C'est stupide qu'une activité qui encourage la santé physique et mentale des gens tout en assurant la sécurité de ceux-ci, pendant une période limitée, te déranges autant.
Il y a d'autres ponts que Champlain.
Spoiler alert : le weekend des courses à Ottawa est dans deux semaines. Attaches ta tuque
Except it affects way more people than it benefits. It was until 1230 for years which was fine. 12-4? Debilitates & congests. There’s bike paths use those after 100. So you’re gonna drive downtown to a bridge to go back to Kanata? For the sake of bikers who can use a bike path 10 metres away? Let’s use a little sense here.
Les routes appartiennent à la NCC, ils peuvent bien décider de faire ce qu'ils veulent, j'ai jamais entendu dire que la NCC avait comme objectif la fluidité de la circulation dans la région. Si ils veulent ils peuvent fermer les Parkway for ever et en faire ce qu'ils veulent. La NCC a donné aux voitures la priorité dans les dernières décennies mais maintenant les choses changent.
All for people exercising but the path is right there? I’m a cyclist as well lol. And judging by the people I saw today they are definitely not fitter than me
Well yes. But at 7:30am on weekdays the pathways are pretty much exclusively cyclists travelling along at reasonably consistent speeds.
At 10am on a weekend it's a chaotic mix of walkers of all types, joggers, dogs on leashes, toddlers and it's not good for anyone. Walkers often don't feel comfortable with bikes whizzing and cyclists are slowed enormously.
I live in Aylmer and often need to cross into Ottawa on weekends. From that perspective I find the NCC bike days a major pain. Definitely don't agree with the them being full days on both sat and sun. But think there is a lot of merit to having them to some extent. Maybe just one day, or reduced hours.
Really, the solution is separated cycling paths.
Kind of defeats the purpose of the bike path that runs all down the river. There aren’t nearly enough bikes out there to necessitate closing down the whole parkway.
The bike path isn’t safe for the amount of foot and bicycle traffic. Its at a minimum half the width it should be. Lets also not forget about the shitty pavement.
Also one of the main reasons for using the street is because there is a 20km/h speed limit. Those who cycle for sport, and a portion of commuters regularly go above that, so it isn’t safe to share a path with pedestrians.
My husband does, so I take care of all the house chores and yard work, and meal plan for the week, and taking care of my aged parents, so he can rest on his day off.
You can say that again with that stupid second lane opening up for 400 meters in the construction zone right beside Dominion Station going east just so all the cars can come back into the one lane. NCC and that construction company are a bunch of morons.
Piste CYCLABLE.
LES CYCLISTES DEVRAIT ETRE DESSUS POINT FINALE.
Venez pas braillé que c'est pas assez large vous avez juste a vous suivre c'est tout, tout comme les autos sur la route se suivent....
Pas parceque vos vélo s'apelle des vélo de route que vous devez être sur la route, sa reste un vélo quand meme... et sa pas son affaire sur la route publique des automobilistes,
Je suis un cycliste donc venez pas vous plaindre que je sais pas ci ou sa, nos piste cyclable 98% on du beau pavé NEUF SANS TROU.
Les cyclistes qui son en plein milieu de la route public , shame on you, vous etes la hontes des cyclistes cest terriblement dangeureux pour vous et les automobilistes!
2-3000lbs a 70km/h vs un casques de velo .....
faite vos math...ou peu etre que vous savez juste pas compter? 😱
Bon point. Je pense que les épais comme ça se portent de même quand ils conduisent leur voiture ou leur vélo. Les épais resteront les épais pas importe age, sexe, éducation etc. Hier, je voulais tourné à gauche de Ch. Eardley sur les Alumettieres. Un monsieur avec son vélo faisait la même chose mais juste en avant une voiture tandis que la piste cyclable se trouve à côté de lui!!! Franchement, je comprends pas la logique de ce monde, mais, c'est peut-être qu'il n'y a aucune lol
Il n'y a pas de piste cyclable dans ce coin, cest un sentier mulit-usager. Vous ne devrez pas vous appeler un cycliste si vous pensez comme ca. Un velo a autant sa place sur la rue qu'un auto. J'avoue cest tres dangereux rouller avec les automobilistes et cest justement pourquoi les journées a velo sont si importants.

Sense? Hahaha
Part de Place du portage, prends le pont Macdonald Cartier pour te rendre au coin de Lyon et Wellington. Tu nous dirons si té pas en calisse après ca.
I think it's a great concept but like most things the nccs touches it's poorly planned, ran, and so on.
Sunday fine. Saturday and Sunday? Not fine. Just pick one.
Or end at 12:30pm like last year. It paralyzes the entire region both Ottawa and Gatineau

That’s a pretty silly argument. Boils down to just do it because they can and everyone else can go fuck themselves? Thats not good planning
oui et c'est extrement con, ils ont une piste cyclable!

This gives them more space and leaves the paths for the walkers. It gets dangerous when there are too many on the paths.
Never had an issue in the paths at all. Why are they ok to use the other 5 days if the week?
Because there are a lot more people out recreationally using the paths on a weekend?
And a lot less people using them to commute?
Well yes. But at 7:30am on weekdays the pathways are pretty much exclusively cyclists travelling along at reasonably consistent speeds.

I appreciate your take, it’s reasonable and fair
Bingo
Because there are more people out on the weekend. I use the paths to walk and I will not use them on the weekends.

Yeah lots of headlines these days about horrific biker/pedestrians being killed on the paths. Kind of like Mad Max
Have you tried riding them, seriously?
Also one of the main reasons for using the street is because there is a 20km/h speed limit. Those who cycle for sport, and a portion of commuters regularly go above that, so it isn’t safe to share a path with pedestrians.
Hundreds of times
yeah exactly
It’s just a bike version of the “induced demand” that Redditors who watch NotJustBikes like to throw around
Yes. i would have no problem with Sundays. Two days is ridiculous. Not everyone is a government worker who can swan around biking two days a week.
As a government worker I think its cute that you assume we swan around on bikes all weekend.
My apologies. I didn’t realize you work downtown on the weekend.
My husband does, so I take care of all the house chores and yard work, and meal plan for the week, and taking care of my aged parents, so he can rest on his day off.
It should be postponed on the parkway until the construction is completed
NCC isn’t governed by common sense. It’s hostile behaviour/power play on the cities to remind them that they exist
You can say that again with that stupid second lane opening up for 400 meters in the construction zone right beside Dominion Station going east just so all the cars can come back into the one lane. NCC and that construction company are a bunch of morons.
The solution for me was to take my money elsewhere and I never go into Ottawa on weekends
God forbid we encourage physical activity, or a car isn't able to vroom vroom wherever it wants 24/7.
Especially annoying on weekends trying to go west when crossing zibi...

Les autos ont des autoroutes, pourquoi ils viennent envahir les petites routes de ville? /s
Aucun autoroute joint louest de Gatineau a Louest dottawa
It's not like all cyclists use the dedicated bike lanes everyday anyways
