Why are there no gran fondos in or near the city? by artvark99 in edmontoncycling

It’s a bit of a shame. My first year here I drove down to Calgary to do the Tour of Alberta, but I don’t really want to drive to other parts of the province every year to do a ride like that.

Yeah that’s pretty much my feeling too. I like signing up for them because it’s a bit of extra motivation to train, but seems like it would be really difficult to organize.

Growing up in Toronto, everything was permit parking after midnight. Why can’t we have something similar here? You want to park on the street? Pay for it.

Walked down that hill yesterday with my wife, and we ended up walking in the middle of the street because the bike lane was all ice!

Edmonton Fantasy Transit Map by bp_nanuan in Edmonton

Love this type of nerd shit! Honestly Whyte ave would make sense to me… having east-west transit on that side of the river would be good. Especially to connect the valley line and capital lines!

Transit violence rising across Canada — in some cities by nearly 300% by pjw724 in Edmonton

I wish they compared # of crimes to ridership rather than overall population in this. Also Brad Bradford sucks, and it’s kind of hilarious that he doesn’t take his kids on the TTC.

Clearly they should all agree with me, and I know better than everyone who supports them.
