And how does the city celebrate Bike Month/day? By dramatically increasing the fines for speeding on the paths:

An 800% increase seems a bit much…
Thanks Gyrospanner. I thought the city or CP would have gone in as they have in the past few years and cleared out the ice. As I only have a road bike with the slick tires, I guess I will just have to be patient.
Hey, has anyone ridden the south pathway between Edworthy and Crowchild Tr.? I was just wondering if the “mini glacier” has been cleared and what condition the pathway itself is in. That and the north side really need a good repaving.
Oh great – yet another detour to face in the spring! At least paving should not take several months like the drainage work (cross your fingers!)
Quick question about the re-opened path between 29th and Crowchild – did the city repave the entire path or just the few hundred metres west of Crowchild?
I haven’t tried the Crowchild underpass but I do agree about the new section in front of the old CBC. Always felt uncomfortable riding that narrow part. I miss the trees (provided a bit of a wind break) but do not miss the space they took up. I wonder if they will be putting up another fence along Memorial?
Thanks for the info about skateboarding, that is what I thought. So my glaring stare at them was justified 🙂
Quick question regarding usage of the downtown bike lanes.
Going home last night, I encountered a couple of skateboarders who were using both lanes of the 5th St. path. They were traveling in an erratic manner and one even fell as I was approaching because he was trying some stunts.
Does anyone know what the bylaws are concerning skateboarders in the bike lanes?
