Learn more about Cargo Bikes, Biking in Edmonton, or Active Transportation

Do you want to learn more about cargo bikes, cycling, or making a happier, healthier city for everyone? You probably landed on this page from a QR code on my bike. There are so many wonderful bikes to choose from as you can see at the videos below.

Start here first with these stories of Edmonton families who have gone car-less or car-free with Electric Cargo Bikes:

Avoiding the gas pumps. Being able to take the family from place to place, while seeing the city at the same time.

On Monday, Ward Papastew Coun. Michael Janz and a group of cargo bike enthusiasts met at the Garneau Lamp, just to the south of the High Level Bridge, to show off their two-wheeled treasures.

And, over and over, these riders told me that saving money in the time of high fuel prices, plus the ability to make their journeys part of their family adventures, were the reasons that they’d integrated cargo bikes into their lifestyles.

These bikes offer the ability to haul major items — some up to 440 pounds. Most of them have battery-assisted power. They can handle large loads of groceries or multiple kids. One person told me she hauled a Christmas tree home on her bike.

Tariffs or not: be a tourist in our hometown

With all of the uncertainty and bullying coming from the United States, more and more folks are talking about “staycations”, not only staying in Alberta but right here in our own city. This is a timely opportunity for us to revisit our pre-pandemic haunts and rekindle our romance with the city!

With 250,000 new residents moving to Edmonton in the last 5 years, what are your favourite local tourist destinations that you would want to share with someone visiting Edmonton?

Tell The Premier: Pay your property taxes before providing a dollar to Daryl Katz

1. Defending the public interest (next steps towards halting the Katz group handout)

2. Fighting for Renters (Bad news from the Hazeldean townhomes)

3. More Public Transit Service Hours

4. New projects underway: walking, biking, and rolling

Finally, a special shout out to the workers of CUPE Local 30 who are out there filling the potholes and fixing our streets in these extreme weather fluctuations. I spent time this week visiting various crews around the city and delivering donuts with their union President, Eric Lewis. Thank you to all the frontline workers keeping our city moving!

Big Questions before a Billionaire Bonus

Amidst the madness of the USA offering free reign over their government and spending to a billionaire, you might have missed our own dose of local corporate welfare. Every Albertan should be offended.

I’m not talking about the orphan oil wells bailout or the growing scandal around healthcare contracts, or even Dynalife. I’m talking about a new agreement pulled together between the Provincial Government and Daryl Katz’s OEG Sports & Entertainment (OEGSE). Katz is listed in Maclean's magazine as the 29th wealthiest Canadian.
