Youth en Route was proud to be recognized by Alberta Recreation & Parks Assoc with an award to recognize our work empowering youth in #yyc youtu.be/5RnRBOwR8O0?...

Just a week until #givingtuesday Please consider #youthenroute and Give Freedom. Our quote today is from a student after they'd had a few months to enjoy their new skills and bike. www.zeffy.com/en-CA/donati...

There is zero political will in Calgary to do anything about the never ending bloodbath on our roads. So sad. So senseless. And zero interest from leadership to stop it.

Another horrendous, yet completely preventable tragedy. Spoke to #yyccc about this. Yes, traffic lights. But also slower speed limits are needed.

this is great! #mayorontrain Also, great work on keeping those of us who go off script in line. Hope it doesn't go until 10 p.m again!

Argh. #yyccc can't believe I had my timing off and got cut off! My presentation should be in the agenda! Thanks to everyone for listening!

Kidical Mass this weekend! #calgary

Another lock library ready to go to a school - this time Father Lacombe HS. This is a simple way to encourage bike riding for teens. No carrying heavy lock, improved security at school! #yycbike #yyccc #yyc

"It also brought out the mechanic in me because i had to pump the tyres and oil the chain." Biking delivers more than just exercise - it helps build resilience and problem solving skills. Help us deliver freedom for teens in #yyc with biking programs and #bikes www.zeffy.com/en-CA/donati...

"It has helped me and my family a lot. When we need to do small errands that are close by, we don’t need to use the car. It’s really efficient for us all." #yycbike Quote from a student after they received a bike from #youthenroute Please help us #givefreedom: www.zeffy.com/en-CA/donati...

Hey, pop into the City of Calgary Climate Symposium webinar on our FCC climate resiliency grant. Just about to start! #yycbike #yycccc

Oooohhhhh. This looks great! very excited to share with @youthenroute.bsky.social and students!

We've been asking kids how they use the bikes we've given them. For #givingtuesday we are sharing the comments. Listen and you can hear your donation at work! Consider our small charity to deliver freedom to more kids this giving season. www.zeffy.com/en-CA/donati... #yycbike #yycgiving #charity

Leading medical publication the British Medical Journal recognises SUVs as a danger to public health in a new editorial co-authored by T&E’s James Nix: bit.ly/4hVDlBC Large SUVs are a danger to pedestrians, cyclists & other drivers. It's time to take action to reduce their presence in urban areas.

Things have felt so busy this month & I haven't had a chance to promote #kidicalmass too much, but we are doing one more ride before taking a break for winter. Join us November 23 at 11 am from the Simmons in the East Village. Route decisions TBD by weather. #yycbike

Hey #abpoli #yyccc I think we need this in #AB I would have thought that this was already pretty obvious, but guess we need to make it more so.

Speed kills, kids. Guaranteed this move will lead to more crashes with more severe outcomes. I'd be curious what local police and fire think about this proposal from Alberta's transport minister who seems to consistently do the opposite of what is safe. #roadsafety calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu...

Hey #ucp . . . this is you in alberta

#yyc #yycbike #Hallowheelin #Halloween

Really interesting article. We'd fully support these changes to make bike repair a valued trade leading to rewarding careers! #yycbike

Don't forget, we're going to be Hallowheelin' with @calgaryclimatehub.ca on Saturday. We have a hunch there might be some ghoulish, bike-sucking vampires on the prowl - bring some garlic, or follow bike locking best practices to avoid theft! Ride leaves from City Hall at 10 a.m. #yycbike

This looks FUN. I wish I could make it.

Hey we're Hallowheelin' with the @calgaryclimatehub.ca It's sure to be a fun, easy ride, with lots of trick and treats. Ride Starts at 10 a.m. at City Hall. Sign up here: www.calgaryclimatehub.ca/hallowheelin #yycbike

YES!

🎃 Grab your costume, hop on your wheels, and join our friends at the Calgary Climate Hub for Hallowheelin’! On Saturday, October 25 from 10 a.m. – 12:30 p.m., they’re rolling out from Calgary City Hall for a spooky, family-friendly bike parade packed with fun, prizes, and climate spirit. #yycbike

What you and 2 wheel view do are huge, but we have to normalize kids getting around at a younger age, and bike bus does that. There are challenges but we have to start. My kids walked or biked to school and as adults "drive" is not their first thought. We need more people growing up with that.

this is very true. And to be frank, we NEED people of means and ability to be leaders. Change starts with those who have power. A very smart person once explained to me that this is why us settlers HAVE to speak for Indigenous rights, why we have to be vocally anti-racist etc.

Bike Bus isn't THE solution. It's not even the long term solution, IMO. Bike Bus & Kidical Mass both highlight the need for safe routes to school. For me, the bigger picture is normalizing kids walking & biking ON THEIR OWN so alarm bells don't go off every time you see a kid using these skills.

This is what the political map is looking like for Calgary’s municipal election results, with blue being more conservative and red more progressive. Ward 12 is still too close to call. Where have we’ve seen this sort of map before? Hint: The second image is from last provincial election. #Calgary

Hey #yyccc Safer and cleaner sounds good to me. #yycbike

The Sprawl started this candidate list last November. Now it's complete. Bios of all 122 candidates running in the October 20 election (including trustee candidates), with links to their websites. Pass it along to anyone who needs it! #yyccc

This is so awesome! way to go #yycbike

good question
