Got to be a good thing if it encourages you to ride faster

I guess that is provincial not the feds?
Can they do what they want or are there certain specified restrictions?
How likely is this? (if this was the UK, I would not be getting too excited based on past history!)
There's nothing wrong with the Bears, personally I think we should arm them
They've thown a little bit of money at the Provinces and said " here, fix your own problems with the cyclists !!! "
Not much to tell yet, Canada, no, North America has a long way to go when it comes to cycling. Holland should be the showcase for the world !!!

There is a lot in the Netherlands that is not optimum although they are, of course, way ahead of most of the test of the civilised world.
We should be inspired by them, but we should also learn from their mistakes rather than slavishly copy that which they do. What works in another country rarely transplants successfully to the UK without consideration and suitable adaption.

Cyclists in Bampf and Jasper are considered fast food, the heavier people are hibernation snacksGot to be a good thing if it encourages you to ride faster
Here in Canada, Alberta specificly, most are fair weather cyclists, we don't like the winter, I don't mind it, just pedal harder,you'll stay warmer

The only bear I have seen in the wild was in Alberta. True story.
I did also do a bit of MTB whilst there but not at the same time as seeing the bear.

We actually had one eat our sandwiches off our outside table at a lodge just outside Jasper. A lady came running up the road shouting "bear bear"
We took her into the lodge but didn't have time to move our food. The bear tucked in to our sarnies just outside the window!
Luckily the bear must have been full after the sandwiches so walked off leaving us relieved!
