Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 07/09/2012 (4946 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
It’s been two years since a $20.4-million federal stimulus program helped kickstart Winnipeg’s active-transportation network and build more than 100 km of lanes, pathways and track in record speed. The good news is, Winnipeg has made major gains and has caught up to some Canadian cities to make the bicycle an option for getting around.
The not so-good-news is cycling can still be tricky — and sometimes even scary — on trouble spots such as bridges or underpasses.
Cyclists Tom McMahon and Jeremy Hull took the Free Press on a spin of some downtown routes that can pose challenges to cyclists who want to commute.
They say Winnipeg still needs more bike infrastructure and to educate motorists and cyclists on how to share the road.
