Cycling in Waterloo Region

[dtkmelissa]

Apparently, the owners of the shopping centres at Highland & Westmount do not realize that cyclists also go shopping. I do much of my shopping on Highland by bicycle. I will be avoiding shopping at any shops in those particular strip malls in the future.

I used to have a few small 'business-card' style notes that simply said that I'm a cyclist and would love to bike to your establishment but there's no place to park my bike. I included my email to follow up. I did have one or two businesses follow up with me. I haven't done that for awhile, but I do think it is important (if able) to let folks know there's a demand for more bike parking. Unfortunately, with many of the plazas, bike parking decisions are made at higher levels than any one business owner.
