You cyclist types might be interested in giving your feedback to The CIty of Vicotria in their Bicycle Master Plan. If you have been like me and have been forced off the road by buses trying to get to their bus stops 3 seconds earlier. Then reporting to the police with photos and being told that they get complaints by cyclist all the time, and the roads need to change to be safer for cyclist, this is a forum that might make for change in you want to give some input!
Note the deadline to register is FRIDAY!
The City of Victoria is holding workshops in May to get input for the Bicycle Master Plan. We would like to invite you and your members to participate and hope that you can share this information widely. Please see the details below and in the attached file.

Re: Want to make the roads safer for cyclist in Victoria?
Thanks Paula. Terra and I are registered for Wednesday @ Da Vinci Centre. I would like to know what the city's 'Bicycle Master Plan' is. If we learn anything noteworthy we will note it here on this thread.
