  From “biking infrastructure” to “bike sharing system”…aka “Bixi”

  Goalpost shifting, par excellence.

  the number of bicyclists drops to what, 1/4? 1/10? in the winter. So that lane should sit pretty much empty 6 months of the year

  There are numbers available to you. You could put forth actual numbers, for a change. Empty 6 months of the year? Utterly and demonstrably false.

  Stop making things up.

  @ Jason. I’m sure others will comment on this too, but I have to point out that Montreal bike lanes don’t get removed. We have two kids in university there and are familiar with the city. The biggest lane, which crosses the city on De Maisonneuve, is concrete-barrier protected, as is the one on Rachel, another large east-west connector.

  Types of bike lanes in Montreal:

  Note, on “Bike Lanes”: The cycle lanes are open year round and are ploughed in winter at the same time as the rest of the street.
