We saw a problem & built tools. Software. Hardware. Processes. Partnerships. Safety layers. We don’t just run an event. We engineered a micro-economy with ethics baked in. Most people see bikes & we built a trust infrastructure. https://albertabikeswap.ca/
Our events are a thief-free zone for Alberta cyclists! 🚲🛡️
We check @project529.bsky.social global database to ensure every bike at our events has a verified ownership history: real-world tech for real-world security! #Project529 #AlbertaBikeSwap #CircularEconomy #EndBikeTheft
Celebrating a decade of teamwork! 🚲🌉

As 1of3 women in CS @ualberta.bsky.social in the 80s we coded from 1201-0600 & slept in safety. I tutored engineers in WATFOR who later told me I wasn't technical enough for jobs. Decades later, I’ve built the only bike swap software with $0 in innovation or technical grants.💻🚲 #IWD2026 #WomenInTech

But cyclists don't have a bike lane to their front door. Learning to ride confidently anywhere by taking legitimate cycling education works.
My worst bike accident was in a bike lane when I stopped at stop sign, but the cyclist behind me didn't know that they had to follow the rules of the road.
Safe cycling starts at school!
