Commuter Cycling's Overrated: Patton | THE BULLDOG

Commuter cycling is everything, it's my identity, it's what makes me better than you, sitting in rush hour smokin a fatty. Commuter cycling is transcendant, there's intense joy and fury in every commute, I reach heights from which I can look down on every other commuter, except maybe the electric skateboard commuters, they're pretty good.

Not sure what the objection to the park-and-cycle pilot is. It's basically zero cost, since they're using existing parking spaces, and might alleviate some of the parking congestion downtown (although I'm not sure how noticeable it will be, with only 10 spaces).

LOL at "dumping money" into cycling infrastructure. The City of Ottawa spends a few million a year on it at most, a tiny fraction of the overall transportation budget.

Anyway Ken Gray is well known to be anti-cyclist, so I'm not surprised. He seemingly has no interest in considering opposing viewpoints or having a genuine debate. All he does is reiterate the same three or four talking points (with no supporting evidence) on every single cycling post.
