Ottawa has many great bike paths along the canal, the Ottawa River and the Rideau River. One of the more underrated bike paths in the city is the Experimental Farm Pathway. It isn’t just great for recreation; it connects important parts of our community by an active transportation route.
I took my bike to do four errands today. It took me 58 minutes by bike and it would have been 41 minutes by car. Why was the bike a better option?
So our kids and our parents can be safe. So we can have reliable transportation. So we can easily pick up a few groceries on the way home. So we can go to hockey practice (yes, even in winter).
You may recall that back in March 2022 a cyclist was killed at an intersection on North River Road. This summer, Bike Ottawa visited the site with the president of the Vanier Community Association to see what could be done to move promised changes forward.
