Special Constable ________, I Shake My Head at Your Ignorance

Chris

(Not All My Posts Will Be about the Police) This past Saturday I was involved in a charity ride called Ride for Refuge.  Ride for Refuge raises money for the displaced, vulnerable and exploited.  There were 864 people doing the ride in Waterloo. Catherine Fife was one of them.  Route distances varied from 10 km to 100 km.  There were a few different routes, so the riders were spread out over north Waterloo and Wilmot Township. I rode the 100 km route with 3 friends.

Kitchener Waterloo’s Byelection and Bicycling

Graham Roe

Ever since Dalton McGuinty called the September 6th By Election in Waterloo I’m eager to hear if bicycling will enter the conversation. Especially since a cyclist’s death in our riding was one of the catalysts of the recent coroner’s report on cycling deaths in Ontario. Based on your feedback here’s what I’m asking the  leading candidates: How often  do you ride your bicycle? If you do, why do you ride? What are the top improvements needed in this riding to make bicycling better? Which of the recommendations in the coroners report caught your attention and why? How will you advocate on behalf of this riding’s cyclists at Queen’s Park? … Continue reading Kitchener Waterloo’s Byelection and Bicycling
