Wow...great turnout. Let's hope this is an indicator of growing number of cyclists in Hamilton. Last night I went for a ride from my place down Valley Inn up the cemetery and back, down the stairs to the waterfront trail, up Longwood to Paradise and King St back east to Breadalbane, then north to Florence and back home.

I was thoroughly impressed by the off-road trails and well-marked on-road bike lanes on this entire route. The only spots I was riding on a street with no bike lane were Longwood/Paradise and Breadalbane/Florence. All 4 are extremely safe and quiet side streets.

I realized that even though we are moving at a snails pace in this city with transportation options other than cars, we are making progress. It was an enjoyable, safe route and all within the confines of my downtown neighbourhood and Westdale. Oh, and I saw plenty of interesting birds, a beaver, rabbit and deer on the trek.

For one ride anyhow, it felt downright enjoyable and safe to cycle in Hamilton.
