Whenever I start to feel anxious I immediately have another coffee and scroll through the worst news imaginable on my phone and omg it does not help at all

When I say, “Let’s go ride bikes” This is what I’m talking about

Reminder to drivers in Calgary: If there is a bike on the road in front of you - - they are allowed to be there under Alberta traffic rules - you must give them minimum 1m space when passing - if you have a problem with that, hang up your keys www.calgary.ca/roads/safety... #RoadSafety

It takes money to shovel out hundreds of pedestrian crossings in a timely manner. What the @cityofcalgary.bsky.social is actually saying by leaving crosswalks impassible is that pedestrians, people riding bikes, & people with reduced mobility aren't worth as much as people who drive cars. #yycbike

The snow is really coming down! #yyc #abstorm #snowyaf

We adopted two cats from the MEOW Foundation and they’ve been with us for a week now. Meet Lewis and Archer. 🐄💕🐄

Today in relatable science: Gulls making a mysterious daily trip that turned out to be to a potato chip factory

yycpathways.ca is an app that shows you all of Calgary's wonderful pathway system, and then allows you to Pac-Man through the pathways by doing activities like riding your bike over top of them on Strava. Refreshed our pathway map today with ~150km of new pathways added since 2022! #yycbike #yyc

If there's one positive message to take away from the events of yesterday, it's that we're all one day closer to the heat death of the universe.

I went on a morale boost walk with a friend today and we tried not to talk about the American election. I saw this cat resting in the sun which was nice.

Started 2024 off with a group ride to the blue ring. It was a beautiful day and a great turnout. 💙🚲🔵

I like this time of year when it’s fall and winter mixed together.

I love this time of year. I went out and about yesterday and all my usual spots looked so nice. 🌾🚲🍂

Polar bears have taken over an ancient abandoned village in eastern Russia. Incredible photographs by Dmitry Kokh who won the Urban Wildlife category award in the Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition.

I’m here now, too along with everywhere else, it seems. 🩵☁️ Also, I was out and about early this morning to go to the dentist.
