'As the mother of the two happy-looking boys in some of the pictures (ages 12 and 8), I want to say that It was one of the safest bike riding moments they have had.

Not a moment too soon! Nice to know this type of infrastructure is going in as was hinted at in Cyclometer back in November. I will post more and hopefully better photos soon. Check them out. Really nice looking work. This is how you use them.

A big group of cyclists attended the memorial today. We rode to the intersection, laid flowers, and had a minute of silence in the person's honour. A personal thank you to all who rode with us today, those who rode with us in spirit, and ARC for organizing the memorial.

The Toronto Star is reporting that a cyclist was hit by a car and severely injured near Lake Shore and Parliament this morning.

The impact of the collision sent the man flying into the windshield of the car, which was cracked but did not shatter.

The man was taken to St. Michael's Hospital with serious head injuries, but he is expected to live, according to police.
