Original Title: Edmonton Bike Swap is May 11 at MacEwan University North Side 10803-105 Ave NW. We hope to continue helping thousands of Albertans with transportation security, prevent the sale and purchase of stolen bikes as Bike Index Ambassadors, and we're doing a bike drive for Sports Ce

Just in case this is tl:dr Edmonton Bike Swap is on May 11th at MacEwan University. But, if you have questions then please read below.

First, we'd like to thank Edmonton Reddit Moderators for allowing us to promote our non-profit bike swap event once. Full disclosure that we have a $2.00 admission that will be used to repair the donated bikes. More below.

Why we do what we do - we’re Chris and Laura and we didn’t feel safe buying or selling bikes online so we founded, fund, and operate Alberta Bike Swap a non-profit that provides a safe place to buy, sell, and donate bicycles.

If you have a bike to sell we’ll tech check that bike and run the serial number through our software to verify bike ownership because no one wants to buy a stolen bike.

Want to buy a bike? Stand in line, suggest no later than 10:00. IF you can pay the $2.00 admission that $2.00 will go to repair the hundreds of donated bikes.

Have a stolen bike police report? All the bikes will be entered into the swap by 1400, please come to our event at 1400 so that you can see for yourself that your bike isn't in our event. The police and RCMP have seized bikes from online sales and pawnshops based on what we do, and insurance companies use our paperwork as proof.

We added children's bikes to our events because it helps families.

We work with over 30 groups to rebuild donated bikes too and have over 80 partners that help us help others. We work with every group in Alberta, except one: .

We're doing a bike drive for Sports Central to help them. If you have an unused or have outgrown a bike we have a partner that would recondition that bike for re-use.

Municipalities spend millions on cycling infrastructure, but nothing on cycling education. We fund legitimate cycling education through CAN-BIKE, which is the only recognized cycling education program in Canada and there are only four (4) CAN-BIKE cycling instructors in Alberta. Want to learn how to safely and proficiently?

We can’t put our events on without wonderful people like you and we thank you for reading this, hopefully putting up our poster, and maybe following us on social media on LinkedIn, Twitter, FB, or IG.

The swaps are run from our kitchen table by just the two of us, we do the best we can to help as many people as we can and every bike counts.

Would you walk in this neighbourhood with your kids or pets?

Know this person?

See article.

Grainy surveillance footage has captured at least one male hurling items off Whitemud Drive overpasses onto traffic below.

Is anyone surprised that after they got them to close by the shiny new arena that they’re now trying to back out of their deal?

I find that I have more time to react to pedestrian's or avoid collisions when I'm doing 30-40 km/h in a playground, school or residential area. The only problem is most times drivers behind me are inpatient. They honk or try to overtake. Classic Edmonton drivers.

Here are some opportunities to offer your input on civic initiatives, including renewal projects in Glenwood and Lansdowne, Valley Line West LRT communications, Castle Downs Park plans, and the Vibrant Street Art Contest.

There was a 2-hour lockdown because a guy was carrying a lighter and somebody thought it was a gun. The "active shooter" was barricaded with everyone else and had no clue what was going on.

Teachers employed by the Edmonton School Division have voted 97 per cent in favour of authorizing the Alberta Teachers’ Association (ATA) to request a government-supervised strike vote.

Pretty crazy what lengths militaries will go to win a war!

"Project Habakkuk or Habbakuk was a plan by the British during the Second World War to construct an aircraft carrier out of pykrete (a mixture of wood pulp and ice) for use against German U-boats in the mid-Atlantic, which were beyond the flight range of land-based planes at that time."

How did the driver not see this coming?! So sad.

I'm a school bus driver myself. I'll tell you the issue is that they're short drivers because they pay peanuts. The buses are coming that late because drivers are doing routes after their first routes. All the school bus companies somehow pay the exact same rates. There is no competition between them, but "they're trying everything."
