Calgary Tour De Nuit Society: Cyclists

Bike Lanes Dept: The Calgary Tour De Nuit Society says the proposed bike lanes will be too close to parked cars, which will increase the chance that cyclists may crash into opening doors, according to CBC. "Our primary concerns would be with the width of the lane and being so close to the cars and the door zone, Mitchell said. That's a real danger for cyclists." A Calgary cycling group says it has concerns about the proposed downtown bike lanes on Sixth and Seventh streets. Society member Jessica Mitchell said cyclists are considering everything from a petition to even a boycott of the upcoming bike lanes. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
