Ottawa Cycling Unsafe and Dangerous for Cyclists

I woke up this morning to read about two cyclists getting into accidents with vehicles (CBC news story below). What an awful occurrence! Unfortunately, the losers in these collisions are always the cyclists. I don’t know the individuals involved nor do I know how the accidents...

Ottawa Cycling – ...

In my most recent post I talked about the much touted bicycle event that was to take place today here in Ottawa: Go Green, Go Dutch, Go Bike. Nasty (I mean NASTY!) weather could not deter some of Ottawa’s most die hard (eco-friendly) cyclists. Among them were myself, my wife...

Montreal is only a couple of hours away by car from Ottawa. You’d think that Helen & I would cycle there frequently. Unfortunately this is not the case as we have plenty of good cycling in our own back yard. Yesterday we decided to experience a small sample of what Montreal...

I came to a conclusion today about cycling in Ottawa. The infrastructure provided to us for cycling really sucks. There is simply no rhyme or reason to things. Go 1/2 kilometer on a public roadway and you will see anything from a shared route (bikes & cars) to a singular route...

Our bike-spotting trip to New York City was a bit lame. The trip itself was great. But the amount of bikes we saw (in movement) was disappointing. My hope was that our visit to Montreal would yield better results. OMG, it’s freezing here! It was minus 30 degrees with the wind...

Finally – a Canadian city is “getting it”. I knew this was on the way as I had seen the adverts whilst in Montreal recently. BIXI…… not sure about the name.

I am often amazed at the variety of cycling situations I come across. The world is truly incredible. My Step-Mother spent a few months in Asia this year. I had forgotten that her Brother had filmed bicycles and scooters in Asia. The following video was taken at a busy intersection...

I recently wrote about the amazing bicycle garages in the Netherlands (Holland). My friend Marc over at Amsterdamize.com made a great video that “takes you inside” a typical Dutch bicycle parking facility. Enjoy! As usual, your thoughts & comments are much appreciated.

Ottawa Cycling – ...

I went for ride with Helen last week. Our route took us up Woodroffe Avenue along a “shared use” route. For the uninitiated, a “shared-use” route is roadway where a part of the road is marked (mostly not too well) as being designated for Cyclists.

Yesterday I made a post about the case of a Critical Mass Rider being charged with assault by the NYPD, when video evidence clearly showed the Officer to be “mistaken” (aka he lied?). He has been identified by several news agencies as one Patrick Pogan, 22 – a Rookie.
