Rode to the shaw conference centre for the U of A Faculty of Arts convocation breakfast. My husband was giving a speech to the graduating class. Both he and the acting dean spoke about the inevitable depletion of fossil fuels and how it's up to the smart young minds of today to get out there are start thinking critically about our lifestyles and the kinds of communities we want to be a part of.
I agree wholeheartedly that a city like Edmonton has to think beyond singular, individual, suburban thinking and start reasonably considering lifestyles that are community centered, accessible by public transit and bike, and mindful of the future of this capital city in a province that exports SO much oil.
His executive assistant (aka my dear friend Leanne) and I biked to breakfast. Enough said!

Leanne's hair is so long now!
I love the white deep V's with the green frame. Though, really, it's all the little details that make that bike stellar.
Thank you! It's a very understated road bike, but to the trained eye it's super special. Well, it is to me. Will post some close ups of the bike another time.
love how the blue shoes match the blue bike. no skirt guard for your bikes??
Hey r! No skirt guards, not for road bikes:) The new pashley or batavus I'm contemplating will have them, though.
