Episode Details

Edmontonians rally behind bike lanes as city council clears the air: no delays planned despite provincial legislation worries. Over 60 supporters, including a cyclist whose mother was injured by a car door, argue bike infrastructure is a civic mandate—and cyclists deserve safe streets. Even skeptics admit bike lanes benefit everyone, including drivers who need more road space. With 70% of residents saying they’d ride if safer, the province counters that its new rules prioritize safety and community needs, having already funded local improvements. Police data shows steady cyclist injuries—though none this year. In response, the YEG Bike Coalition launches a provocative August event: a week where cyclists reclaim regular roads to show drivers what life looks like without protected lanes.
