Unfortunately, I did not ride the bike with studs today 🙃

And not once did they ever turn their head to acknowledge anything else other than vehicles. #yeg #yegbike #banrightonred

Gotta love construction detours that put pedestrians and active transport users uncomfortably close to turning vehicles at a corner, with no barrier or anything. Of course, there's barely enough room for a single bike to wait, too. Near a major LRT station. #yegbike #yeg

This is at least the 3rd time in the last 10 years that someone has jumped a curb and hit something in a playground zone in my SW neighbourhood. In the past it's been a fence, and a bus stop sign. Is it going to take a kid getting killed for the city to install some traffic calming? #yeg #yegbike

I literally see shit like this on a weekly (sometimes daily) basis, and it irks me to an irrational level.

A new section of the west-side 111 Street shared-use path is pretty much done... but crossing at 34 Avenue is still a mess. #yegbike #yeg @yegbike.bsky.social

True, I think that single-lane design that I feel comfortable riding in are the portions of 106 St that are an extension of the sidewalk (N of 76 Ave, and through Pleasantview). Not confined to hard curbs, & raised intersections at conflict points (in the newer area). Better for snow clearing, too.

The classic SUV corner cut due to shite spatial awareness. Luckily aborted or I probably would have gotten hit (the wide angle makes it seem like there's much more room here than there actually was). #yegbike

FYI, for those who use the 76 Ave bike lane. Hard to tell with this picture, but this section is pretty much unrideable, unless you're a small child. Opened a 311 request about a month ago but the tree is on private property, and there still doesn't look to be any attempts to prune it. #yegbike
