There's got to be a way to write-off part of that ... somehow, some way.

Lowest price of diesel in Toronto: 92.9 cents per litre
Cost to fill up: $112.53
Laughing at the ****** driving it: priceless.
That's right, I'm trying REALLY hard not to get any work done today.

Manitoba is another story. Take the same highway, put loose dirt to your right, and allow yourself 3 inches from the painted line to ride. Oh, don't forget the constant pot hole right down the line, as if the paint had destroyed the pavement. Beautiful.

I was looking into doing a cycling trip from Vancouver->Whistler so I tried to find info on the "Sea to Sky Highway".. they've been doing improvements for the last little while in preparation for the Olympics. On their FAQ, I found the following info:
6. Will I be able to cycle on the Sea-to-Sky Highway? What about cycling during construction?
When complete, improved cycling access along the corridor will be provided by 1.5 metre shoulders protected by shoulder rumble strips through those sections of the corridor where improvements are being carried out.

I don't think saying "well no bike lanes, we need to do major construction to build new bike roads" is logical, but whatever. But saying that 70+% of people with Aids are gay or drug users is just wrong (I hope!!)
The big issues is that we don't have enough cyclists on the road. Bike safety increases with the number of cyclists. Bike lanes encourage cyclists to ride on the appropriate side of the road and help driver safety by making it easier to judge passing distances. We just don't have enough cyclists in the lanes to prevent them from being used as parking or alternate driving routes.
As an aside, MEC has rain gear on sale (check they're site). I'm also debating a new pair of shoes, Dominators or Genius'. Apart from the weight, is there that much difference for stiffness. I do some long distance stuff, but mtb shoes seem more practical in general.
