Calgary Bike Lanes and Bike Paths

The 15 avenue cycle track isn’t even open yet, is it? Bell’s complaint about that is (unsurprisingly) baseless. And if the 11 street track is partially closed for construction and doesn't really go anywhere right now past 12 avenue, it sure seems pretty selective to pick this spot. We have such a fragile cycle track network that “detours” are, frequently, instructions to dismount and walk. But I guess the problem for Bell, Smith, Davison, and Dreeshen is that they exist at all.

I see loads of fellow cyclists when I commute to work or run errands. You know who else I see using the cycle tracks? People in motorized wheelchairs, in part because we have the wimpiest sidewalks of any city I've been to. The provincial and, increasingly, municipal governments do not appear to want Calgary to function like a city.

Bananas.
