Cainmark Does Not Comply 🚲<p>Didn't go far, just to the Public Library drop off box but the new studded tires and "Pogies" made a huge difference on my backup bicycle today. Those tires were expensive but more than made up for the cost when I was able to bicycle up my re-iced (since being cleared) steep driveway.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BikeTooter</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Bicycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bicycling</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/WinterBike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WinterBike</span></a></p>

HyL☮️🚲🇨🇦<p>In the past 24 hours, I have had to submit SIX complaints about inadequate or just plain evil snow maintenance on priority bike lanes in Edmonton. (The evil part is plow operators pushing road snow onto a bike path.)<br>Local scuttlebutt says the new city manager, former head of public transit, isn't keen on bike Lanes and so is deprioritizing snow clearing on the bike routes.<br><a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/yegbike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>yegbike</span></a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/winterbike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>winterbike</span></a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/urbanism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>urbanism</span></a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/allseasoncycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>allseasoncycling</span></a></p>
