Have I mentioned lately how much I love the #yycbike community? Every time I take a new class out in winter, I prepare them for the look of nostalgic joy people walking give us and the loudly expressed joy from winter cyclists. Every class, someone on a bike has cheered ❤️❤️❤️@youthenroute.bsky.social
store and did the fastest shop I could manage. Came out and bike was fine, the man was not around. Just an unpleasant interaction on a beautiful day. Did a full ABC check before loading my goods and heading home, but was a very stressful errand
that store. He asked again with a shouted “please!”, then realizing I was not going to do so, said “I’ll just stay here…with your bike” which sounded very threatening. I needed groceries quite badly and really didn’t want to push to tomorrow in the snowfall warning. I continued uneasily into the 2/3
Has anyone ever been extortion panhandled while locking up their bike? Guy walked up to me with a sad story about having a bus ticket for tomorrow but needing me to buy him 2 items at the nearby Shoppers. I advised I was in a hurry as I didn’t have lights for the trip home and wasn’t going into 1/3
Wow! What a year it was!!!
Cyclepalooza is coming. 🏁🚲
A skills-based cycling challenge celebrating youth confidence — and raising funds to expand access to safe riding across Calgary.
🗓️June 1, 2026 | 📍Downtown Calgary (The Confluence)
#CycleFestYYC #YYC #ActiveTransportation #CycleFest2026 #YouthEnRoute
So the UCP, after revealing an atrocious budget, are back to (checks notes) banning books? Could it be a knee jerk response to the Calgary Library Freedom Week campaign? 🤦♀️ Cut the shit, drop the writ, Dozer Dani
On June 6, we’re bringing downtown Calgary together to celebrate people on bikes, youth empowerment, and safe wheeling space.
More details soon. Big things are rolling out.🚲

Is it just me, or do the fantastic crews clearing the paths seem genuinely happy to see bike people? Every one I passed today had a smile and a wave as I thanked them and continued riding by. 🥰
Still wasn’t cleared at 9:30am, although south bank was happening
Happy to share the coordinates 😉
My personal favourite 🤦♀️
I think I saw that very snow being unloaded 😂
Smugness intact although I did bring her inside as my tracker dies faster in the cold
Take care out there. Pipes are possibly popping in the warm up and they way you rode maybe closed on the home trip with little to no consideration for #yycbike - on 42nd Ave, I asked crew if they could at least shovel lane to scoot to the path entrance before seeing they blocked it and parked 🤦♀️
Never!
Excited for #winterbikeday and your exclusive sneak preview of our new Bike Hub Community Bike Shop? Here’s a little teaser to hold you over until Saturday #yycbike
It’s international, but I guess we could do our own thing 😉
We're ready to share details. Bike Hub will be a DIY bike shop, with full-service repairs from @bathtubbikes.bsky.social It's a great partnership that allows us both to grow. YER is the charity, taking bike donations, BB is the retailer in a shared space. #yycbike

Looking good! Our new Bike Hub will be opening soon. Mario has been busy building workbenches out of recycled wood. Stay tuned for more details #yycbike #bikehub
Is it really winter biking if it’s 10C? June was so much colder than this #yycbike
🤦♀️
Canadian Cobra Chickens!
Dammit, I knew all this warm weather would come with consequences 🤦♀️
I never fail to snap a picture on my way home ❤️
Rarely am I this disrespectful to @cityofcalgary-rss.bsky.social but 🖕🖕🖕. I also have never felt so disrespected by them. No signage about the closure north of 16th Ave, no detour and ends with a field and a car dealership 🤬. I’ll be kinder in my 311 ticket #yycbike
Everywhere, but especially the river paths. Often the pedestrians have had to cross over the walking lanes to enter the bike lanes 🤷♀️
The Calgary Public Library says it lended out 17.5M materials in 2025, it's highest circulation on record. This includes more than 11M physical materials and 6.5M digital titles
7M people visited the Calgary Public Library last year across its 22 locations.
So while biking to work this morning I witnessed a collision with a Tesla Cybertruck - I only had 6 minutes extra to arrive in time for work so I didn’t stop. It actually was the station wagon driver who was at fault- what are the odds the CT guy will bitch on SM?
Man, they started off strong other than the odd pooling at the curbs 🤦♀️
Can anyone explain why the 4th St SE track is clear everywhere except in front of the Hilton? #yycbike
