Cycling in Waterloo Region

[robdrimmie]

With regards to the roads where there's only space for one bike lane, my preference would be for it to be on the uphill side. Not for any data-based reasoning, just personal preference. I'm less stable and confident when going uphill, so dedicated space and more room for powered vehicle traffic to pass me is much nicer. When going downhill I have more control and as a result I feel as though, in an emergency situation, I'd have more brain power to apply towards where and how to bail safely.
