Researcher surveying people who winter cycle: participants wanted

UPDATE: Winter Cycling Survey – Now Closed

Thank you EBC members. The response to my request for participants in my winter cycling survey has been overwhelming! I have reached my quota for the number of surveys I can complete by the end of March and I appreciate everyone’s support and interest.

I would like to present the findings to the EBC sometime after April so will work with the EBC to plan the best approach that works for you.

Thank you again.

Sincerely, Dianne Gillespie University of Alberta Planning Student

Original article

Do you occasionally ride a bike in the winter for any reason?

Dianne Gillespie, an undergraduate student in the Urban Planning program at the University of Alberta, is currently conducting a small research project about the experiences of winter cyclists in Edmonton.

She writes:

Qualitative Assessment of Winter Cyclists' Experiences Edmonton, Alberta

I am seeking the participation of adults living in Edmonton who either regularly or occasionally cycle during the winter months.

Trip modes can include commuting to work or school, running errands or recreational cycling.

If you are interested in participating in a short survey or if you have any questions about this project please contact me at: [email protected]

All responses are confidential and results will be used to inform the design of Edmonton's cycling routes.

Bike Index

Bike Index offers an easy and efficient way to store and update important identifying information about your bike. The process is simple, secure, and free. In the unfortunate event that your bike is stolen, you can harness the power of our network to help get it back. Registering with Bike Index ensures that law enforcement, bike shops, individuals, and everyone in between has the information they need to help reunite you with your bike.

Bike Index is the most widely used open bicycle registration site in the world. We strive to be the best resource in the fight against bicycle theft.

The Bike Index makes stolen bikes harder to sell and easier to recover by making sure important information about your bike is there when you need it the most.

So far we've registered 39,071 bikes and have recovered over 2,240 stolen bikes.

Would you help a child find her first bicycle?

Do you know the joy of helping someone experience their first taste of riding a bike? On March 6 and 8, help us share that with dozens of children with special needs. We are in great need of volunteers: no special skills or experience is required.

Volunteers urgently needed for Try-a-Bike Day and First Bike fitting events

Friday, March 6 from 1-6pm

Sunday, March 8 from 9-5pm

Broxton Park School, 505 MacLeod Avenue, Spruce Grove

 
 
Imagine the joy of helping someone experience their first taste of riding a bike. On March 6 and 8, please help us share that happiness with dozens of individuals with special needs.

You Can Ride 2: Borrow-a-Bike is a program that loans adapted bicycles to children whose special needs make it challenging for them to ride a 2-wheel bicycle. This free service empowers children with the freedom to ride with their families.

We are in great need of volunteers: no special skills or experience is required.

Please sign up now to help.

Friday is our Try-a-Bike Day, an opportunity for individuals (of all ages) with disabilities to learn about a variety of adaptive cycling options available. We will have several bikes from our loan pool available for people to trial, as well as vendors with their own demos.

On Sunday March 8, registered children will be fit to bikes specifically adapted to their needs.

We urgently need volunteers for both events. We certainly need mechanics (no prior experience with adapted bicycles is necessary), but you don't need to be technical: we also need greeters, a photographer, people to help with inventory, and even someone to prepare lunch.

There are additional roles that we need help with in the days following, as well as for future bike fitting days. Please go to our volunteer sign-up sheet to see the available roles.

If you are a therapist, please visit our therapist page for available volunteer roles.

If you know someone that would be interested in helping out, please forward this message to them as well.

Sponsorship

If your company would like to sponsor this or any future event, and have your name and logo attached to it, please contact us at [email protected].

Alberta Venture named EBC one of Alberta's 25 Most Innovative Organizations in 2014. Read about it, check out the other organizations in the list, and watch a video they produced highlighting You Can Ride 2 on Alberta Venture's website.

Media Release: Ghost Bike Memorial Installation

The Edmonton Bicycle Commuters Society will be installing a Ghost Bike Memorial on Friday, March 6 at noon on Range Road 252, Leduc County, approximately 500m north of Highway 19 (approximate location depicted at https://goo.gl/maps/uYI2T). On February 23, 2015, Christopher Beaulieu, age 21, was tragically killed while cycling south of Edmonton. He will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by his family, including his brother, sisters and parents, as well as many other family members and friends. Christopher, an experienced cyclist who always rode with bike lights, had left work in south Edmonton around 5:30pm and was riding his fatbike on a 30-40km training ride for an upcoming tour this summer when he was struck from behind around 6:30pm. The temperature was about 7 degrees Celsius and conditions were clear.

“Our hearts go out to the family and friends of Christopher, who are dealing with this tragic and untimely loss,” says Chris Chan, Executive Director of the Edmonton Bicycle Commuters Society. “Christopher was not alone in cycling on the highways around Edmonton. Even in the winter, there are many commuters who travel by bike between Edmonton and its surrounding communities. Especially with this winter’s warm temperatures and clear roads, there are even more people choosing to ride for transportation as well as for fitness and recreation. All road users need to be aware of each other and share the road year round, for everyone’s safety.

"Christopher's colleagues at his workplace initially contacted us to request this Ghost Bike be installed in his memory. We are very sorry for their loss, and hope this memorial can help ease their pain.”

Ghost Bikes, bicycles painted all-white and placed at the site where a person riding a bike has been killed, are small and sombre memorials for people killed by automobiles. The installations are meant as reminders of the tragedy that took place, and as quiet statements in support of the right of all people to safe travel. Ghost Bikes do not lay blame, nor do we assess fault when placing a bike. All road users need to pay attention to each other and share the road safely.

Before and after: transforming a 15 lane pedestrian crossing

Vancouver has transformed an intersection that once required people on foot or bike to cross 15 lanes of traffic in five stages. Edmonton can take note: cities aren't born "bike-friendly" or "car-oriented". They're designed by people, and they can be redesigned for people.

Before: Burrard and Cornwall

Painted on-street bike lanes had existed along both Burrard and Cornwall. But to follow the bike lane, depending on your direction of travel, a person had to merge across multiple lanes of traffic and turning vehicles on a road that carried 57,000 vehicles a day.

The intersection was designed in 1930 when the Burrard Bridge was constructed and remained basically unchanged until last summer, when Vancouver opened the newly redesigned intersection.

After: Burrard and Cornwall

The new intersection features a much safer, simple design for everyone, including drivers. It features a protected intersection, and the on-street bike lanes have been transformed into fully-protected bike lanes separated from pedestrians and other traffic.

Since opening the new intersection, bike trips across Burrard Bridge increased from 161,000 in July 2013 to to 195,000 bike trips in July 2014. This represents about a 90% growth since 2005, which itself was a growth of about 50-70% from 1996. Over 1.2 million trips across Burrard Bridge are made by bike each year.

Watch this video of the new intersection and Seaside Greenway, with inset video showing how things looked before the City made improvements.

Global Visions presents a fundraiser for Theatre Network

Would you like to get yourself a MonkeyLectric​ light, a $50 gift certificate to BikeWorks, an EBC membership, and watch two made-in-Edmonton films?

All while supporting Theatre Network in the wake of the destruction of the historic Roxy Theatre?

Global Visions Festival is hosting a fundraiser for Theatre Network this Saturday, February 28, starting at 6pm (the second film screens at 8pm) at the Metro Cinema. The event includes screenings, filmmaker Q&As, and a silent auction. Many items, including donations from EBC, will be up for grabs.

Tickets are only $10. Get your tickets today!

Like everyone in Edmonton’s arts community, all of us at Global Visions were profoundly affected by the loss of one of our city’s most beloved institutions, The Roxy Theatre. We wanted to find a way to help Theatre Network’s efforts to rebuild The Roxy, so Global Visions, in partnership with Metro Cinema, is honoured to present an evening celebrating the ‘spirit’ of Edmonton, with all money raised going directly to Theatre Network.

Join us for the official “Global Visions Fundraiser for Theatre Network”, taking place Saturday, FEB 28 @ 6pm at another one of Edmonton’s most beloved institutions (and our partner for this event!), Metro Cinema at the Garneau (8712 109 St.).

We’ve selected a couple of MADE-IN-EDMONTON films that we feel perfectly capture the spirit of The Roxy, as well as the spirit of the people who make up the arts scene in this town.

Volunteers needed for learn-to-ride course for children with special needs

This spring, we will once again offer You Can Ride 2: Learn-to-ride, a course for children with special needs, and we are in need of volunteers. In its 12th year, this program has a very high success rate and is extremely fun and rewarding for the volunteers, children, and families.

The course runs Thursday early evenings starting in late April through to early June. Each week, we will run two back-to-back one-hour sessions.

Who are we looking for?

• Occupational and physical therapists
• Experienced cyclists

It’s the synergy of the two groups that have made our program such a success.

The course is held in the parking lot of Gold Bar Park (as far north as you can go on 50 St and still be south of the river) with the first session starting at 6pm. A volunteer orientation is held beforehand.

If you can volunteer, or you would like more information, please contact John Collier at [email protected]. Please feel free to pass this invite on to any knowledgeable cyclists, physical therapists or occupational therapists you know.

Volunteer mechanic needed

You Can Ride Two is looking for mechanic volunteers for this Saturday, Feb 7th. Help get a fleet of modified bikes ready to be lent out to some pretty excited kids! Any level of mechanical ability is welcome. Contact us at [email protected].

The Local Good presents the Edmonton Resilience Festival

Learn about hand tools, bee-keeping, cooking, fermenting apple cider, vermicomposting, break making, canning, wild plants, and, of course, bike maintenance, among many other skills at the Edmonton Resilience Festival February 7-8. Tickets are on sale today.

The Edmonton Resilience Festival aims to strengthen community resilience through skill-sharing workshops and other events, inspiring participants to help create a sustainable, creative and promising future. The festival will also help to restore a sense of community that is often lost in cities experiencing rapid development and population growth. By bringing together diverse participants and creating opportunities for learning, sharing and connecting, we hope to expand our horizons, our skill sets and our community networks.

The inaugural Edmonton Resilience Festival will run Feb. 7 and 8, 2015, at the beautiful Boyle Street Plaza in downtown Edmonton. We have a mix of hands-on practical workshops, guided Conversation Cafés, art and social events, and a fair showcasing the work of community organizations called the Community Connections Fair.

In addition to the community-led (paid) workshops, the Edmonton Resilience Festival will also include lots of free programming, including Conversation Cafes, a Community Connections Fair and family-friendly outdoor activities that will be free to attend.

Winter cycling presentation with Tom Babin, author of Frostbike

Please join Tom Babin, writer with the Calgary Herald and author of the bestselling book, Frostbike, on Saturday, February 21 at BikeWorks South for a presentation about winter cycling! There is no cost to attend this event.

The bicycle is fast becoming a ubiquitous form of transportation in cities all over the world, making our urban spaces more efficient, more livable and healthier. But many of those bicycles disappear into basements and garages when the warm months end, parked there by owners fearful of the cold, snow and ice that winter brings. But does it have to be that way?

Canadian writer and journalist Tom Babin started questioning this dogma after being stuck in winter commuter traffic one dreary and cold December morning and dreaming about the happiness that bicycle commuting had brought him all summer long. So he did something about it. He pulled on some thermal underwear, dragged his bike down from the rafters of his garage and set out on a mission to answer a simple but beguiling question: is it possible to happily ride a bike in winter? That question took him places he never expected. Over years of trial and error, research and more than his share of snow and ice, he discovered an unknown history of biking for snow and ice, and a new generation designed to make riding in winter safe and fun. He unearthed the world’s most bike-friendly winter city and some new approaches to winter cycling from places all over the world. He also looked inward, to discover how the modern world shapes our attitudes toward winter. And perhaps most importantly, he discovered the unique kind of bliss that can only come by pedalling through softly falling snow on a quiet winter night.

102 Ave bikeway

Council has unanimously approved fully funding the creation of a high-quality bike route along 102 Avenue from 96 St to 136 St. Thank you to everyone who contacted their councillor to support this program.

Designs for the 102 Avenue route will be completed in mid-2015, when it will go back to the community for feedback and revision. Construction would likely start in 2016.

You can review and give your feedback on early design options for 102 Ave until December 5 on the project website.

Active Transportation receives $20 million

Thank you to everyone that wrote to council in support of funding active transportation. Council has just passed a motion to increase funding from $0 to $20 million for the next 4 years. Council will debate funding for the 102 Avenue bikeway at 1:30pm. You can listen or watch live online at http://councilontheweb.edmonton.ca/ (Council Chamber).

#CoffeeOutside

The #YEGBike community, in addition to collecting clothing for YESS, is at it again, this time with a simple plan: to drink cofffee together (or your preferred morning beverage).

Inspired by a group in Portland, this is an Edmonton version of #CoffeeOutside. Once a week, everyone is invited to gather somewhere along the river valley — camp stoves, thermoses, and portable coffeemakers in hand — for a bit of early morning caffeine and fellowship.

This week the meeting will be at 7:15 am on Friday, November 28 at the wooden platform in Government Hill Park.

Come on down and bring a mug, some water, and whatever you need to brew a cup the way you like it. It’s guaranteed to be worth the grind.

5 things you can build with zero dollars by 2019

City Council's 2015-2018 Capital Budget currently has $0 allocated to active transportation. $0 for downtown bike routes. $0 for the next four years. What can you build with that much money?

1. You can build 0 meters of shared-use paths.

You didn't need to go anywhere, did you?

Active Transportation, currently unfunded in the budget, includes building shared-use paths (also known as multi-use trails), installing curb ramps requested by citizens, connecting isolated bus pads to sidewalks, maintenance of river valley stairs, and installing bike racks.

2. You can fulfill 0 requests for curb ramps and sidewalk connections to bus pads.

Roads are just wide sidewalks. It's true.

3. You can maintain 0 river valley staircases.

That's what the handrails are for.

4. You can install 0 bicycle racks.

Every business's dream.

5. You can build 0 km of high-quality priority bike infrastructure.

Projects not funded include: a protected, separated cycle track on 102 Avenue and bikeways along 100 Ave, 104 St, and 107 St downtown, as well as 51 Ave and 119 Ave bikeways.

The only project that is currently funded is the 83 Avenue bikeway, with $2.2 million in growth spending allocated.

Please, this time is critical for you to engage as a citizen. Council is debating the capital budget today, and will be making its decisions in early December. There's no time to wait: please write a short, polite letter to your councillor. Even if you know that your councillor already supports funding active transportation and cycling infrastructure: they need to hear from you to support their position in these discussions.

You can write something as simple as:

Dear Councillor,

My name is ⋯. I live in the ⋯ neighbourhood, and depending on my needs for any given trip, I might drive, take transit, walk or ride a bike.

Though I don't always ride a bike, I do strongly support investing in high-quality, cycling infrastructure. It is a priority for the health and safety of myself and my family, and should be a priority for this city, for its livability and its future.

I also support investing in active transportation, including building shared-use pathways, curb ramps and sidewalks. The active transportation program is essential to creating an accessible, equitable city, enabling people of all ages and abilities to actively pursue and participate in the spirit of this city.

Please fund bikeways and active transportation in the 2015-2018 Capital Budget.

Sincerely,

⋯

Winter Clothing Drive/Ride

Many of us ride in the winter and can afford to dress for it. Some in our city aren't so lucky, including many youth without a home. To help them, the #YEGBike community has launched a charity drive collecting winter clothing for YESS: Youth Empowerment & Support Services (formerly known as the Youth Emergency Shelter Society). Donations of jackets, toques, gloves, jeans, socks, and underwear can be dropped off until December 5 at:

• Revolution Cycle (15103 Stony Plain Road)
• Redbike (10918 88 Ave)
• Earth's General Store, both locations (9605 82 Ave, 10150 104 St)
• Mud, Sweat, & Gears (133 Main Blvd, Sherwood Park)

Let's show Edmonton that cyclists have heart!

On December 6, a group bike ride will deliver the donations. Please consider giving what you can to help keep marginalized youth warm this winter.

I Bike YEG

In October 2014, the Edmonton Bike Coalition asked Edmontonians to send pictures of themselves to support bike infrastructure in Edmonton's central neighbourhoods. In less than one month, over 1100 photos were submitted, providing a visible demonstration of the diversity and strength of support for Edmonton's transformation to a bicycle-friendly city.

In December 2014, City Council votes.

Bike routes: it's time to build.

Join the coalition at https://web.archive.org/web/20170911182251/http://yegbikecoalition.info/

The mosaic, composed from photos submitted by over 1100 current and potential Edmonton cyclists, is the culmination of the coalition’s campaign calling on City Council to provide funding to implement the City’s planned network of bike routes in Edmonton’s central neighborhoods within the next four years.

The photos show families and individuals of all ages holding signs with slogans like “I Bike,” “I Would Bike,” “My Friends Bike,” or “I Bike To School.”
