Cycling in Waterloo Region

[Pheidippides]

They really need to install some bike racks along the bike lanes in uptown. People are locking them up to the brand new trees and damaging them.

I work in uptown and last week passed through the section with the new lanes by foot or bike in the morning, around noon, and late afternoon, Tuesday through Friday (at least 12 passes through the area). On at least three quarters of them I saw at least one obstruction (vehicle or object) blocking the way. Sadly, that actually beat my expectations; I thought it was going to be a lot worse.

Also, I saw zero patrols, regular or dedicated, and no tickets on windshields.
