Nice ride in, cool (5C/41F), but wore shorts anyway. Lots of cyclists out this morning, and the bike rack where I lock up was almost completely full when I got there (last week it was almost empty).

Read an article in the local paper this morning, listing recommendations from some traffic planning consultant hired by the city. It was encouraging to see how much emphasis he put on installing separated, functional bike lanes. He quoted some stats that showed that up to an additional 60% of the population (above the <10% that currently ride) would ride bikes more often for transportation if there were separated, functional bike lanes available.

Anyway, it's a nice report, but implementing it will be another matter entirely!
