[lbo-talk] dust off that old bike, Woj

[Marvin Gandall]

Not too sound too much like the local tourist bureau,  but the National
Capital Region (Ottawa - Gatineau) has a great cycling infrastructure -
nearly 200 km of paved bikepaths alone along the Rideau Canal and along both
sides of the Ottawa River up into the Gatineau hills. It boasts it has the
highest number of cycle commuters of any North American city, but I don't
see how the population size can support that claim, though you do see lots
of people on the paths and streets every day outside the winter months. On
the other hand, I'm replying to someone writing from Holland who's not
likely to be very impressed!
