Region lives up to claim as cycling capital of Canada Daniel Palmer News staff
A
s the annual Bike to Work Week wound down in Greater Victoria, organizers were encouraged by early reports suggesting this
year’s participant numbers will surpass 2012. More than 600 teams and 7,000 people participated in the event this year, adding fuel to the City of Victoria’s “cycling capital of Canada” label on its website. But is Victoria really the
cycling city it so willingly purports itself to be? The title is largely attributable to 2006 Statistics Canada numbers that show about 9,000 people – roughly five per cent of daily commuters in the Capital Region – reported biking to work.
Only 1.6 per cent of Vancouverites reported cycling to work. Mild climate, relatively flat topography and a compact urban area account for higher cycling in the region, but Victoria’s 25 kilometres of painted bike lanes continue to keep more cautious
commuters from taking the leap to bicycle, said Ray Straatsma, Greater Victoria Cycling Coalition board member. Please see: Numbers don’t tell the whole story, Page A6
