I won't ride in the Cannon lanes and now generally,, with the exception of Lawrence Road, avoid routes with bike lanes.

I'll admit I'm a fairly aggressive rider (i.e. ride as fast as I can), but also practice 'heads up' riding and always try to be aware of potential upcoming hazards. In 7 years of riding in Hamilton, I've had 5 "close calls".

  • 1 in Stinson bike lane riding east with the direction of traffic
  • 1 in Hunter bike lane riding east counter to one-way traffic direction
  • 3 in Cannon bike lane riding east counter to one-way traffic direction

Also, I shiver at the thought of a broken clavicle requiring surgery is termed a "minor injury".
