Fancy Women Bike Ride FAQs:
•May men join in?
Men may join, but please remember this is a women-led event. A great way to support us is to help marshal at intersections, take photos, or amplify the event on social media (use #FancyWomenRide, #FWBRyeg or #WomenRideBikes). Be mindful that, in sporting a top hat & cane in the 2023 ride, Pablo has set the style bar high!

Last Sunday, I participated in my city's Fancy Women Bike Ride. I made a short video on what I experienced and some of my thoughts on why such rides are important. https://youtu.be/HEoZZInT38g #cycling #BikeTooter #FWBR #urbanism

Our ally Darcy Renard has created a video about last Sunday's Fancy Women Bike Ride, and posted it on his great "Bike Bike, Nudge Nudge" YouTube channel!

A1: Coming at #BikeNite once again the next morning from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada (after a delicious evening on a patio with my partner kept me away last night).

The biggest cycling update from the week is that the Fancy Women Bike Ride (#FWBRyeg) was last Sunday, and while our numbers were challenged by wildfire smoke, we sill had fun getting fancy and taking over the bike paths of the city!

Update: The decidedly unwelcome #smoke is SUPER harshing my vibe today (of COURSE the first year it's actually warm enough, Edmonton's #FancyWomenBikeRide gets #SmokedOut, grr), but as you all well know, I've got a #MaskArt mask for that (for the benefit of anyone who's ever wanted to see one of them on someone's face rather than just on the counter!).

See those of you this level of smoke doesn't mess with too badly!

#FWBRyeg

I'm all set for Fancy Women Bike Ride tomorrow! I've talked my kid into coming, we've decorated their scooter and the bakfiets, we've picked out outfits, and even a couple of different mask options depending on air quality. #FWBRyeg

If you haven't yet signed up, THERE'S STILL TIME to decide to join us! Here's the link:

The route: we'll set off on the 102Ave bike lane and wend our way slowly through downtown, then cross the High Level bridge on the west side. After we climb the hill to the Garneau Lamp, we'll rest (It's all downhill after this). We'll head along Saskatchewan Drive to 106 St, and the fun Trolley Track. From there we'll ride through Old Strathcona towards the Bonnie Doon bridge, pass by Faculté St-Jean, and end the ride at Café Bicyclette. It's just over 8km. /3
