My Twitter use and engagement is stochastic at best.
If you need to get a hold of me, please DM or use another medium. I am likely escaping my screens.

@debutton @UWE_SPE You absolute badass Jenna! Congratulations and I look forward to swapping knowledge on the same island, and seeing how your PhD position and topic work evolve! To UK rides together and tackling gender based inequality in the city!

Be sure to report any near misses, falls, or collisions that you have had as a pedestrian on https://t.co/s3RUDHneCJ! Similar to bike crashes, ICBC data is likely only capturing a portion of pedestrians hit by vehicles and lacks detail and context.

[Va-ness-a @VeloInertial]

@asadyyc Yes they have, and yes it will be great when it's done.

[Va-ness-a @VeloInertial]

@asadyyc Yeah, I don't think that's where the signage is supposed to be for the detour...

[Va-ness-a @VeloInertial]

@asadyyc Was the detour on the bikeway also blocked?

Anyone in #yycbike, #yycwalk, #yycscoot community experiencing near misses / hits / bike theft -@BikeIndexCalg, and/ or road rage incidents - I would encourage you to add them here if you haven't already filed a police report, @311calgary. #VisionZero @yyctransport , @PedDownYYC

[Va-ness-a @VeloInertial]

@brettbergie @BikeBikeYYC @CWalcottYYC If you have the spoons, I would encourage you to add those locations to https://t.co/82uiTv3n0k as #yyccc and #yyc admin does not currently track near-misses and road rage incidents. Police and @yyctransport incident reports of are all. @PedDownYYC

@tkarlo The first place I ever rode a bike share back in 2012, and experienced closed free-ways for walking and wheeling on a Sunday!

https://t.co/Amy1IfuYbS - If a road rage incident involves a vehicle trying to hit you, successfully hitting you, or intimidating with a close pass - that vehicle is now a weapon. The driver has engaged in vehicular assault. "Do/Did they have a weapon?" "YES, their 🚘!"

[Va-ness-a @VeloInertial]

"..Road rage by itself is not a criminal offence.. behaviour [resulting in] Criminal Code offences can include: assault, assault causing bodily harm, assault with a weapon, mischief, dangerous driving, careless driving, and so on."https://t.co/rakrs54M7k

@brettbergie @BikeBikeYYC @CWalcottYYC It seems like there is missing signage for drivers connecting onto 2nd St from the E/W connecting streets. I was connecting on via a street over, and there was nothing alerting me to the 2nd St cycle-track crossings. I am so sorry you had so many near misses/close calls!

[Va-ness-a @VeloInertial]

@BikeBikeYYC @yyctransport @JyotiGondek @gccarra @CWalcottYYC Love #cyclelogistics and the growing potential!

[BikeBike Inc @BikeBikeYYC]

Wouldn't it be cool if a portion of the old Greyhound depot was used for #cargobike/cyclelogistics deliveries in inner city Calgary? @yyctransport @JyotiGondek @gccarra @CWalcottYYC

Consider it a #ClimateEmergency initiative. #yyccc #yycbike https://t.co/pBMz38xIIB

@BromptonLeague , anyone selling or looking to upgrade a front Brompton/Brompton fitted front luggage bag? Or the larger rear rack wheels? DM me please 🙂

[Va-ness-a @VeloInertial]

@DaleCalkins I avoid commuting to work by bike during the school start and end times because I have been endangered as an adult on a bike in school drop-off zones by parents dropping off their kids far too often. I have that ability to adjust my travel time, kids/parents don't.

Hey, friends, we just gave our company to planet Earth. OK, it’s more nuanced than that, but we’re closed today to celebrate this new plan to save our one and only home. We’ll be back online tomorrow.

To accommodate repairs that will restore healthy ecosystems & protect the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary from future flooding, there will be occasional delays up to 15 minutes along the pathway near the Sanctuary from Sept 15 until mid Dec.

@BikeBikeYYC You see folks on their phones really well at bike level which is holy disconcerting as they drive through the intersection or playground zone texting past you.. Just need someone up ahead to pull them over, and a helmet mounted camera..
