Re: New Red Deer bike lanes
Hark, what company on yonder lane breaks, be it the case of: “if you build it they will ride?” So it seems. So it seems.
Well congratulations Red Deer city council, as I am bound to report, that your foresight has hit pay dirt or pay rubber, as at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 15, I was somewhat astonished to witness, over a 15-minute period, an assorted lot of about 250 or so cyclists playfully, though obediently, heading due west on 55th Street and 46th Avenue.
The sight was strange but uplifting somehow, as it silently heralded a rebirth or renaissance of sorts to a better, though bygone day. So kudos to you, good sirs and ladies. Me thinks these young and old riders, who looked to have the moxie and resolve to do battle/cycle with status carbon and or-an Alberta winter or two, but we will see what brave hopes and green shoots the morrow doth bring.
