I just want to say that I appreciate these efforts to improve cycling in Ontario, and I hope this action plan will be well-funded.

I believe that cycling is a life skill and everyone should have the opportunity to learn how to cycle safely.

Cycling, like swimming, is not a skill one masters in a one-hour session or a one-time event.  It requires incremental learning over a period of time.

It is inspiring to to see the province of Ontario moving forward with a comprehensive cycling strategy!  I am an Ottawa resident who has moved from being a recreational cyclist who occasionally cycled to work to a regular bike commuter and bicycle tourist over the last five years or so.&nbsp

Teaching cyclists, drivers and pedestrians the rules of the road from a young age is very important. While my community has started to put in some bike lanes they are either not used or not used properly.

Cycling infrastructure is essential if we wish to build healthier, more sustainable cities. We need more of this!

1.Will the proposed initiatives help us achieve Ontario’s goals for cycling

2.What challenges should we expect to encounter as we pursue the proposed initiatives

I'm excited to see the Province funding active transportation infrastructure in municipalities, however I am not satisfied that all of this money has gone towards infrastructure that actually makes cycling safer.

Let's keep moving in the right direction!

CYCLING AND TRANSIT

A key opportunity regarding THE Cycling Ontario program is to work with municipalities to develop safe, convenient routes to Transit stations for cyclists from communities up to 5 km from these Transit stops.

Très belle initiative, et très importante pour tous les  :

-piétons

-cyclistes

-bus

-automobiles et véhicules commerciaux

#4)  Please include OPHEA, CANBIKE, and other curriculum writers/developers in your plans to develop a comprehensive cycling educati that doesn't allow children to acquire a skill set necessary to keep them safe on the roads.  I recognize these events are fun, but they are not addressin

# Will the proposed initiatives help us achieve Ontario's goals for cycling?

Maybe.

I recommend that Action Plan 2.0 include the following action items:

I believe the comp and drivers to be aware of cyclists coming from behind.

The next couple of years is going to see some substantial cycling infrastructure being built. I would like to see the province to develop and assist in coordinating the collection of monitoring data that can be used to justify the continued expansion of the cycling network.

and specifically, as proposed in the NOMTS, the implementation of provincial cycling infrastructure projects with highway rehabilitation work.

Acti  that 'Coal Roll' cyclists.  There is legislature in many U.S. districts to control these acts of violence against cyclists.

1) Design healthy, Active and Prosperous Communities

OVCATA suggests involving school boards and active transportation groups where possible.

2) Improve Cycling Infrastructure

To advance cycling the Ministry of Educati. Wayfinding signs and maps should be mandated and funded to encourage people to take safer streets.

Hi -

I'm a 53 year old cyclist who averages about 8,000 to 10,000 km a year  for working on the bike, easy access to water, etc …

That's all I have off the top of my head.

Cheers,

Jim
