Ottawa and Gatineau
• Starting in 2010, every Sunday morning from May 17 through to September 6, from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm
some of Ottawa’s most scenic roads are closed to cars as more than 50 km of roadways are taken over by
cyclists and in-line skaters.
Vancouver
• An impressive cycling route planning tool that provides users with many options: shortest distance, most
vegetated route, least traffic pollution, least elevation gain or most separation from vehicular traffic.
• A model for integrating bicycling with public transport.
• BC’s mandatory helmet law is preventing more wide-spread use of this urban transit option.
