A portion of the 76 Avenue bike lane in Edmonton, looking westbound near McKernan Baptist Church.

A portion of the 76 Avenue bike lane in Edmonton, looking westbound near McKernan Baptist Church.

#yegbike conditions on 76 Ave are actually quite good, save for the area near the fire station. 83 Ave and 110 Street also good, though I fear that the windrow covering more than half of the NB lane in some areas is going to cause some isues when it begins melting.

Putting busways on existing streets are among most cost effective projects. 20% speed improvement = 20% ops savings or 20% frequency improvement at no ops cost. They're like printing cash

A move towards car-light or car-free living provides many benefits, including financial savings, health improvements, climate impact reductions, and so many more.

How Toronto reduced car traffic and tripled bike ridership on a key bike boulevard - NACTO Shaw Street was busy with bikes, but it wasnโ€™t working for everyone. There were too many motor vehicles using the street for riding to be comfortable for people who werenโ€™t confident biking, including...

Unfortunately, politicians see bikes as either a child's toy, a rich person's hobby, or a poor man's last resort.

BIG CAR has a role here too, from roads construction companies, to dealerships, all the way to auto companies, none of them want less people driving.

GDP hates more people biking.

In recent years, Bilbao has quietly built a cycling network shaped by lessons from the Netherlands: calmed where it can be, protected where it must be, and always comfortable and connected.

The result? You can now pedal across the city on infrastructure made for everyoneโ€”not just the fit and brave.

It's really disheartening to think about how little powerful leaders throughout history care about the individual lives that are lost and families that suffer and all the repercussive harm caused by totally unnecessary warfare.

China's policies to advance vehicle remanufacturing Targeted subsidies, industrial zones and funding are propelling the vehicle remanufacturing sector

China adopted the circular economy
as a national priority since 2009 recognising it can generate growth decoupled from resource use. This case study covers growth in the vehicle remanufacturing sector. www.ellenmacarthurfoundation.org/circular-exa...

Accommodates non-typical bicycles and attachments like baskets or child seats
Allows frame to be easily locked with U-lock

Check out the intersection where a driver hit a pedestrian going the wrong way down a one way street.

Would they be doing that if the city had installed a bollard or cement median? Paint isnโ€™t infrastructure.

A good reminder to enjoy the day weโ€™ve got! Get outside if you can, folks.
