而家社會係咁架啦~
d 人開始覺得當一d 和平既方法唔work 既時候, 就會有一d 比較激進既方法去宣示自己既不滿.

MJJ you don't even know what the Critical Mass is, how can you comment on it?! Actually it was peaceful, nothing 激進, I was there and the drivers (most of them) are very supportive too.
Can't say the Critical Mass didn't do anything, look at Burrard Bridge bike lane, the government is getting the message. Actually Richmond need some more bike lanes too.

I don't object having bike lane, but don't do it from taking away a proper "car" lane for that. It's not the way of easing traffic congestion. Not all people can bike if they live far. Not everyone can afford the time.

Take Richmond William Rd for example.
Before, it was two lane both east and west bound. And now, there are two bike lanes and only single lane both east and west bound, only left is a central lane for turning. You can see that the usage of the bike lane is far less than the flow of vehicle.

If people find the roads more congested they will switch to biking or walking.  People like to find excuses such as saying that they don't have time.  Everybody has 24 hours a day.  Vancouver is so behind compared to Europe and even some cities in the US.

Nobody asks you to bike all the way from Richmond to downtown, for example.  But you can at least bike to your nearest skytrain/bus station and put your bike on the bus.

No time?  Too bad.  I guess you have a lot of time waiting in traffic.

Richmond really needs to improve their bike links. I tried biking to work last year and there are lots of bike links and pedestrian walkway that end suddenly!!!
So where should the bike or the pedestrian go after that.

In order to bus to work, I have to xfer 3 buses and time is about 1 hr, versus 20 minutes if I drive (on highway and most of the time no traffic). Which one will you choose? Not to mention safety issue while I wait at bus stop ....the office area is kinda "remote" and quiet after hours...
I just want to say that some time public transit is not that feasible la.

I would take the 1 hr option on any day.
Also, by biking, you are combining exercising with transportation.

I always remember a famous illustration of how ridiculous modern lifestyle is: you drive your car and then take the elevator to your gym to work out on the treadmill.

講起translink都幾激氣，成日要＄，我哋又無得監管，佢話乜就乜，好此richmond no3 road之前唔知徙咗幾多錢整中間個條 99 express lane， 種晒樹，宜家咪又係要嚓哂，徙哂我哋啲血汗錢。仲有，啲 bus stop 整哂glass top，靚就靚，又唔知整咗幾多＄， 無＄就唔洗下下整到啲野咁＜靚＞吓嘩。咁又係嘅，啲＄又唔係佢嘅，整靚啲用多啲＄又關佢咩事呢。無咪喺我哋個荷包到羅囉。

Once you workout yourself by biking, walking and save time. In the end of the day, you spend your saved time sitting in front of the computer, or lying in your sofa. What's the difference?
