Why are there no gran fondos in or near the city?

I’m still relatively new here, but looks like there used to be one in Strathcona county, but otherwise you have to go to different parts of the province to join a large, organized event ride (whether or not it’s for charity). Wondering if there’s any history/context about why we don’t really have anything in the city?

How do you handle "nice" drivers?

I take the bike lanes on 96th street through Delton a couple times per week. Pretty much every day there will be a scenario, where I have the stop sign, but a driver on the intersecting avenue will stop and try to wave me through like I'm a pedestrian.

Typically, I try and make eye contact with the driver then point to the stop sign to try and tell them that I have the stop sign. I don't think it ever registers though.

How do you handle those types of situations?
