I live close to my work in Guelph, so I ride my bike to work in the Spring, Summer and Fall and walk in the winter. The bike lanes make me feel safe on the main roads. I am in my fifties and riding to and from work is great exercise.
I use my car for errands and travel to the cottage or to visit friends and family. I appreciate bike lanes on the main roads when I am driving because it allows for safe distance from a cyclist without me having to change lanes.
More people on bikes in the cities reduces the number of people in cars and congestion and increases the level of health in the population which reduces the pressure on healthcare and reduces the emissions/ pollution in the air.
I think people should be encouraged to ride bikes and a safe cycling lane network is part of that.
