The awful cycling injuries I’ve seen are preventable – governments must build bike lanes

Our politicians should know that each time a cyclist lands in the ER with a smashed face or is struck and killed by a truck, it’s due to bad infrastructure
You're viewing a single thread.
Bike lanes, yes, but this past weekend I saw the aftermath of a cyclist hit on a highway. There have to be long distance routes for folks that want to commute, to train. It has to be separated from cars and safe.
cyclist hit on a highway
Like a full-on, "no cyclists allowed" highway? 401? 404? etc.? (EDIT: just seeing that this is for Vancouver... the highways I listed are near Toronto).
There are plenty of alternatives to those highways (which are illegal to cycle on), but I agree that there needs to be way more infrastructure for long distance, municipality to municipality cycling.
There are stretches of Highway 1 in North Van that allows cyclists. Personally I wouldn't, but it's not illegal
Not Vancouver or Toronto. I’ve never seen anything against bicycling on that stretch and, to the contrary, see a few hardcore road folks most times I use it.
