Fanstastic detailed answer. Thanks.

I see'd a guy riding the wrong way on the west sidewalk. Is that what you meant?
Freedom of contract. We sell them guns that kill them; they sell us drugs that kill us.
The West sidewalk will undergo the same process from Aug 2014 - Mar 2015. The open side is 2-way (and both had been so for a while). I understand that after the renos are complete, they will each be 1-way only (?).

Is this the official plan Duncan? Would be a good idea I think, but I can understand some people not being in favor of it

It says:
"Bicycles travel in same direction as vehicles in the adjacent roadway."
Scooter on Iron Workers' sidewalk, heading north on Saturday morning.
Does this happen a lot?

Gas or electric? Been buzzed a couple of times by 'electric bikes' coming across the Lion's Gate and on the causeway. They really don't leave much room when they rip by at 60kph.

Looked like a regular gas scooter to me (not an e-bike).

I've been plastered to the railings of the IWMB a couple of times getting past an old guy on a massive pedal/electric moped about the size of a Vespa.
Those things scare the bejeebus outta me sometimes. They need a fake noise maker in them. If I had one, I would want it to sound like this
hasn't happened to me often duncan , but i let those guys pass when it is safe and convenient for me
I have run up to scooters on the Lion's Gate a few times. There was an overweight fellow that rode a yellow one that I saw several times. He'd bottom out the suspension on the bumps on the bridge and on the ramp coming off. I passed him though on the up, but he could do a decent enough clip going down that I was content to follow him and watch the thing wallow. I was generally on my road bike though which is way faster than a mountain bike.
Debate? Bikes are made for riding not pushing.
