It’s incredible the level and amount of antipathy for cycling and cyclists in this neck of the woods. Cyclists are the true unsung heroes of our communities. Cycling is the answer to mitigating air pollution, traffic congestion and our reliance on fossil fuels as well as making cities more liveable. The attitude of the Dutch and Danish towards cycling as being an integral component to the urban transport system is to be admired. It would be kind of nice if that mentality could, at some point, weave its way into the Canadian consciousness as well? However that’s probably wishful thinking.
