The Region of Waterloo - should be and always have been considering how to improve transit now rather than later...and I mean actual transit. Buses are fast, safe, sheltered and attract a very wide range of demographics which is important. 65+ year old women aren't going to be cycling or scootering around the city like a child, they want a bus and that's what needs the most drastic improvement. They can allow a young office worker to work dry and warm, rather than wet or sweaty. They allow you to carry home your groceries or haul on a stroller. There's so much more versatility and I wish we would see more money put into that instead of bullshit like downtown cycling grids and other novelties for the extremely tiny minority of Lycra wearing dorks who make cycling their entire personality.
This is mostly just a bunch of BS stereotypes. “like a child”? “Lycra wearing dorks”?
This is the kind of stuff that makes it hard to take some people seriously.
