Saskatoon will need a compromise to improve safety on Millar Avenue, stakeholders say | CBC News North Saskatoon Business Association executive director Keith Moen and Warrick Baijius, who represents pedestrian advocacy group Walking Saskatoon, discussed the issues in a sit-down interview with CB...

This is not an accurate framing of the Millar/51st conversation.

The only thing that stands to be compromised here is safety itself.

If business is "all about safety" they should support the changes without reservation.

Thank you, Saskatoon, for a great Winter BYXE ("bikes") Week!!

Cyclists of all ages took part in the Scavenger Hunt, Bike to Work Day, Social Media contest, and our slow rolls. Businesses donated prizes and staffed commuter stations. It was a show of community.

Stay tuned for Spring BYXE Week! πŸ˜€

Cycle infrastructure in the Netherlands.

The cycleway continues across the side road, clearly signalling that drivers must give way. At the roundabout, both the cycleway and pedestrian crossings have priority, so motorists yield again.

Simple design, clear rules, safer streets.

Thanks to the roughly 60 people who took part in Toronto's solidarity ride for Alex Pretti, as well as to the over 100 other cities around the world who also hosted rides. Here's a video I recorded as the ride passed by Queen's Park. #BikeTO #BikeSky #TOpoli #VikingBiking #StopICE

Didn’t get great pics bc I can’t bike with one hand but the NYC ride for Alex Pretti was hugeβ€”this is the back! My favorite part was biking through another protest and all of us cheering for each other

Strong turnout for Austin's Alex Pretti memorial bike ride. The mood was mostly somber, interspersed with protest chants. Abolish ICE.

Video is worth a lot of words. 😊

An old-timey, Wild West styled "wanted" poster for "snirt" or "brown snow", featuring a front bicycle wheel in front of some sandy, dirty slush in a Saskatoon winter.

Winter's here, so be on the lookout for "snirt" (snow dirt)!

AKA "brown snow", AKA "brown sugar", we mean that no good mix of snow, dirt, sand, and/or salt that is loose and slushy and can cover icy patches underneath.

It can be dangerous.

Have fun but be vigilant. Enjoy the adventure!
