One of those improvements is a bicycle lane. Great, except... The vast majority of the bike lanes in that city are right in the door zone of the parked cars next to the bike lane = more dangerous to ride the bike lane than it is to ride in the traffic lane further away from parked cars. Many people simply do NOT realize how far an open car door extends into a bike lane. Nearby there is a 75kms long rail-trail that one weekdays hardly has anyone on it except in the early evenings and most of those people riding it have their cars parked in the parking lot at the trail head and those people don't ride very far = about 10 kilometers in one direction if that. One the weekends in summer it's far faster and safer to use the nearby road to get to the next town that the rail-trail connects to. On weekends the rail-trail is full of dog walkers with dogs on long thin retractable leashes that can't be sen stretching across the trail and with the walkers wearing earbuds/headphones with the volume so high they can not hear a bell or yell.

Same rules apply in Quebec as far as flashing white lights. I think rear red lights can be flashing. Like Ontario though, DRLs are not mandatory on bicycles. I've been blinded at night by bright bicycle lights when jogging or XC skiing on trails. As I said, there was one instance where I actually saw a rider because of his flashing light in the sun (an no, it wasn't 1/2 mile away but more like 20 meters) but that was the only time. And this is illegal here anyway. |

Cheers The new Quebec Highway Code caught people's attention because the fines for missing reflectors went from 15 bucks to 60. Given the 6 required, that's a $360 fine. And with road bikes not having pedals to mount the required reflectors, it was an issue. They've modified it to allow reflective tape to replace these. What was generally missed is where the law used to say that we had to ride to the far right except when turning left, it now stipulates "except to avoid hazards and defines the door zone as a hazard." We'll see what happens. Last year they added the 1 or 1.5m passing rule and increased fines for dooring. But as far as I can determine, no one has been fined for these things. |

I don't think it's harassment. I think it's "What the heck is that??" coupled with low IQ. I now do much more night driving on rural roads than I used to. ISTM the worst headlight offenders are pickup truck drivers. Their lights are high, they seem to refuse to dim them more than most, and they very often have auxiliary driving lights that they also leave on. "MFFY." -- - Frank Krygowski |

If S & J have rebutting data for a representative sample of California bike trails - NOT just cherry picked paths into Apple - they should post it. But, I wonder. Isn't most bike riding primarily recreation. I'm sure it is, at least here. When I lived in the Netherlands it sure wasn't. For me, now in the US, it is partially for sports and training (not so much recreation) but there are also plenty of utility rides. Like the ride today. In Bangkok, because of the traffic I ride really in the morning, about the time that a bloke might be setting off for the office and I do, occasionally see people that seem heading for work, but I see far more that just seem out for a ride. Now, I am aware that there are individuals who have and do ride to work but I would also have to say that an anomaly doesn't necessarily prove a point. The fact that a certain number of people up in the N.W. corner of the U.S. enjoy riding in the rain (they must the only times I have ever been in the Sea-Tac area it rained) isn't necessarily proof positive that an equal number of folks are riding to work in Nome, Alaska, or Dry Prong, Louisiana. Now, I am aware that people do ride a bicycle to the shop to get a can of beans but these same people have one or two cars in the garage. We do have two cars in the garage. Each sees around 1000mi/year. I assume you can guess why those numbers are so low, mine used to be much higher. If the bicycles are for work, what are the cars for? Have you ever tried to haul half a ton of wood pellets, firewood, construction lumber and whatnot on a bicycle, uphill? With uphill I mean some serious hills. And before anyone argues "I gotta have a car" I remind you that Frank, and undoubtedly many others, have ridden from one side of the country to the other... on a bicycle. Good Lord, Lewis and Clark walked! I need a car indeed. That depends on your transportation needs. I even carry machine parts to clients via bicycle. However, if they are too large or heavy I use the SUV. This is not a black and white matter. It makes sense to have different kinds of vehicles but to prefer the ones that improve personal fitness and are better for the environment where possible. "Possible" is the salient word here. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |
