Main streets + taking the lane is the recipe. Or sorta "secondary roads" that are well travelled but typically have lower traffic speeds (eg. Harbord, in my case). On my way in I generally take College and ride well out into the curb 'car lane' (since the bike lane is totally useless right now). Harbord I straddle the divider between the two lanes or the bike-lane divider.
My question: how does the city manage to RE-plow streets with like 0.5cm of new snow, but apparently can't plow the bike lanes?
