Last night I reported a dangerous driver on 5th St SW. Of course, not where there’s a cycle track or any accommodation whatsoever to acknowledge that it a designated route for vulnerable road users.

A group of us were biking on 5th Street SW between 17th Ave and the Elbow River Pathway when an aggressive driver yelled at us to "get on the bike path."

We wish!

Annex Ale Project has primo bike parking, free air for your tires, and is hosting the petition to extend the 5th St SW cycletrack from 17th Ave SW to the Elbow River Pathway.

Come on down, sign the petition, and show them some #yycbike love

[BikeBike Inc @BikeBikeYYC]

Complete 5th St cycletrack river-to-river, no question.

1. Cycletrack already there
2. Most direct connection to Elbow River
3. Easy access to businesses on 4th

#yycbike #yyccc @Complete5th

[Design 5th St to be Safe for All Road Users @Complete5th]

Agreed. #yycbike

[Lindsay Bliek @thismombikes]

The new green box pisses off the right turners (because cyclists block their ability to turn right on red) and makes it easier for the drivists in the SB lane to forget that there are cyclists using this route, too.

[Design 5th St to be Safe for All Road Users @Complete5th]

Good question!

[Christopher Doyle @chrisdoyle78]

Anyone know why they moved the bike box for the 5th st. cycletrack to the right side of the street at 17th into the turn lane? Confusing for cars, as you are in a clearly marked turn lane, but going straight. Made more sense where it was before. #yycbike @yyctransport
