      Bike infrastructure isn’t great. City started having some bike lanes but they aren’t all over the place, and a lot of cars and trucks are still disrespecting those lanes.

      Not good. I used to bike everywhere but a portion of motorists have become so openly hostile and vindictive that it is unsafe anyplace infra isn’t fully separated. I’ve been run off the road enough times and I rarely do it anymore, despite that it was one of my favourite things once.

          We are already benefiting from such movements, eg Critical Mass. Imagine what it would be like without.

              It would be, if it was directly witnessed by a police officer who is sympathetic and not also hostile to cyclists, and isn’t already busy or “busy”.

                  It’s not inadmissible in court but it’s also not likely to cause the police top open an investigation or seek charges

      Bad enough in my area that I’m surprised our air ambulance helicopters don’t have bike racks for how often they’re picking up mangled cyclists lately.
