Alberta Cycling Coalition

Did you know Edmonton and Calgary successfully passed safe passing bylaws in 2021? 👀 What is required: ✅ When posted speed is 60km or less, you must provide a cyclist with 1m of space while passing ✅ If speed limits are greater than 60km/h, 1.5m is required #albertacycling

remember tomorrow in #yeg is the amazing Bike Swap organized by @albertabikeswap. Great place to sell and buy bikes that have been checked by a mechanic and appraised. See you there! #yegbike #bikes #greatdeal Get ready for summer! #shpk

We had a student in a Political Science course at @MacEwanU write a paper on how the province could improve cycling and make it safer. Still hoping @YourAlberta invests in legislation and investments that support #cycling & active transportation #safecycling #safety #investment

Alberta Bike Show Mar. 16-17 at Stampede Park BMO Centre in Calgary with eBike Test Track #cycling #ebikes #urbanmobility tinyurl.com/2hjezred

Definitely one of the best places to buy a used bike!

Stay safe everyone!

Our new years resolution is to make cycling safer but we need your help. membership.velocanadabikes.org/donate Each $50 donation before Jan 1 counts in a draw for a bike bag from Pedal People. Your support will help with us execute the following in 2024 (🧵):

Canada and other governments will need to invest much more into cycling and walking if we are to get serious about climate change. A side event was held on this at the recent #COP28 featuring Colombian government, the FIA Foundation, Walk21, the ECF, Despacio, ITDP and others.

If we could just find a way for the shared bikes and e-scooters in #yeg to be parked as in #montreal in specified parking and not left in the middle of trails and sidewalks!

Seen in the Museum of civilization in Quebec City in an exhibit on climate change. #activetransportation #advocacy #safepassing

What if #Canada had a similar strategic priority! While our geography presents challenges that Europe does not have, making this a commitment in urban areas & suburbs might go a long way to encourage active transportation as an alternative to cars. #hopeful #leadership #cycling

What if driver training manuals & courses included information on sharing the road with #cyclists such as leaving at least one meter when passing a cyclist. Help us advocate for stronger messaging in driver training manuals on #sharingtheroad with cyclists. #safepassing #ableg

2024 Winter Cycling Congress in Edmonton Early Bird Pricing Extended & Call for Presenters #cycling #ebikes #cargobikes #urbanmobility #yegcc #wintercycling #bikelife #Edmonton #yegcycling tinyurl.com/ykanau9b

Always interesting to tune into the monthly calls with @Canada_Bikes - lots of interest in cargo bikes, ebikes & federal funding for active transportation. For those of us in Alberta, we are jealous of the support cycling gets in Quebec. Visit velo.qc.ca to dream

Great thread on the talk from @modacitylife happening tonight #cycling #lesscardependent

Listening to Chris from the @Cycling_Embassy at UofA. #cycling #safepassing #activetransportation. Thanks @michaeljanz for the invite

Will be there!

fantastic idea.....would be great to promote this concept in our urban/rural school boards.

We are considering establishing an account on another social media app. Should we choose Thread or Mastoton or? Wondering where cyclists and persons interested in active transportation hang out.

It is 11 am and the 2 bike parkings are getting filled. Over 1000 bikes Friday night. Great job ⁦@edmfolkfest⁩ in promoting active transportation! #yegbike #sustainability #music #cycling
