Wie in vielen Städten "muss nun was gehen" zugunsten einer sofortigen Verbesserung des Radverkehrs. Doch Farbe sei ja keine Infrastruktur, heisst es mitunter. Es stellt sich die Frage, ob bei einer allfälligen definitiven Einführung der hier korrigierten Verkehrsführung dann die markanten Schilder aus der Zeit der grosszügig dimensionierten City-Querungen auch abgebaut werden?
Obwohl das Verkehrsaufkommen mässig war, konnte der gezeigte Strassenbahnzug nicht ohne Störhalt die Querung passieren. Etwas, das man schon lange realisieren könnte vielerorts - aber die Radlobby scheint etwas besser zu machen. Oder liegt es doch daran, dass man "Digitalisierung" nicht ganz versteht?
This beautiful, historic banner was on display at "Bike City," an exhibit we saw with a friend at the Market Gallery in Toronto this week. It explored the impact and history of Toronto's cycling community. This image is significant in that cycling was not seen as proper or modest for women in the early days, but as time went by and appropriate clothing was designed for women cyclists, cycling became a very popular activity and mode of transportation for men and women alike.

The Industrial Exhibition, founded in 1879, became a Canadian tradition. It continues to this day under the name Canadian National Exhibition.

My wife and I and our cycling friend Heather visited an excellent exhibit at Toronto's Market Gallery. It was titled "Bike City" and the historic bicycles on display and the storyboards telling the history of cycling in Toronto were very well done.

"Featuring CCM's only patented frame design, the Flyte is that company's most historically important bicycle. The chrome-plated curved fork and seat-stays deliver Art Deco appeal while absorbing shock. The extra-long rear fender and Troxel tool box saddle complete the streamlined design yet the Flyte was produced only from 1936-1940.
