Pace on Earth

Bicycle Race

I missed this when it came out in the press but I noticed a paint crew lining York St. with strange lines I hadn't seen since my days in Vic. Yep, Fredericton is finally moving from talking about sustainable transportation to doing something about sustainable transportation. The time for lip-service is over.

Looking closely at the plans for bike routes/lanes in the city, it appears that they are just taking baby steps at this point but even that is to applauded. They are working alternative methods of transport into the development plan and hopefully these initiative continue.

I haven't had a bike for years but the fact that they have also made city buses bike friendly means that I could hop on the bus in front of my place and get a lift up the hill and then cruise down a bike lane to get home. It might be the right time to invest, nevermind the price of gas.

"Get on your bikes and ride"

Pace out.
