Katz plans to cycle to work that Friday. So far, so do Couns. Gord Steeves (St. Vital), Justin Swandel (St. Norbert), Jenny Gerbasi (Fort Rouge), Mike Pagtakhan (Point Douglas), Scott Fielding (St. James) and Russ Wyatt (Transcona).

The city plans to spend slightly more than $3 million this year on new bike trails and new bike lanes on streets.
