Hamilton is laid out so well for cycling, but the speed/carelessness of drivers, especially on the one-way highways, ruins it for me.

I had enough close calls at 5 a.m. on Steeles Avenue in Toronto to know that I'm not going to attempt it with twice as many lanes of traffic going far faster the whole day along the main routes. Other streets can be great, like Hunter in the mornings to the GO. Perfect.

The coloured lane separation is a great idea. Bike lanes separated by barriers would be even better in my mind than coloured paving stones, though that's a great idea in itself. I gave my feedback to the Shifting Gears plan.. But from what I've seen in the in it, there wasn't much about Main/King (waiting for LRT plans before taking action, I suppose). Maybe if/when the Cannon/Wilson parts are done I'll be more inclined to bike on those.
