Fat and money

Officially, bicycles are vehicles under the Highway Traffic Act.

Except we all know they are not!

Cyclists are supposed to leave the real lane for cars, squeezing down into a bike lane, expect when there is no room for the bike lane.

What are we expected to do then?

–Environment Canada, “each Canadian makes an average of 2,000 car trips of less than 3 km each year. …For distances up to 5 km, cycling is recognized as the fastest of all modes from door to door.”


The sooner the bike network is completed, the sooner we start saving money, losing pounds, feeling better and helping the environment.
