Alberta Cycling Coalition

The Alberta Cycling Coalition is a like-minded group of organizations and individuals seeking to Make Alberta Roads Safer for Cyclists.

Did you know Edmonton and Calgary successfully passed safe passing bylaws in 2021? 👀
What is required:
✅ When posted speed is 60km or less, you must provide a cyclist with 1m of space while passing
✅ If speed limits are greater than 60km/h, 1.5m is required

remember tomorrow in #yeg is the amazing Bike Swap organized by @albertabikeswap. Great place to sell and buy bikes that have been checked by a mechanic and appraised. See you there! #yegbike #bikes #greatdeal Get ready for summer! #shpk

[Alberta Cycling Coalition @AlbertaCycling]

We had a student in a Political Science course at @MacEwanU write a paper on how the province could improve cycling and make it safer. Still hoping @YourAlberta invests in legislation and investments that support #cycling & active transportation #safecycling #safety #investment

Definitely one of the best places to buy a used bike!

Stay safe everyone!

Our new years resolution is to make cycling safer but we need your help.

Each $50 donation before Jan 1 counts in a draw for a bike bag from Pedal People.

Your support will help with us execute the following in 2024 (🧵):

Canada and other governments will need to invest much more into cycling and walking if we are to get serious about climate change.

A side event was held on this at the recent #COP28 featuring Colombian government, the FIA Foundation, Walk21, the ECF, Despacio, ITDP and others.

If we could just find a way for the shared bikes and e-scooters in #yeg to be parked as in #montreal in specified parking and not left in the middle of trails and sidewalks!

[Vélo Canada Bikes @Canada_Bikes]

“Shared bikes and e-scooters are a key part of daily life for communities across North America,” says Corinne Kisner, executive director of NACTO.

What if #Canada had a similar strategic priority! While our geography presents challenges that Europe does not have, making this a commitment in urban areas & suburbs might go a long way to encourage active transportation as an alternative to cars. #hopeful #leadership #cycling

[Dutch Cycling Embassy @Cycling_Embassy]

The EU released a new declaration on cycling.

The proposed declaration elevates cycling to a strategic priority and formally recognizes the vital role cycling can play in decarbonizing the transport sector.

What if driver training manuals & courses included information on sharing the road with #cyclists such as leaving at least one meter when passing a cyclist. Help us advocate for stronger messaging in driver training manuals on #sharingtheroad with cyclists. #safepassing #ableg

[Alberta Cycling Coalition @AlbertaCycling]

Always interesting to tune into the monthly calls with @Canada_Bikes - lots of interest in cargo bikes, ebikes & federal funding for active transportation. For those of us in Alberta, we are jealous of the support cycling gets in Quebec. Visit https://t.co/d3LI6yyEx5 to dream

fantastic idea.....would be great to promote this concept in our urban/rural school boards.

[Tiny Beaches has moved to BlueSky @TinyBeaches]

First day of school for the Sunnyside to Riverside Bike Bus!
With an average speed of 18km/h this 3km ride took about 10 min to complete.
😀🚲👍

We are considering establishing an account on another social media app. Should we choose Thread or Mastoton or? Wondering where cyclists and persons interested in active transportation hang out.

[Alberta Cycling Coalition @AlbertaCycling]

It is 11 am and the 2 bike parkings are getting filled. Over 1000 bikes Friday night. Great job ⁦@edmfolkfest⁩ in promoting active transportation! #yegbike #sustainability #music #cycling
