Cycling on knobby, skinny or fat tires around Banff, Canada. For fun, commuting or escape. Showing style or crashing pathetically, ride in the Rockies.

If you're out on skinny tires and want hit Hwy 1A (Bow Valley Parkway), you have to walk about 120 metres on snow and ice today on the Legacy Trail connector from Vermilion Lk Rd. Or take the TCH.
It's time to ride.
Town of #Banff crews have started townwide street sweeping and will continue until the end of May. Give the sweeper plenty of room so it can effectively clean streets.
If there are any temporary parking bans for street sweeping, we’ll let you know through our alerts system. Sign up online for an email, text, phone call or download the app at banff.ca/alert so you can move your vehicle.

Had a day on skinnier, but back on fat tires, thanks to well-groomed Coastline. Spring is coming, though.

Happy International Women’s Day!
Did you know that the bicycle paved the way for women’s rights at the turn of the 20th century?
Check out this film to see how the power of bicycles has become a tool for women over the years: arte.tv/en/videos/100170-044…

Intuitive connection between number of bike lanes and people who cycle, but very good data here, including link to quality of life.

I made a video in May counting the number of bikes vs cars on Bloor. My comments got filled with people telling me that no one bikes for 6 months of the year. I just took a new video in February to prove my point. Cycling solves congestion year round!

✅ We all love visiting European cities that are designed for #PeopleNotCars.
❌ But back home we are obsessed with ensuring there are enough parking spots & traffic impact studies for our car-obsessed post-war development pattern. 🤦🏻♂️

When it comes to achieving better cities for people, a BIG challenge is how little space we have for public life, given the space we’ve surrendered to cars. Barcelona’s “superblocks” show what we can fit if we took some space back. Video by @modacitylife
Build roads and parking - get more cars, trucks and SUVs. Build transit and rail, bike storage and trails - get safety, clean air, comfort and no traffic

2024 will bring Banff's first dedicated bus lane (and a separated uphill trail for bikes and peds). It's a small step in prioritizing people and transit over vehicles. banffviewpoints.ca/mountaine…
Today is final day to voice support for a bike/ped lane, support transit... or keep the status quo for vehicle traffic.
Last chance to take the survey on the Mountain Ave Express Bus Lane and Separated Multi-Use Trail. Survey closes Sept. 24 banffviewpoints.ca/mountaine… #Banff
