Sunny day, a jumble of bikes and bikers at River Hall
Bentley loudspeakering to the crowd
Attendees and a funky bike
Next stop was #RiverHall, where we talked about #Placemaking & the shift from downtown car awareness to park pedestrian awareness before hitting up the #BowRiverPathways. We also had friend Merv tell us about the great work @youthenroute.bsky.social does!

In 2024, we had an incredible time at Queen Elizabeth School teaching students the essentials of bike tire repair! Empowering young riders with hands-on skills for safer, smoother rides. We are keen to be back to work with more Grade 7s in 2025!🚲🔧 #BikeSkills #YouthenRoute
Biking to school in Calgary is something kids can do year round. Here’s a ride from last year. 🚲😀👍
