If you build it & it's safe, they will use it!!

It's not just Hamilton!!

Even New York City is building and expanding protected bike lanes or cycle tracks.

Add judging by the number of cyclists, everyone from all ages uses them.

The creator of the video posted the following comments, "I've been riding in this city since the early 1990s. If you ever told the ever-optimistic 25 year old me that you'd see these numbers of people riding along the waterfront on Kent, I'd probably say you were dreaming. But sometimes with good planning and putting people first, dreams do come true."

With protected bike lanes, more will cycle, especially those concerned with safety.  This will mean fewer short trips by car and a happier healthier Burlington.
