    Bike lanes, yes, but this past weekend I saw the aftermath of a cyclist hit on a highway. There have to be long distance routes for folks that want to commute, to train. It has to be separated from cars and safe.

      cyclist hit on a highway

      Like a full-on, “no cyclists allowed” highway? 401? 404? etc.? (EDIT: just seeing that this is for Vancouver… the highways I listed are near Toronto).

      There are plenty of alternatives to those highways (which are illegal to cycle on), but I agree that there needs to be way more infrastructure for long distance, municipality to municipality cycling.

        There are stretches of Highway 1 in North Van that allows cyclists. Personally I wouldn’t, but it’s not illegal

        Not Vancouver or Toronto. I’ve never seen anything against bicycling on that stretch and, to the contrary, see a few hardcore road folks most times I use it.
