Not a moment too soon! Nice to know this type of infrastructure is going in as was hinted at in Cyclometer back in November. I will post more and hopefully better photos soon. Check them out. Really nice looking work. This is how you use them.

A big group of cyclists attended the memorial today. We rode to the intersection, laid flowers, and had a minute of silence in the person's honour. A personal thank you to all who rode with us today, those who rode with us in spirit, and ARC for organizing the memorial.
We need safe passage on Toronto roads now.

York Blvd., Hamilton
On the Sunday of the Victoria Day long weekend, after doing some camping and hiking at Bronte Creek Provincial Park, Jen and I rode to Hamilton to visit family. Riding to Hamilton is actually a relatively frequent trip for us, and for the majority of the ride it's really fun and scenic.
On Sunday I noticed this sign for the first time, while riding eastbound on York Blvd. into downtown Hamilton. I had to stop and turn around to take a picture because it cracked me up.
Seriously...what does this sign really mean? Are we expected to stop sharing the road after this point? Is it OK for a motorist to just run right over a cyclist anywhere beyond this sign? Should we have pulled over and walked our bikes along the sidewalk the rest of the way?
It reminds me of the signs I see around Toronto: "Community Safety Zone....Ends!"
Anyway, besides this little chuckle, we actually had a nice time riding around Hamilton. Sometime soon, I will post another article and photos of a new bike lane that was installed on a more westerly portion of York Blvd. in Hamilton.
