Ottawa is an excellent example of urban design to be harmonious with cyclists, rollerbladers and walkers, they have bicycle lanes an many main routes and there is plenty of room for cars and bikes on the road, the have routes through parks so you have short cuts you can take and it have been very well design to the point where it actually increased the amount of bike traffic because it was such an efficient system. If anyone ever has a chance to visit take not and then talk them to your city council. I have always loved the area and the planning and parks they have.
