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
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.
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.
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.
