VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - According to the city, the number of cyclists using the Hornby and Dunsmuir Street bike lanes is "pretty good," but there's still room for growth.

The city says an average of 600 cyclists per day used the lanes last month.

Councillor Geoff Meggs says he's happy with the numbers he's seeing. "Six hundred a day is pretty good in January, when the weather has generally been pretty poor and it's often dark at commuter times. I'm hoping and expecting those numbers to grow quite a bit as the weather improves."

The highest weekly average came in July, with over 12,000 trips.

According to the city, travel times in the morning for cars have remained the same, and increased by one minute in the afternoon since the lanes were installed.

Meggs says that is a good sign that the fears of congestion were exaggerated. He adds the city is also studying the business impacts of the lanes.

o係downtown 咁煩忙o既west georgia, west hastings 竟然整o左單車線,仲要整埋單車位...對於開車o既人真係好慘..d 單車成日閃o黎閃去,我每日行cambie 橋返工放工都好怕會撞到佢o地
有d 職業係一定要開車,唔係話個個都可以用多d 交通工具同單車...

Sheesh... what is this Geoff Meggs and our Bike Boy mayor smoking? If they haven't seen the congestion getting in and out of DT, and within DT itself, I'd really like to share some of their hallucination-inducing agents...

It is almost impossible for me to use the public transit system,
for meeting different clients from West Vancouver to White Rock,
and a van full of equipments and supplies.

I definitely use less automobile when traveling to downtown, they should have a car-less downtown, only allow commercial vehicles and trasit.

低能兒，

你亂Q咁放屁之前就唔該係咁兒都用個屎忽來諗吓，如果好似今日咁嘅天氣，你自己會唔會踩單車落 Downtown？溫哥華由秋末到春天基本上都係成日落雨濕濕嘅，咁你自己呢個低能仔又會唔會踩半個至一個鐘頭單車返工？

就算你會，果啲叫做死硬派。何況我睇死你一定唔會。

所以到係果句：去PK死啦你～
