YEG Coffee Outside

A group of YEG Coffee Outside partakers in a park like setting.

The coffee maker man.

Good Friday, Good People, & Good Coffee Outside...
Nice to see some familiar faces as I buzzed by @coffeeoutside.bsky.social on my legs this morning. With @drdagly.bsky.social serving up the delish diuretics on his bike coffee bar thingee. ✌️

Yay!

cherry chocolate and orange white chocolate scones

I don't assume that there will be a lot of people at @coffeeoutside.bsky.social tomorrow, but if you're there, there will be baking.

It’s full spring. Let’s hang out with coffee and chat tomorrow. Free coffee from the @handlebarista until the beans run out, from 7 to 9 am at Ezio Faraone Park, this Friday.

Sounds like we gotta get the barista bike rolling.

Roasting the beans as we speak.

Perfection

Come on down to Ezio Faraone Park this Friday morning between 7 and 9. Bring your cups and a smile. Free coffee until the beans run out.

A park with red brick, empty benches under a pre-sunrise sky.

Practically daylight out here, ample seating & you won’t perish in the cold!
Three solid reasons to be @coffeeoutside.bsky.social

I was working, but I passed by.

Photo daytime, winter, Ezio Faraone Park, Edmonton. Foreground: a cargo bike with coffee urns. A man, known as the "handlebarista", serves coffee. Four people standing near the bike waiting for coffee. In the background the park grounds are golden with small smudges of snow and trees empty of leaves.

Photograph, winter, daytime, Ezio Faraone Park. A group selfie of 10 people, on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of coffee outside. In the background is the statue of the constable For whom the park is named. To the left of the photo is one of the Coffee Outside originators.

Photograph, winter, Ezio Faraone Park, December 2024. A woman wearing a winter coat and cycling helmet holds a sticker to the camera. The sticker is a cargo bike with the number 10 and the word anniversary superimposed on the box. The woman is one of the originators of Edmonton's Coffee Outside group, and the sticker is celebrating the 10th anniversary.

Lots of people are summer cyclists only (at 1st 😉)
I should have added: follow @coffeeoutside.bsky.social for updates. If you're lucky, you'll get to meet the handlebarista ( @drdagly.bsky.social), or Glenn the Master of Metaphor
Here's a photo from the 10th Anniversary.
It's a fabulous group!

Just me and Ezio so far at @coffeeoutside.bsky.social

Congratulations on winning some studded tires! Hope to see you at some other @coffeeoutside.bsky.social!!

It’s pretty cool when you are celebrating @coffeeoutside.bsky.social in the park and your mayor and MLA show up to celebrate with you! #yegbike oh and this absolute queen @jkparker.bsky.social made stickers!

@coffeeoutside.bsky.social
Happy 10th Anniversary!

An excellent morning @coffeeoutside.bsky.social with many special guests! 10/10 would recommend.

On Nov. 21, 2014, a small group of cyclists decided to found a new tradition - @coffeeoutside.bsky.social.

10 years later, it’s still going strong, with cyclists meeting every Friday from 7-8:30 AM to share coffee, snacks & good company. #yegbike

Photograph, daylight, winter. Woman in snow clothing and bike helmet with goggles holds a sticker of a bakfeits with "10 years" printed. Background is a snowy park.

Photograph, daylight, winter, MLA David Shepherd, wearing black snow gear holds a folder with a certificate of congratulations to Coffee Outside. Aan in bike helmet and yellow jacket looks over Shepherd's shoulder towards the camera

Photograph, daytime, two silver haired women flank Edmonton Mayor Amarjeet Sohi. All smile at the camera.

Mayor Amarjeet Sohi stands with a group looking at the bakfiets bicycle holding a stainless steel firepit, from which bright yellow and orange flames are showing. Background is a snowy park, at dawn.

Karen brought coffee & stickers, Matt brought the Bonfire Bike, Dave Shep brought a certificate of recognition from the Legislature, I brought #Yegbike fridge magnets and Mayor Sohi hung out, chatted, & took selfies. @coffeeoutside.bsky.social's 10th Anniversary was nice.

I made some pumpkin olive oil muffins for tomorrow’s @coffeeoutside.bsky.social

Do you ever come to @coffeeoutside.bsky.social, on Friday mornings?
Nov 22 is the 10th Anniversary of the 1st gathering of community of bicycle commuters?

Starting my morning with @coffeeoutside.bsky.social

@coffeeoutside.bsky.social

The wannabe populist premier of Ontario is trying to use bike lanes as a wedge to curry favour with his base. He'd put road safety, municipal budgets & climate targets at risk, to retain power. But TO has been responding, critically:
