My latest column in the Maple Ridge News: is it possible to create a cycling culture in a car dominated city?
posted Dec 18
Pitt Meadows is already
a nice place to live if you like biking, but the city continues to look
for ways to make it safer, more convenient and better. Pitt Meadows is still looking for more
applicants for several volunteer positions on its new active
transportation advisory committee.
Sometimes people tell me investment in
cycling infrastructure is a waste of money; it’s no use trying to
convince more people to use their bikes to get around. They feel that
most Canadians will never adopt a cycling culture; they love their cars,
and that’s just the way things are.
I beg to differ.
