Should the government promote the use of bicycles by expanding bike lanes and bike-sharing programs?

No

Yes, and there should be more protections set in place for cyclists on public roadways.

Yes, but require cyclists to pass a course for cycling in traffic, lane use, etc.

No, much of Canada is too cold for this to be a viable year-round solution.

no, bike lanes are dangerous and counter progressive for cities

I would prefer to see bike routes separate from the main roads, but understand this is difficult

Improving public transit is higher priority, no everyone would or can bike due to travel distance or health issues

Yes but mixed use instead of concrete barriers so emergency vehicles can get in those lanes when needed

Only if they're gonna actually expand the road and not just take away a lane of traffic. Or make their own routes entirely seperate from traffic

Yes, but they should not take up road space just yet in large, busy cities like Toronto, rather they should add new spaces for bike lanes in those cities.

I like the idea but this should only be done when there is extra money in the budget for expansion of lanes or if new roads are being developed as this is a large sometimes traffic jam inducing expansion. Bike sharing programs are a good idea though.

With the amount of brutal winter that Canada has, I would leave this up to the individual city to deal with this. Calgary has a ton of bike lanes and only a minority amount of people use them because the city has too much sprawl and you basically need a vehicle.

Yes, but the government should take more care in taking measures to ensure bikes don't interfere with traffic.

Bike Lanes are extremely important. You can't have a bike on a sidewalk, for hurting a pedestrian. A bike on a road is dangerous because of the drivers in cars. I think we need to start thinking outside the box. Bike chain programs while the idea is amazing, people mistreat the bikes and the scooters.

Yes but privatize bike sharing services, and there should be more reform to include cyclists in traffic laws

Yes, but only if the city has space to expand. So far, it only seems to be contributing to traffic congestion. Also, in many areas of Canada, riding a bike is only feasible for about 7 months of the year, ultimately leaving the bike lanes empty the majority of the time, which seems like a waste.

No, this ought to fall on municipally run programming.

No. There is no bicycle monitoring system so therefore there are no regulations, which creates a dangerous experience with no rules of road bicycle rider violations.

Yes, but the bike lanes should be on less travelled streets where practical, this would have a secondary effect of keeping cars off of smaller residential streets.

Promote - yes. But do it where it makes sense rather than just for the sake of it. The most asinine construction of a bike lane was 10th Ave in Vancouver, hindering access to the VGH ER and The Blusson Spine Centre (to name a few). Last I checked people needing the ER or those with spinal injuries weren’t cycling to those facilities.

How do you think cities can balance the needs of both cyclists and drivers on busy streets?

Would you be more likely to bike if there were a bike-sharing program near you? Why or why not?

How do you feel about sharing the road with both cyclists and cars? What challenges does that present?

Do you believe dedicating more street space for cyclists is fair to drivers?

In what ways could cycling impact the environment in your community?

What do you think is the biggest barrier to making cycling a more popular way to get around?

Do you think biking should be promoted as a green alternative to driving, or is it not practical for most people?

How would your daily routine change if your city had more bike lanes?

What is more important to you: reducing traffic and emissions or keeping road space for cars? Why?
