Cycling in Waterloo Region

[danbrotherston]

Really sorry that happened. I know far too many people who have been hit by cars on their bikes.

I have mixed feelings about the Erb Street lanes because I worry about precisely the left turning traffic hitting cyclists travelling the same way as them. It's a reservation I have about 2-way separated lanes in general.

The same way as them is the direction cyclists would be moving in a one way bike lane.

I think two way bike lanes do have a higher injury rate but I think the real problem/solution is designing safe intersections regardless of type of bike lane.
