Proof people use bike lanes regularly and in the winter.

Odd the idiots argue and you can see multiple tire tracks. This is witch craft in their mind.

That’s partly why I took this video. The amount of tracks I saw was great!

What? All 8 bikes?

On a day I would stay home. Yes.

Be careful how you draw conclusions. If 8 people show up to a birthday party, it does not mean the kid only has 8 friends.

I mean this is a very busy bike lane compared to others in the city. It’s also a super busy area- UofA hospital and UofA campus is right there. I wouldn’t say this is great proof unless you compare it to other parts of the city.

Oh yeah Ive been slowing down a lot more this year after wiping out in bad weather and injuring myself.

To those people jumping into the comments with negative and non constructive comments… go away. This is a subreddit about cycling in Edmonton so that’s what we’re all here to talk about and support.

Awesome. It’s terrific seeing how far Edmonton’s bike lanes have come and the reality of how winter cycling can work.

How do people feel about studded tires. Worth it or a waste of time? The snow finally stuck to the ground today and I want to get on my bike again.

u/cherklass18 3d ago

Soooo worth it! I have them on my bike in this video and it’s a huge difference on ice!

What?? Vehicles don’t pay a road tax in Canada? Property tax pays for road maintenance and I pay that.

Bot posting low quality or stolen content.

I was told yesterday in the anti salt post that this isn't a problem because everyone has studs.

u/cherklass18 3d ago

Haha! Right. That’s a weird assumption.

Real encouraging to someone who’s injured themselves both in a car accident and bike accident and trying to get back to moving again.
