1. Welcome to Calgary!

2. Now … someone do an actual bike count over the next week. You know … DOGE the shit out of that asinine expenditure

3. E-bike food delivery wallahs were the only bikes last night when it was coming down.

   1. Yep. There’s tonnes of them operating in the core. And with people staying at home, they may be even busier than usual. Not seeing this as the usual screwed up priorities we’re normally used to.

4. That road looks ploughed to me, more so than the bike path.
   I’m calling BS rage-bait on this.

   1. Me too. That isn’t plugged.

5. What are all the people who’ve lost their driver’s license supposed to do?

6. Eh… bike path has its own machine. Maybe a different department.
   In my town there’s one guy with a tractor who does all the bike paths. He seems to enjoy his job. Always cleared right away. Parks department instead of highway i think.

   1. That’s pretty obvious isn’t it …

7. The bike commuters out at this time of year are nutjobs.
   BUT, if a (poorly plowed) isolated lane keeps them off the fckn road, great.
   Because if I flatten a nutjob’s head under my wheel, I’ll be punished by the mental defectives in charge.

8. Even children know it’s winter and to put the bicycles away until spring. Some “adults”, not so much.

9. Mobility of the insane is essential to daily survival. UberMunchies.

10. Moise was probably plowed a lot sooner than that.

11. Doesn’t look like a very good job to me.

    Calgary used to plow some of the bike lanes, and park paths well before the arterial streets were plowed. Did a good job of it too.

    It was surprising how many people in our oil company used to bike to work, even in winter.

    One colleague said he biked to avoid traveling on the flu factories (Calgary buses).

12. Slightly off topic, but if you are building a new apartment building in Edmonton, according to the land use bylaw, you don’t have to have any allowance for parking of cars, be it a small 10 suite or multi-level 100 suite structure. Fight it out in the street for the closest spot. BUT…..you MUST have a minimum one bike parking stall per suite, of which half must be in a secure compound and each stall has strict measurements that must be adhered to. Social engineering at its worst. City councils are awash with eco-freaks and limp waisted socialists.

    1. * limp-wristed

       1. I think you mean something else was/is “limp”.
