Is it Time to Leave the Car at Home?

I came across an interesting cycling comments post on the CBC website - www.cbc.ca - a few days ago that I wanted to share with you. It turned out to be a lively discussion about what it would take to get people cycling to work instead of taking the car.

Of course with raising gas costs and focus on all environmental issues the post was quite timely. You will find fanatics on both sides of the cycling spectrum and almost every opinion in between. But it was not surprising that a large number of comments were based on how cities must improve cycling access to make cyclists feel safe in urban environments. Everything else seemed to be secondary.

If you would like to read all the comments for yourself they can be found at http://www.cbc.ca/news/yourview/2008/07/what_would_it_take_to_get_you.html .

I'm sure you'll enjoy the diverse views on the topic and I look forward to your own comments right here on Southern Ontario Cycling.
