A thank you for protected bike lanes

Re: “Victorians not pulling their weight,” letter, Dec. 7. As I read the Times Colonist’s letters to the editor Thursday morning regarding shopping downtown Victoria minus your car, I silently applauded those protected cycling lanes.

Re: “Victorians not pulling their weight,” letter, Dec. 7.

As I read the Times Colonist’s letters to the editor Thursday morning regarding shopping downtown Victoria minus your car, I silently applauded those protected cycling lanes.

My husband and I spent a few weeks in October cycling in Europe, our favourite holiday. Once again we said to one another that protected cycling lanes are just taken for granted in the major cities all over central Europe. And drivers and cyclists figure it out.

Thank you for those safe bike lanes. I say that to myself every time I’m riding or driving in downtown Victoria.
