The City of Vancouver has pledged $25 million over 3 years for bike lane improvements, including the Hornby and Dunsmuir separated bike lanes. Here's a look at how that looks compared to other capital programs the CoV takes on every year.

And yes I have a business that does sand blasting , but I really want you to try sand blasting your own stuff and I dont mind if you go somewhere else , just try it!

I mean things like tools!! As a lot of you know I carry a fairly complete set of tools with me when i ride, but I'm a really firm believer that everyone should have at least enough with them to at least fix a flat. No publisher bhughes Tech 2010-08-28T00:26:58Z Weblog Entry http://vancruisers.ca/Members/bhughes/blog/let-them-eat-cake It seems to be a trend lately that Mayors and Council members from various cities around the world have taken to the streets and actually TRIED biking around the cities they are responsible for. Not surprisingly the results are almost always the same - it comes as a huge eye opener, prompting significant changes in policy and a sudden realization that they really haven't been serving their public as well as they could have been.

The goal is to increase cycling from the 3.7% share it currently has to 10% of all trips, a worthy goal which some say is a pipe dream. No publisher bhughes Advocacy 2010-05-29T18:46:01Z Weblog Entry http://vancruisers.ca/Members/bhughes/blog/vancouver-goes-bike-crazy I am absolutely in love with our current city council when it comes to bike-related infrastructure changes. This council has done more for cyclists in the past few years than has happened in probably the last 15 or so. And the hits just keep on coming!!
