Cycling in Waterloo Region

[danbrotherston]

This *does* mean that bylaw can now ticket. But if no one can park *or* bike there, the more useful thing would be to put at least traffic cones or the A-frame blockers that they use to keep parallel parking clear before they setup for a festival.

Yes, that would be useful.  I do wonder if bylaw will ticket, I'm going to guess the policy will be not, but we will see.

As for snow removal in bike lanes, the short answer is "no" but the city claims yes (as possible) at every turn (as the tweet shows).

The long answer is frequently cars and buses drive in the bike lanes meaning that it occasionally gets cleared for short segments, which means cars will harass you if you don't ride in them, even though they're intermittent, which means on road bike lanes make cycling worse in the winter, I avoid them at all costs in the winter.
