Congratulations!

If you're thankful for bike lanes, please let your government know! Calgary's municipal budget is coming up and the provincial government is still planning its anti bike lane legislation in November.

Big thank you to everyone that has sent a message to Minister Dreeshen and their MLA this year ❤️!

(is “Winter is Coming” still a meme?) 😁

The drop in temperature doesn’t have to mean an end to your riding season. With the right mindset, a little prep, and some warm layers — you can keep pedaling all year long. For tips and expert advice on winter maintenance, storage, tire selection and more go and check out the winter ride guide put together by our friends at Ridley’s Cycle (see link in bio). Let us know what your favourite winter riding tips are in the comments!

Thanks to Ridley's Cycle - Southern Alberta’s Bike Store for being a generous Tire Level Sponsor of Bike Calgary. If you’re interested to hear more about our sponsorship program, please reach out to us at [email protected].

Big thank you to everyone that filled out a postcard! We met up with our Edmonton colleagues Paths for People, Bike Edmonton, Bikeology Guild of Canada, Bike Bus Alberta, Let’s Bike There YEG and YEG Bike Coalition to drop them off to at the legislature. While Devin Dreeshen continues to ignore meeting requests from all bike groups, we were joined by Edmonton MLAs and councillors.

We still have postcards if you haven't filled one out yet. Make sure to call and email his office too.

A bit of diversification in the education this morning with Calgary Climate Hub for the BioBlitz Ride- soil health, head water protection, bike lane protection, so much happening pre-ride!

Help us share the love of bike lanes to Devin Dreeshen!

Fill out a postcard, grab some for your friends, and put up a poster so that everyone knows to take action.

Postcards are now at BikeBike Inc, YYC Bike HUB, BIKE and BREW, Two Wheel View - Youth. Bikes. Community., and Bow Cycle & Sports so you can shop for bike gear while taking action. We'll be delivering the postcards to Devin Dreeshen next month.

Bike Calgary statement on Ontario bike lane decision:

Bike Calgary is disappointed by the decision from the Ontario Court of Appeal, which allows the provincial government to proceed with the removal or reconfiguration of protected bike lanes on major Toronto streets.

While the decision resolves a legal question, it does not change the importance of safe cycling infrastructure.

Protected bike lanes are an important part of safe, healthy and connected communities. They provide people with a way to travel by bicycle that is separated from motor vehicle traffic, making cycling a more comfortable and accessible option for people of different ages and abilities.

That matters because cycling is more than recreation. People ride bikes to get to work and school, run errands, visit friends and family, and simply enjoy their communities. When people feel safe cycling, more people are able to choose active transportation, which benefits individual health, community connections and the environment.

The evidence supporting safe, separated cycling infrastructure is substantial. Removing it should not be treated simply as a question of road space or traffic flow. Decisions about our streets should consider the safety and well-being of everyone who uses them.

Bike Calgary stands with Cycle Toronto and others advocating for safe, connected cycling networks in Toronto and across Ontario. We hope decision-makers will continue to consider the evidence and the needs of the communities they serve.

Calgary can learn from what is happening in Toronto. As our city continues to grow, we should be looking for opportunities to build a transportation network where more people can safely choose to walk, roll, cycle, drive or take transit.

Safe streets are good for everyone.

Hey Calgary, it’s Neighbour Day on Saturday. We’ve got free cake and $500 of prizes to give away. Stop by our table on 15 Ave SW cycle track. Between 10:30am and noon, we’ll be at one of the intersections between MacLeod Trail and 11 St SW. But, shhh! The exact intersection will be a surprise!
