#bike racks are often sited on private land — and because they’re not legally required by most city building codes, unlike car parking — many local governments have no idea where #cyclists can publicly lock up”
"To have viable #activetransportation, you have to have safe, shared streets — and you have to have a safe, convenient, and secure network of excellent #bike parking”

...and you can, too. Here's why that's so vital.

Frontage roads can be the missing link in your city's bike network. Nobody's looking at them.

Every city has gaps where cyclists are forced onto major arterials. Many of those gaps run right next to frontage roads. Lower volume. Parallel to destinations. Existing right-of-way. Frontage roads and bike network planning rarely happen in the same conversation. They should.

Utility corridors run under your city for miles with no cars. There's your trail.

Transmission lines, gas pipelines, water trunk lines - wide easements, cleared land, maintenance access. Coordination with utility owners is the hard part, but it has been done in dozens of cities. The physical opportunity is already there. It just needs a trail on it.

We cut these flowers from our yard on Saturday to take to a friend’s 80th birthday celebration. Wish we could likewise take some to @Kleen and @Weather_Rock_Wx, in gratitude for their May 2 and May 5 donations. These faithful donors—they pitch in every month!—are so appreciated.

Pedal Poll/Sondo Vélo 2024 is taking place June 4 to 9. The count is a chance to evaluate the state of cycling in our communities. Together we get a “snapshot” of what cycling looks like in communities across Canada, at the same time, year over year. The data collected helps build the case for more, and better, cycling infrastructure. This growing data set is there for everyone to use to advocate for access to safe cycling choices for everyone, everywhere.
