I thought others might find this story interesting as well. Its on MSNBC news and talks about the increasing bicycle traffic on roads especially as more commuters park their cars. This is a good thing, but comes with problems of course (as we all probably already know…)
Anyway, check out the link if you’re interested.

I’ve noticed quite an increase in bicycle traffic here in Steinbach. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a corresponding increase in bike / auto incidents as well. I’m disappointed that an eastbound bicycle lane wasn’t added when Loewen Blvd was resurfaced. Considering how easy it is to integrate bicycle and pedestrian traffic, I’m surprised thet Steinbach planners aren’t doing more in this regard.
