I went for a walk on the weekend with some visitors from Windsor and, as usually happens with visitors to Toronto, they remarked on the sheer amount of cyclists riding around the city. What also strikes visitors is the diversity of the riders in terms of age, gender and perceived social and economic class — in some cities, biking is still thought of as either a kids-thing or, as I wrote in Spacing’s car issue, something people do when their license is suspended for a DUI. Not so in Toronto. The Toronto Cyclists Union<\/a> is taking a survey of its members and Toronto cyclists in general to get a picture of biking conditions in the city — the more representative it is of all riders, the better the results:<\/p>\n

Participate in the bike union’s first ever online\u00a0survey of Toronto cyclists<\/a>. Spend 5 minutes to complete the survey and you will help the Toronto Cyclists Union improve conditions for cycling in Toronto.<\/em><\/p>\n

This survey will help us know more about your commute, understand your thoughts on how to make city streets safer and learn how to better serve you and other supporters. You will also have an opportunity to share any views you may have.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
