This is kind of interesting. Not sure if it would work in Winnipeg, but.. "Germany is building the world’s biggest ‘bicycle autobahn’ to connect 10 cities and remove 50,000 cars from the road every day. With the popularity of e-bikes growing too, is Europe about to see a new era of long-distance cycle commuting?" https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2016/jun/30/intercity-cycle-highways-rev… Ian

Metro News: BRT at the cost of AT? Bike Winnipeg concerned about crossing plan changes (Jun29'16)
by Beth McKechnie 29 Jun '16

29 Jun '16

BRT at the cost of AT? Bike Winnipeg concerned about crossing plan changesThe city's contractor for phase two of the Southwest Rapid Transitway found millions in savings, but cut out two bike and pedestrian crossings in the process. http://www.metronews.ca/news/winnipeg/2016/06/28/bike-winnipeg-worried-acti… The city says they've found ways to save $120 million for the next phase of rapid transit, but it comes at the cost of active transportation plans for the design. Winnipeg Transit director Dave Wardrop told council at a special meeting Tuesday that two tunnels for walkers and cyclists have been eliminated from the city’s plans to help reduce costs. Bike Winnipeg’s executive director Mark Cohoe said he has “big concerns” with what losing those below-grade crossings means for the city’s fledgling cycle corridor. “We’ll be watching to see how connectivity is impacted,” Cohoe said. “Without looking at the actual plans (expected in July) it’s hard to say if it’s at the cost of active transportation.” The two crossings affected are at Jubilee Avenue and Plaza Drive at the Pembina Highway. Cohoe said the Plaza Drive rail crossing being at-grade isn’t a big issue, but the Jubilee crossing is especially important to ensure safe passage into surrounding neighbourhoods. He said the approved path alignment provides access to Beaumont, Daniel, Rockman and Panet neighbourhoods, as well as future developments. “Those are important connections we want to see maintained,” Cohoe said. The tunnel beneath the Jubilee off-ramp would have connected the path network to both sides of Pembina Highway while avoiding a potentially dangerous, high-speed lane of vehicle traffic which Cohoe “would hope does not now have to be crossed.” “We want to make sure we’re not losing connections through the Pembina underpass for that North-South connectivity,” he said. Coun. Janice Lukes, a long-time active-transportation advocate, said she’s confident the replacement crossings will be “suitable,” and that any paths crossing the transitway will be separated and protected. “And the project itself is 30 to 40 per cent designed, so that means there’s still room for improvements and tweaks, right?” Lukes said. Cohoe also finds it “a bit frustrating being out of the loop,” and how—despite attending an active-transportation stakeholder meeting with city officials Monday night—he’s learning about active-transportation changes during transit discussions in City Hall. “It would have been more appropriate to meet and discuss what has been changed,” Cohoe said. “I’m not thrilled with how it’s come out.” Moving forward, he said he’d like to see a way for the savings identified in the BRT project to be put towards active-transportation paths between the Oak Grove station and Grant Park Pavilion developments, to benefit users of multiple transportation modes and city development overall. “The transitway would undoubtedly gain ridership and value from such a connection, as would retailers on the north side of the tracks,” he said.

bike helmet newsletter
by Cynthia Otfinowski 29 Jun '16

29 Jun '16

Hello, I am not sending this to take a side, but as a physiotherapist, I encourage people to wear a bike helmet. I found an article in a newsletter written by Physiotherapy Works. I am not promoting their business but I thought the information was helpful. If interested follow this link for photo, video and article. http://www.bmetrack.com/c/v?e=31CDEF&c=2F8D&t=1&l=E120A1F&email=MbDOnDULivW… Otherwise, I have copied the essential elements that I thought were extremely helpful. Sincerely, Cyndi Otfinowski Newsletter Disclaimer by Physiotherapy Works! The information found within this newsletter is for general information only and should not be treated as a substitute for medical advice from your own Doctor or any other health professional. Physiotherapy Works is not responsible or liable for any injuries that occur by performing any of the exercises given or diagnosis made by a user based on the information shown within our website or newsletter. Always consult your Medical Doctor, physiotherapist or other health professional if you are in any way concerned with your health and wellness. <>More Helmets, Fewer Injuries No matter what your age or level of experience, whenever you ride a bike, in-line skate, ski, or engage in other activities during which your head is vulnerable to injury, a helmet should be worn. Wearing a bike helmet reduces the risk of serious head and brain injury by 85%. Helmets should be worn during every ride, no matter how short. Many accidents happen near home. There are two basic types of helmets: single-impact and multiple-impact. It’s important to select a helmet that fits you properly and that is appropriate to the activity you’re doing. Single Impact (example: bicycle helmets) – designed to protect against ONE impact; Must be replaced after a crash or hard hit, even if it does not appear to have any damage Multi Impact (example: hockey helmets) – designed to protect against more than one impact. Multi Sport – does not mean multi impact but that the helmet is approved for more than one activity. Check the manufacturer’s label for the list of activities for which the helmet can be worn safely Note: Always check the manufacturer’s label for an expiration date and replace as required. Hockey helmets expire 5 years from the date of manufacture. During a fall or crash, a helmet absorbs much of the force of impact that would otherwise be directed to the head. Thick plastic foam (firm polystyrene) inside the hard outer shell of a helmet provides protection that cushions the blow. A new helmet should be purchased after a crash. Even if the helmet appears fine, the interior may be damaged. Children 5 to 14 years of age have the highest injury rate of all bicycle riders, and bike accidents are a leading cause of death for children. Tips to help children understand the importance of wearing helmets: Teach by example. Adults should always wear helmets when doing activities that have potential for collision. Be aware that your child is more likely to wear a helmet if he or she likes the way it looks. Bike helmets save lives and prevent injuries, but in a few instances they are not appropriate: Children should not wear helmets when they climb trees or play on playground equipment. A helmet may get stuck on a tree or piece of equipment and strangle a child. Because a baby's neck muscles may not be strong enough to support a helmet, do not ride a bike at all with a child under the age of 1 year. 7 Tips to help you choose: 1. Make sure there is a safety sticker inside (look for CSA, ASTM, CPSC or SNELL). 2. There should not be any decorations, paint or stickers on the helmet. 3. There should not be any cracks, dents or other damage. 4. Pads should touch the head at the front, sides, back and top. 5. No more than two fingers should fit between the wearer’s eyebrows and the helmet. 6. The V-strap must fit tightly under each earlobe. 7. Only one finger should fit under the chin strap. The Right Fit is Crucial Proper fit is just as important as choosing the right helmet. It should comfortably touch your head all the way around, and be snug enough to stay firmly in place. Your helmet should sit level on your head and ride as low as possible to protect the sides of your head. Never wear a high ponytail with a helmet. And Never wear a hat under a helmet. Remember, head injuries can cause long-term disabilities and impairments. Wearing a helmet is an easy way to help prevent head injuries. Have a safe and enjoyable summer.

Small businesses benefiting from downtown bike lanes
by Charles Feaver 27 Jun '16

27 Jun '16

Good article about small businesses in Calgary and Vancouver learning to profit from downtown bike lanes in the Globe's Report on Business: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/small-business/sb-managing /small-businesses-are-changing-their-tune-on-bike-lanes/article30365164/ Here's a snippet: .. small businesses in cities across Canada are increasingly catering to cyclists. Yes, businesses publicly denouncing bike lanes are still common, but shops, bars and restaurants are starting to back bike infrastructure and reach out to a new and growing customer base. "There's been a sea change in the attitude about cyclists and frankly the value that the cycling community and the cycling consumer is bringing to the marketplace," says Charles Gauthier, president and chief executive officer of the Downtown Vancouver Business Improvement Association. "Businesses are responding by making it clear they're catering to them." .

Cyclist safety in numbers, not helmets
by Charles Feaver 27 Jun '16

27 Jun '16

Excellent article in the Free Press by Brent Bellamy with the broader perspective of how helmet legislation affects cyclist safety for urban commuters and public health. http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/business/cyclist-safety-in-numbers-not-helm ets-384483011.html Some quotes: Wearing a helmet when you ride a bike will reduce your risk of injury in an accident. The mandatory helmet law currently proposed by Winnipeg city council likely will not. This seems like a contradictory statement, but unlike motorcycle-helmet and automobile-seatbelt laws, bike safety relies on a set of unique variables that require a more complex response than simply forcing everyone to wear a helmet. A 2015 study by the University of British Columbia is the most comprehensive resource for this assertion. It looked at 11 cities in Canada over a five-year period, comparing hospitalization rates between jurisdictions with and without helmet laws. The study was one of the first to pro-rate injuries with the number of bike trips taken. Its conclusions could not find a definitive correlation between helmet legislation and hospitalization rates. . The effects on participation rates may be the most important factor when considering the effectiveness of legislation and is the reason many cycling advocates oppose mandatory helmet laws. Although results are inconsistent, many jurisdictions find mandatory helmet use has a negative impact on the number of cyclists on the road. After implementing helmet laws, several Australian cities reported a drop in cycling rates of between 20 per cent and 40 per cent. Vancouver saw a 30 per cent reduction in adult cyclists, Halifax dropped by 50 per cent and child helmet laws in Alberta resulted in a decrease in adolescent participation by 27 per cent, while adult cycling, which was exempt from the law, grew by 21 per cent. Almost all research, including the UBC study, concludes one of the most important factors in bike safety is high levels of participation. It has been consistently proven the number of riders has a far greater impact on bike-injury statistics than wearing a helmet. This strength-in-numbers concept simply means motorists are less likely to hit cyclists when there are more of them around, indicating doing anything to discourage participation is counterproductive to achieving safety goals. With greater bike presence, drivers become more aware of the complexity of road movements, adjusting behaviour by slowing down, passing cautiously and shoulder-checking. It has been found when bike use doubles in a city the risk of a motorist hitting a cyclist typically goes down by about one-third. Another significant factor reducing participation rates has been the obsessive public focus on helmet use. The stigma against not wearing one has become wildly disproportionate to the actual risk, creating the common perception cycling in cities such as Winnipeg is inherently unsafe. .

WFP: Winnipeggers get a peek at downtown cycling route plans (Jun23'16)
by Beth McKechnie 25 Jun '16

25 Jun '16

Garry Street makeover has something for everyone http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/local/winnipeggers-get-a-peek-at-downtown-… Downtown Winnipeg is about to become a lot more friendly for cyclists, pedestrians, motorists, transit users and patio enthusiasts. If that sounds like a lot of people to keep happy, welcome to Scott Suderman's world. Suderman, the city’s transportation facilities planning engineer, was among several city officials meeting and talking with members of the public at a two-hour "pop-up engagement event" at The Forks Thursday to introduce a makeover to Garry Street that aims to have something for everyone. "This project is really about balancing all the users' needs," Suderman said. "It's important for the city to see everyone's perspective and balance the needs for everyone walking, cycling, driving, taking the bus, the businesses downtown, visitors, the people living there." The Garry Street makeover is a significant project that includes a three-metre cycling lane, two southbound lanes, a parking lane, a metre-wide curb separating cyclists from traffic, wider sidewalks, street paving, new traffic signals, new underground water mains and more. "The bicycle lanes will have a raised concrete barrier. It will be about a metre wide and about six inches (15 cm) tall. This option creates the widest physical separation (from traffic) and we heard from the public that was an important consideration," said Suderman. "There will be two travel lanes available full-time for motorists and for emergency vehicle mobility and access. There's also going to be a full-time parking, loading, transit lane and even for seasonal patio opportunities." The Garry Street design is the result of year-long consultations that started with several options and was chosen because it was deemed the safest for cyclists and it will allow bike travel in both directions. For vehicle traffic, Garry Street is already a one-way street. The space for the two-way bike lane would be created by removing about 16 per cent of street parking for vehicles on the east side of Garry Street. The new design, called the Downtown Bike Lane System, will include a separate cycling lane that will be a 1.5-kilometre route that will run from Assiniboine Avenue to Ellice Avenue/Notre Dame Avenue, and then north into the Exchange District along Arthur Street to McDermot Avenue. Evan Proulx, 26, said cycling is his main mode of transportation and he has felt unsafe at times in downtown traffic so the Garry Street plan is "a good start." "I think I have just become accustomed to it because I have been cycling downtown so much but there are those times where I would like to be separated (from vehicle traffic) slightly," he said. "In Winnipeg, it's been haphazard to this point." Proulx said he has cycled in numerous cities in the U.S., such as Portland, Ore., which has a lot of infrastructure dedicated to cycling. "I'm not sure yet how this connects to other parts of the city, but downtown, this is a good start." Bruce Quesnel, who lives on Tache Avenue, said now that he is retired he frequently walks or cycles in the downtown area. He said it appears the Garry Street plan could help both pedestrians and cyclists. "It's good, mostly. It's good that there are separated paths (for cyclists and vehicles) and that's really important for us," said Quesnel, 69. "There's going to be concrete barriers, which will be very good, and this will separate it. It's very important. Right now, only some (cyclists) use the street and the rest use the sidewalk and you don't blame them. They're terrified." He said the dedicated bike path will encourage him to cycle more through downtown. The separated bike lane will be extended along Notre Dame Avenue to Adelaide Street. However, the existing bike lane on Fort Street will remain in place after the Garry Street project is completed, Suderman said. Bike Winnipeg executive director Mark Cohoe told the Free Press in an earlier story that his group would prefer single bike lanes on two one-way streets — one on Fort and one on Garry — and see single-lane vehicle traffic on both those streets. Cohoe said his group is concerned the lanes for cyclists aren't wide enough in the Garry Street plan. Also at Thursday's event at The Forks, proposed designs were introduced for the West Alexander Cycling Corridor projects, including a protected bike lane in the West Alexander neighbourhood along McDermot Avenue — deemed a natural extension of the Garry corridor – and an enhanced cycling crossing at Assiniboine Avenue at Main Street into The Forks. Suderman said construction on the upgrade to the signal light at Assiniboine Avenue and Main Street crossing has already begun and is expected to take only a few weeks to complete. The Garry Street project will begin construction in spring of 2017 but will go on hiatus during the 2017 Canada Summer Games, which are being hosted in Winnipeg from July 28 to Aug. 13, 2017. It is expected the Garry corridor will be completed near the end of the 2018 construction season. The spring of 2017 is also projected for the start of the West Alexander Cycling Corridor. ashley.prest(a)freepress.mb.ca
