Now I wonder can the fungus grow fast enough to trap a leaf? Could a brome grow through the fungus (and why wouldn't it grow around instead?) Any mycologists who might have insights? #fungi

So hard getting geared up mentally to ride as it shifts to cooler weather. I know it'll be fine once we get going and get used to it again but damn the blanket on the couch is so much more appealing today. #yycbike

We had 45-ish neighbours and friends over last night for a pizza party and to raise money for CKUA radio. So grateful for the good folks around. If you can help CKUA please do. www.justgiving.com/page/backyar... Or direct thru CKUA.COM

@ckua.com.web.brid.gy First and last pizzas from our Backyard Bounty pizza party. 45 folks fed, many laughs and such good cheer.

When its snack time, its snack time. Don't bother me. #beavers

More details : garage door glitched and didn't close properly. Lucky @ratliw.bsky.social, he'd dropped off his favourite at our LBS yesterday. Unlucky me, I'd prepped my winter ride for the upcoming season. Sigh. I hope there's a short theif trying to ride Will's monster bike! Here's dets:

Fuck..our garage got robbed last night - my winter bike, my regular ride, Will's road bike, and our daughter's bike all gone. Will get details up and reports to police and bike index later @ratliw

Well folks the Dinos are innthe pumpkin patch eagerly awaiting that special visitor in a couple weeks... Thanks to @ratliw.bsky.social for the help

I enjoyed this. youtu.be/9k7OUowPPMQ

Remember when it was too intrusive to ask the Premier if she had been vaccinated? Now we have to announce details of our health to umpteen folks to get a vaccination. And our daughters have to prove they have a vagina to play sports.

So... bandit camping - does that include pitching your tent in a closed campground count? Totally asking for a friend... @bikebikeyyc.bsky.social

I need to say a few words about Darren. He was, in many ways, the doctor all doctors needed to be. Compassionate, caring, an advocate and a poet. We were all privliged to have him in our world. And we are poorer for his departure from it. Wherever you are, I hope there are paddles and pedals.

I asked the historian, who studies the dark times, how it has come to this and she replied: it’s because we have failed to take care of each other. So I asked her if we will get through this and she replied: if we do it will be because we took care of each other.

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...

Goodbye Manfred. I wonder how long it will be before I stop looking for him in the front window where he usually waited for us to come home.

I usually forget to take photos of the mundane errands - mind you the garlic and mushrooms in my pannier yesterday wouldn't show. Today I picked up 10kg of sugar and 4l of milk on the way home from an appointment #carryshitolympics @americanfietser.bsky.social

Absolute truth.

@wishartae.bsky.social Do they snooze with their eyes open?

.I hear we are cute posting... Red squirrel napping in our lodgepole pine

Well that's not Beep Beep!

This is horrifying. Even having someone with her every day the care facility couldn't be bothered to care for Norma.

By Alberta's own definition of "visual depiction of a sexual act," I fail to see how these images highlighted in UCP government's own slide show of explicit material. From Alison Bechdel's Fun Home. many of the other scenes in province's shock-intended examples don't qualify, either

Oh I love this! Reminds me of the time driving and standing right beside the sign that said "Wildlife Viewing Area" was a beautiful bull moose.

Hey #yycbike just saw this on FB

Back to school Dinos. Hope everybody gets to enjoy the last long weekend of summer

If this is what the drug companies are charging, why is the Alberta Government going to make people pay ~$100 per dose? “Moderna and Pfizer were charging more affluent nations and the EU for their mRNA vaccines with prices ranging from $14.70 to $23.50 a dose.” pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

Hey #yycbike, there's a #forevercanadian petition sign up at Glennfield in Fish Creek Park.

Anybody else find it absurdly fun to bike under Chinook mall? It'd be better without the speed bumps. Also the video makes it look much brighter than it is down there. #yycbikel

Can any #plant people explain this? We are growing assorted beans. The purple beans turn green when we boil or steam them. But after turning green we dehydrated them and they went back to purple!

Went #bikepacking with @ratliw and friends this weekend into the foothills sw of Calgary. Love being able to find wilderness an hour from the city. #bikebikeovernight #yyycbike
