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.

Thanks for the link! Interesting article. I think cycling to work should become more prevalent in Ontario, however, more bike lanes would be a preference from a safety point of view. I bike to work whenever possible and my observation is that the majority of drivers are not regularly looking for cyclists. That said, cyclists need to work much harder at being seen! Let's all work together!
