#yycbike pathway report! GORGEOUS SNOW
Lots of ice patches. Silver Springs blvd, bowmont, bowness road, bow pathways all cleared! (B. Road connector, pumphouse to 12th ave not cleared)
Much lumpier around downtown.
Not the shitshow I expected. Still use caution, studs v. recommended!

#yyc I'm running out of words to describe the UCP. Passing anti-trans bill 9 using the notwithstanding clause to remove charter rights from trans Albertans, a day before the trans day of remembrance, is so ghoulish and utterly reprehensible.

E-bikes were made for moody fall days.
Heading to a shoot on the western edge of the city and realized it was only slightly longer to via Old Banff Coach Road, a favorite of recreational road cyclists.
Sometimes it takes twice as long as driving, but the joy more than makes up for it.

Tempted to call bylaw on bylaw because the alternate route adds 20 minutes. Ffs. Lucky today's bike is the skinnier one.

Funny, I remain convinced that Danielle Smith, though her fighting with the rest of the whole damn country and consistently siding with a foreign power who has floated economic war with us, is an actual traitor.

I was delayed by a pro-education protest (hell yeah) but that meant I didn't have time to stop and pet the cats 🥺

There are many things I am thankful for today. There are many things that I am hopeful for. There are many things I know we must fight for.
Here's to all the wonderful people in my life who strive for justice, equity, and inclusion, on this beautiful treaty land called Mohkinstsis, then Calgary.
