Thanks for the heads-up on the bridge situation! I have been meaning to check out the Homer Watson park for some time anyway but it's nice to know I can probably take my road bike down Old Mill, it's really my favourite way south.
A couple of times I've had "nice" drivers stop one lane of traffic for me I've turned around and made like I'm going back the way I came... but like many other solutions it's a bit of a time-waster. Sometimes when it's beneficial to me and safe I just go. I also don't really care all that much anymore; riding in the city is going to entail delays of some kind, be it stop lights or trail congestion, I can't be bothered by a few minutes here or there, it's still nicer on a bike than in my car. In a way I'm kind of glad that people are "seeing" cyclists and looking out for us, even if it might not make perfect sense.
