I'm a parent with 3 kids under 5. I want them to grow up in a neighborhood designed with them in mind. I recently learned of a concept called "the 15-minute city". A city where everyone should have access to essential urban services within a 15-minute walk or bike. /1

This weekend I got a letter from the condo board in my neighborhood of townhouses. It says we broke the bylaws by letting our kids play in front of our house Apparently our kids are an "obstruction" to vehicles which breaks bylaws But then they say it's a safety issue.

A common, poor excuse to discredit biking as a form of transportation is: you can only do it 6 months a year (this is BS, but humor me) Why is it we never hear this same criticism about giving huge swaths of land to golf courses? 🤔 People can't golf in the snow

If an ebike is cheating let's make a list of other forms of cheating: - Strollers. Carry that kid slacker - Rollerskates. If God wanted you to move that fast, Jesus would've rocked 'em - Power drills, hand only or train a woodpecker - Plumbing, go get the💧 yourself What else?

Today I discovered I have a neighbor, in their 40s and active, that drives 150m to a dog park to walk their dogs. They think it's normal. This is what makes the idea of walkable and bike-able spaces so unbelievably difficult for many to understand.

Saturday, I took a man in his mid-60's on an ebike test ride. At the end of the ride he says, "I've been complaining about bike lanes for years. I guess I'll have to go home and eat my words to my wife, because this thing is incredible." #ebike rides are persuasive advocacy

Riding an e-bike isn't cheating, it's smart! With an e-bike, you still get the benefits of biking (exercise, fresh air, saving money on gas) without having to struggle unnecessarily. It's a sustainable and environmentally-friendly alternative to driving a car. #eBikeLove

Our 20km/h street is mostly local traffic. Much safer than most city streets. We offered to do a traffic calming project with a grant from the city to make it safer. They said no chance. 🤷‍♂️ Guess they're just really anti-hopscotch. Or forget streets aren't just for cars

It's concept to focus streets and communities around people instead of cars. In a 15-minute city the easiest, most convenient way to grocery shop, take my kids to school, go to dinner with friends or play volleyball would be to walk or ride a bike. /2

What are the dumbest rules of the road for bicycles? My pick is - dismount bike before crossing the road It's slower & more inconvenient for the biker and driver It increases time on road which ups the danger It makes drivers think it's ok to harass you if you don't dismount

The most common phrase I hear from many people who buy ebikes, "I wish I had got it sooner" It's never too early to get outside for quality time with the ones we love. I know one day I will be sad I won't get to hear my kids singing while they share my bike 😭

@somesarah I desperately miss cargo biking with my son. He's grown up now so I have to live vicariously through my cargo customers. Cherish the time they are onboard with you. It goes by way too fast.

Studded tires worked incredibly well. You can dress for cold shower weather, but the conditions of the streets are what make it possible to ride or not. Anyone know of a plow you could use on a bike?

Maybe we should be building communities where independence is easy. 🤷‍♂️ Like the Dutch. Make biking safe and easy. Transit reliable & frequent Reduce space given to cars. That space isolates our young, our elderly and parents as home with kids

New from me: Researchers are beginning to ask if a lack of childhood independence plays a role in the mental health crisis. "Today’s 18-year-olds are like 12-year-olds from a decade ago. They have very little tolerance for conflict and discomfort."

I parked a vehicle, that can carry 4-5 kids, easily gets me around the city & costs 25 cents to fill up, in the wasted space inside my house at the front entrance. Imagine doing this w an SUV? Thank you @BikeBikeYYC For lending it to us for the weekend Can't wait to get ours!

3 years ago, I didn't think this is my dream family vehicle. I couldn't see what we've sacrificed for cars to dominate our city, the way my kids' lives are constrained by the metal monsters that roam the streets. I'm choosing a bike for the hope of a better future for my kids

@CHeartsTrees Yeah, that makes sense. That's not the case with this one though.

Does anyone know how to search world records? I'm trying to find the world record for most kids on a group ride. It's something Calgary should break

Normalize and legalize electric assist on kids' bikes No more tears Keeps a better pace Can ride longer distances Never intimidated by a big hill Builds confidence that they can ride So much damn fun! Like a go-kart you can legally ride everywhere and isn't noisy

Bike nerds I need your help. I'm trying to find more information on this bike. A woman said she brought it from the Czech Republic 50 years ago. It's got a bunch of neat features I'll show you
