More than a century after the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921, one of the most horrific episodes of racial violence in U.S. history, the city’s mayor announced a $105 million reparations package on Sunday. It is the first large-scale plan committing funds to address the impact of the atrocity.

For Handmaid’s Tale fans.

Many of the happiest cities in the world are also the most cycling friendly, not that we are at all surprised about that! momentummag.com/the-happiest... #yegbike

We just invited @EdmontonJournal reporter JCarmichael to join the Ride of the Fancy Women on June 8th so she could see for herself that macho nimbys arguing against safe infrastructure don't represent all the voices, or why we need proper bike lanes in #Edmonton. edmontonjournal.com/news/local-n...

Edmonton, I am excited to announce that I am running to be your next mayor.

June is bike month! If you'd like to help us demonstrate cycling adoption in Edmonton, please sign up for a volunteer shift at the link below!

102a ave bike lane west of 97th is shut down again. The detour sign seems to direct you into oncoming traffic? #yegbike

Join us this weekend! #yegbike #kidicalmass @kinderaufsrad.bsky.social

Interesting to see the National Post covering the transit cost problem (with @chittimarco.bsky.social). “They will need a collective effort from the industry to be less insular and look less at the United States [...] look at everybody else, whether it’s Europe, Asia or any other place.”

www.bloomberg.com/news/article... This article hits hard. Becoming a parent has really opened my eyes to how city design is connected with mental health. Raising children in the suburbs has nearly broken me. We open the front door-ghost town, a sea of hot pavement where the cars used to be.

A team has developed a system, called ProxiCycle, that logs when a passing car comes too close to a cyclist (within four feet)! This has huge potential for mapping unsafe routes where infrastructure or other interventions can be strategically deployed! www.washington.edu/news/2025/05... #yegbike

June is Bike Month! We're already tracking a few events, but if you have any events that are bike-related you think we should add to our calendar, please let us know! #yegbike #yegevents #yeg

Radar looks good people!! Let's go play some bikes!! (Bring a raincoat just in case) #yegbike

They’re eating the cats! They’re eating the dogs!

Lucky 1,000? Sign the letter now and share a screenshot if you are the 1000th person to let the Premier know that you demand safe routes to school, work, running errands, or whatever else you want to ride a bike to do! win.newmode.net/pathsforpeop... #yegbike

Tomorrow from 1-4 Belgravia Community League is hosting Bike Fest! We'll be there, along with friends from Paths for People, Bike Edmonton, and Let's Bike There. Come and say hi, join the playground meetup, or ask us questions about anything bike related #yegbike www.google.com/maps/place/B...

We need teams of "Streeters" to get out this week to key locations in each ward around the city to help gather more signatures/letters. We hope to recruit another 1000 letters this weekend from all corners of the city. Canvass Materials will be provided! docs.google.com/forms/d/1hPx...

Curious what events are happening this month, #yegbike? @letsbikethereyeg.bsky.social will have TWO playground meetups this month! May 10 at Belgravia's Bike Fest and May 25 along 132 Ave, and @peaceavebike.bsky.social starts May 7th! See these events and more: yegbike.info/events

Wednesday May 7 - First Ride of 2025 🥳 We've got a 12 km loop planned for the first ride of the season. There will be a mix of active infrastructure, from dedicated lanes to sidewalks. There is a planned small road section. See you at Wîhkwêntôwin (Oliver) Pool, 6:30 PM. #yegbike

Shots fired, Neil.

The culture war rages on.

Political donations are anti-democratic.
