HRM bike infrastructure

Hey Gang, more bike commute than mtb related, although biking to the trailheads can be sweet. Mods feel free to remove if inappropes…

if anyone has an enlightened take on the matter, please share. My info on this is likely superficial with biased news reports.
As someone who gets around by car, foot and bike, my simple take on things is that bike commuting in the HRM has gotten a lot better over the past decade, but still has a looong way to go. Car traffic is shitty, and will only get worse-not surprising given the population increases. However, catering to automobiles at the expense of bike traffic will likely only serve to increase cars on the road-not ease congestion.
regardless of your views, if you’re in HRM you should email your councillor and the mayor prior to the vote on Tuesday.
