Edmonton Bicycle Commuters Society

Curious about the best bicycle route to get from home to work?  From the far southwest to the far northeast?  Going some place you’ve never biked before, and want some advice on paths and low-traffic roads?

Check out Bikely for some existing bike routes. If you can’t find the route you want, e-mail .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) with your start and destination addresses, and we’ll custom map a route for you.

The City of Edmonton also   provides free bike maps of the city, which you can use to make your own route.

This is a site where you can learn how to keep your bike safe from theft, as well as find resources on what to do if your bike is stolen.  You can also post information about your stolen bike, in the hopes that some honest person might spot it and return it to you.

This is a site for all of you Edmonton-area cyclists who come across situations where cars are blatantly breaking traffic laws in a way that endangers you and/or prevents you from cycling safely and efficiently throughout the city.

Armed with cameras, we will document the actions of those who disregard traffic laws to show that we do have legitimate concerns about our rights on the road.

Cars aren’t the only hazards in bike lanes, either. Anything on the roadway that shouldn’t be there can be an obstacle to safety and efficiency.  Gravel, potholes, glass and snow may all force you to change course in order to ensure your own safety.

Since September 2007, members of EBC have placed Ghost Bikes at the scene of fatal accidents involving cyclists as memorials to fellow cyclists who have been killed on the streets of Edmonton.
