Not only is this safer I also see more people cycling now that this has been upgraded. Too bad the bike camp wasn't there at the ceremonies. Great to have this luxury and I do applaud the efforts with this project. I cycle to work pretty much everyday and what an improvement!!!

I'm assuming that the previous route was taken down because most of it was outside of Mississauga. This one is entirely in Mississauga. http://schwyz.no-ip.org/osm/tour-suggestion.html Here’s a suggestion for the 100 km route.

I no longer ride the road through that stretch since the pathway is that much nicer. Agreed that they MUST get ride of those evil 'cyclists dismount' signs. Horrible, unnecessary things.

We are open to getting a new design if there is enough demand for new ones. Now that the Tour de Mississauga is becoming a flagship event, I could see MCAC looking into creating a jersey that showcases the event. Another option would be a good quality "technical tee" which is a general athletic t-shirt made with 'wicking' fabric, yet less expensive.

]]> Comment on Youngsters on Sidewalks – Beware the Driveways by Stefan P http://www.mississaugacycling.ca/youngsters-on-sidewalks-beware-the-driveways-1336.htm/comment-page-1#comment-4632 Stefan P Wed, 30 Jun 2010 17:25:46 +0000 http://www.mississaugacycling.ca/?p=1336#comment-4632 Great comments... good advices... I am driving my bycicle to work every day (60km a day) and had seen many careless drivers almost every day. Rushing from one place to another I think is the worst behaviour when driving. I can say though it is not only the car drivers but also the byciclists that should follow the rules of the road and not rush. I have seen many byciclists going through red lights, squeezing through the cars, crossing across everywhere possible and speeding unnecessarily assuming that everybody else must take care of them but themselves... I think though if everybody would use a bike on the road first before driving a car then for sure the car drivers would pay a lot more attention to the cyclists.
