Great group ride to tour all the amazing cycling infrastructure that's been added by City of Kitchener

All the delegates had fun riding Neuron Canada E-Bikes. Handled the biggest hill in DTK no problem.

Some great cycling thoughts at #OBS2024 “power of the pedal”; and “cycling is fun for free”

Women are roughly twice as likely to ride along a major roadway if there is a cycle track according to a city-wide poll conducted by City of Toronto.
Session on equity and accessibility from David Simor of TCAT at #obs2024 .

#OBS2024 today - Region of Waterloo’s Kornel Musci on Transportation Planning. Past plans call for reducing auto mode share through transit, walking & cycling but results have been more tinkering. What is needed is paradigm shifts = Backcasting. Set policy & design for it.

Share the Road and City of Waterloo host #OBS2024 exited to see full room!

Waterloo is proud to be the first mid-sized city in Ontario recognized as a Gold Bicycle Friendly Community by Share the Road Congratulations 👏
