This crew was impressed with how many other winter riders were out, and the students had a conversation with a gentleman taking his young kiddo in a trailer to daycare while waiting for the light. Definitely an eye opening week for them

Have I mentioned lately how much I love the #yycbike community? Every time I take a new class out in winter, I prepare them for the look of nostalgic joy people walking give us and the loudly expressed joy from winter cyclists. Every class, someone on a bike has cheered ❤️❤️❤️@youthenroute.bsky.social

Wow, what a year we had in #2025. We tallied up some numbers for our funders at @cyclingcanada.bsky.social and Alberta Bicycle Association and our reach continues to grow, despite the school strike in the fall. Thanks to passionate teachers and school partners. #yycbike

Our winter bike program is booked solid until the end of “winter” 😉
We have had a fantastic week winter biking with the students at Robert Thirsk High School. From a Monday morning conversation about why anyone would want to bike in winter to Tuesday afternoon where students were asking the furthest destination we could go, we know these youth are hooked! #yycbike

I would really like them to study the impact of macular degeneration and regular injections on vision, especially in bright sun, on drivers. From my experience with my elderly aunt, she is blind as a bat on bright sunny days - but is fine when light is muted.
I saw this pop up on my FB feed. Thought I’d share it in case the #yycbike folks weren’t aware. It open to everyone of course. 😃🚴🏻♂️ #cycling

Pic shows Premier Cycle Shop in Calgary in 1913, with lots and lots of old white wall bike tires on old school cruisder-style bikes. Parts and accessories are in wooden glass-door cabinets. 4 men in dapper suits are also in picture.
What does a community bike shop look like?
A few more weeks and we can share what we are working on. In the meantime, here's a look into Walter Compton's Premier Cycle Shop on 7th AVE back in 1913. Love those handlebars!
