Said by someone who's not familiar with auto-friendly bike-friendly Minneapolis.

I own a car.

But I know we can do better for bikes with a balance that increases number of total people using roads (whether car, bus, pedestrians, bikes). Occasionally, it means a quiet bike lane for several years until properly connected & starred out (as in the Minneapolis example). Unfortunately, GTHA is the mastery of the half-hearted bike lane, decreasing number of cars without enough of a corresponding increase in bikes (and pedestrians, as bike lanes often sometimes, albiet not always, enhance accompanying sidewalk infrastructure). Fortunately, more bicyclists are using Cannon this year than last, though it's still too quiet. Do you travel a lot to other cities too, by the way, and enjoy them both with a car, AND without a car, too? I'm not a "remove-the-cars" dreamer (though I appreciate what some cities have done; even if not realistically applicable to Hamilton), but I think I understand cycling infrastructure progress better than you do.
