I'm a parent with 3 kids under 5. I want them to grow up in a neighborhood designed with them in mind.

I recently learned of a concept called "the 15-minute city".

A city where everyone should have access to essential urban services within a 15-minute walk or bike. /1

Man, kids grow up so fast. Can't believe this was 3 years ago

[Sean Tuff @Sean_Tuff]

Our kids love to sing while riding on our eBikes with us.

Today my wife was able to capture my 3 yo's song.

We've traded tantrums in the car for this ⬇️ big upgrade 🥹😍

Sound on!

@JonathanWillis Calgary just fell for this monorail trick

@BrentToderian You've got a pretty good following already.

I'm sure an agent could help, but I guarantee you've already got 10 thousand followers that'd buy a book from you tomorrow

@jeffgilchrist This was the thread I needed.

Thanks. In my KNES 201 class we've been talking about the impact of climate change on the future of physical literacy.

This will thread will greatly improve the discussion.

@OhUrbanity It's crazy.

Would never have thought the cognitive dissonance could be so extreme here

[Sean Tuff @Sean_Tuff]

@jasmine_mian Thank you for caring for the good of all and for having the courage to face reality instead of pushing away problems.

I greatly admire your leadership and willingness to serve in difficult times.

All the best in the future

Tell me again how bike lanes block emergency services

Cars don't always bring the freedom you think they do.

@JeffDavisonYYC Their pay is decided by an independent group. You know that.

Stop trying to use silly arguments to exploit people's ignorance and put forward some real solutions to the complex problems we face.

You're better than this

[Sean Tuff @Sean_Tuff]

@drdagly Does it work as a heat exchanger too?

I've been using the airtrim heat exchange mask and it's been great, but I don't love the fits

This week, City Administration provided an overview of the outstanding considerations with the Govt of Alberta's Green Line alignment proposed in the AECOM report.

The City identified $1.3 billion in known costs and risks that were not included in the AECOM proposal.

[Sean Tuff @Sean_Tuff]

@StWatson2 Yeah, there's a few places in the city with em. So much more beautiful than an alley 😂

[Sean Tuff @Sean_Tuff]

Last week a parent said my kids are so "extreme" for riding their bikes to school in winter

My response, "how extreme can a 5 and 7 year old be?"

We ski, snowmobile, play hockey, sled & do all sorts of cold activities. Why not bike?

Their biggest complaint is being sweaty 🥵

[Sean Tuff @Sean_Tuff]

@Spencerfor12 I appreciate your desire to have the difficult conversations and face reality rather than pushing problems down the road

[Sean Tuff @Sean_Tuff]

@RCaron67 It's amazing to see how well they handle it

[Sean Tuff @Sean_Tuff]

Thanks @cityofcalgary for clearing bike paths so they can keep getting to school safely.

[Sean Tuff @Sean_Tuff]

@cyclesixmile They're so handy.

For the biggest grocery loads I have a third and panniers too

[Sean Tuff @Sean_Tuff]

Yeah, but what do you do when it snows and you need to pick up groceries?

I ride my bike 🤷‍♂️

I grew up playing hockey on the outdoor rink at -20C

This is easy.

[Sean Tuff @Sean_Tuff]

@AlexRMcColl I love not having to deal with that anymore 👍

[Gil Meslin @g_meslin]

The politics of bike lane scapegoating is fascinating. People hate their drive. Hate it. But no matter how many years they spend hating their drive, they would rather be told bike lanes are to blame than that the way we build cities and move around them must fundamentally change.
