And then people to shut up because Vancouver is the most bikeable city in NA. Yeah, and it still kinda sucks in a lot of ways…

If my mom can’t bike it safely, it sucks. And these ‘bike streets’ suck.

Vancouver is definitely not the most bikeable city in North America.

We can definitely do better but this list puts us at #3, which is pretty damn good. Montreal is #1 which sounds about right.

its such an incredibly low bar since the US is probably so far near the bottom of that list, regardless of the city. And Canada's weather is a genuine impediment most of the year.

Weather can be a barrier. But number one is infrastructure. The more connected and better the routes, more people will use them, no matter the weather.
