about

In 1990 there were scant bike lanes in Edmonton. When cyclists wished to get from the University of Alberta to 109 St and the high level bridge, they could either take a long, round about, but sanctioned route, or ride against the minimal traffic along the westbound only 88 Avenue. Most chose this easier, shorter option, but the police were clamping down. People who felt they were doing the right thing by cycling more, were facing criminal charges. And so it was that four people pooled together some hockey sticks and $3.17 to buy some white paint, paint brushes and duct tape and early one Spring morning they marked out a very wobbly contraflow bike lane, going eastbound along 88 Ave.

This morning Peter Chapman and Karly Coleman, CJSR's bicycle traffic reporter, heard their story of dissidence, marketing and ultimately how their guerrilla act of civic engineering changed the shape of cycling infrastructure in Edmonton.
