How the city of lights became the city of bikes
Bike lanes equals “bikelash” in parts of Canada. Why? And what is Paris doing right? We travel the path to the heart of the debate about making cities more bicycle friendly, finding out what difference they make to cutting emissions. Then we’ll hear about one Calgary man’s cycling adventure in Paris (croissants by the Seine anyone?) and what he learned about the city’s campaign to build better routes for bikes. We’ll also head to a neighborhood meet-up where one enthusiast is trying to teach the youngest to safely ride on Vancouver city streets in hopes of building a stronger cycling culture and community.
