Seems fitting for today ❄️ ⛄️
Here is a really great update from the city on the Victoria Avenue rehabilitation. What do you think of the new cycling tracks?
We will have free bike parking at tomorrow's Word On The Street Saskatoon. Check out the map to find out where the valet will be located.
T’is the season 🧤🍁🍂
We are all set up at the Hampton Village Community Association Cinema night.
How incredible is this❤️🚲❤️
We need three more people for the Hampton Village Community Association Cinema night: http://signup.com/go/weuvRpK
If you are able to volunteer, we would love to have you at the valet. Hampton Village Community Association
Well, we are not even through one event and already recruiting for the next two. Almost 8,000 bike parked this summer with 300 volunteer hours🤗🚴♀️

Our friends at PeopleForBikes.org are gathering bicycling infrastructure data for Canadian cities. The survey results are used to help cities grow bicycling quickly. Pease take a moment and complete their short survey and share with your friends.

Different modes of transport that work in congested inner cities.
This is pretty neat.
We will be on-site for the Fireworks Festival and hope to see all of our followers there.
But one of the big barriers for a lot of people new to bike commuting is what to do once you actually arrive at work. How do you transition from your bike ride to a full day at the office? Won’t you be gross and sweaty? How do you carry everything you need? What do you need?
The Bike Valet has been asked to be a part of the Nutrien Fireworks Festival starting August 31. The goal with each valet is to help to reduce traffic and parking congestion and encourage Active Transportation use in Saskatoon. Of course the service depends on our volunteer labour for the grunt work (hauling equipment to and from), event set up and tear down, and of course the actual valet service itself. If you can give two hours of your time during the Fireworks Festival, we would appreciate it.
Plus come showtime, you will have one of the best seats in the house.

The secret is out💁🏼♀️
“Until recently, traffic engineers designed streets solely to move cars. For them, street trees were to be eliminated as roadside hazards and landscaped zones were a hindrance to “vehicle throughput.” Today, though, planners increasingly see space for trees and plants as vital to safety, clean waterways, and resiliency and adaptation to climate change.”
We’ve been smoked out. The Fringe has come to an early end, due to extreme smoke, so our Bile Valet is also closing—we will not be accepting any additional bikes tonight.
Please share!
As the Fringe wraps up, we are looking to fill our last Bike Valet shifts and hope you can help––even better bring a friend and then take in a show (for free because you volunteered).
The reason we are always looking to fill shifts for the Bike Valet is because it runs on volunteer power.
