As we see the City spending ever more money on roads (Earl Grey underpass, Palladium Drive, you name it), one has to wonder what it’ll take for Ottawa to become a true cycling city. Do we wait for infrastructure to be build to see more people on bikes? Or do we ride in greater numbers to normalize cycling and show a demand for safe cycling infrastructure?
As new bike infrastructure trickles in at 🐌 pace, people are taking matters into their own hands and organizing rides. There’s safety in numbers, and it’s a great way to meet new people and talk about making Ottawa a better, more liveable city.
Be sure not to miss group rides by checking our calendar. If we’re missing some, let us know.
This week, come out to #ottbikesocial on Thursday (starting point in New Edinburgh) and to a critical mass ride on Saturday (Museum of war). And check back for more.
