Cycling side-by-side isn’t bad behaviour—it’s human behaviour. It’s how parents talk to their kids. How friends catch up. How communities form.

If bicycle infrastructure is too narrow for people to ride and talk together, the problem isn’t the people. It’s the infrastructure.

Nørrebro, Copenhagen.

Won’t bother with #yycbike pathway conditions as crews are out and will eventually get to the unplowed sections. What inspired me most this morning was the number of cyclists out before me! I left at 7am and every section of pathway I ride had multiple sets of bike tracks in the snow!

With a bus pass and a Brompton you can go anywhere.... Bus out and cycled home from Haydon Bridge. Only 20km, cool air but lovely and sunny ☀️ 🚴 #Cycling #Northumberland #Brompton

With such beautiful weather after such a long, snowy winter, I was tempted to ride right by the plant this morning and enjoy the day

My First Bike Ride of 2026 A desperately needed respite from an exceptionally bitchy winter.

It was 70º and sunny today. I needed this.

One of the most important features of a Brompton is not that it effortlessly folds up in seconds or that it is handmade.

Its the fact that when you buy one you're also buying a promise you'll be able to get replacement parts for a decade+.

That's smart money, well spent.

Post office run on the Brompton! 10 years ago, I would have piloted a giant pickup truck to purchase stamps and mail a letter. 😒 Bikes for the win! 🚲💌📬

A little bit of winter returns this Friday for us! But no worries, we'll be taking a little jaunt to Edworthy Park to warm up by the fire. Bring a hot drink and a snack! #yycbike

This is something we could do in Calgary right now (we shoulda done in the first place).

Spotted at the coat check of the Ocean Sciences Meeting. The collective noun is a fold of Bromptons. #OSM26

Brompton's all new G Line Electric e-Motiq was meticulously engineered from scratch to own the city and beyond.
From brilliant off road handling to easy charging and storing in small spaces, everything feels seamless on G Line e-Motiq. #jointhefold #yycbike #yegbike

King Street Station + Brompton is the most glamorous way to travel.

Some quick (and cheap) wins?
Ban right hand turns on red.
Pedestrian intervals.
Daylight intersections.
Lower residential speed limit.
Automate traffic enforcement.
Zero tolerance on distracted driving.
Use your data to retrofit key intersections.
Build bike lanes.

What's stopping you?

A couple of years ago, Brompton League riders unfolded adventures on car-free 1A in Banff. We have just one question.

Shall we ride Banff again this spring?

I’m back on the saddle… 😁

So glad to be back on my Brompton can’t believe six weeks has flown by already.

I’m so happy I was able to fit my Brompton Bicycle in the locker while I use the gym.

I’ve finally got my smile back. A lot of people just don’t understand what cycling does to a person.
