In many European countries, there are well-developed systems of bicycle routes that are almost unimaginable to travellers from North America. When I returned to Toronto after last summer’s European expedition, I was angry. How is it possible that a small country like Switzerland has made space for multiple and redundant bicycle routes, while the bicycling infrastructure in my huge yet sparsely populated country is pathetic. Also, why is it that I confidently share narrow roads with motorists in Europe, while at home, many motorists have no clue about how to share wide highways with cyclists?
