Since 2010, Ontario has added 112 kilometres of paved shoulders along
provincial highways.
Ontario has introduced legislation to improve cycling safety. If
passed, it would require motorists to maintain a distance of at least one
metre while passing cyclists and introduce harsher penalties for dooring.
In 2010, two million Canadian visitors spent $391 million while
cycling in Ontario — an 18 per cent increase over the previous year.
According to the Canadian Medical Association, a 10 per cent
increase in physical activity could reduce direct health care
expenditures by $150 million a year.
Ontario has the second-lowest cycling injury rate of all Canadian
provinces.”
