"If any candidate supports cycling, it would be me!  It seems to me   that I have already agreed to much of CfSC's platform, with only a little quibble here and there as to cost.  I started cycling to work here in Ottawa in 1997, when I was living at Centrepointe (where I still am) and working on Parliament hill (a 27 km daily round trip). I no longer work on the Hill but we got rid of our car in 2003 and rely on our bikes (and the bus and an occasional car rental) to get around.

I have seven blog entries categorized "cycling" at my website:  http://juliaringma.ca/?page_id=69

To sum up, I support the objectives of Citizens for Safe Cycling.

My additional comments: We need to change the culture of cycling, from where it is only for children, sportsters or people who can't afford a car, to where it is accepted as a proper mode of transportation.  This is a long and gradual process but it can be done.  We can start with road design and traffic engineering and stop worrying about how to make it easier to drive a car (driving your own car is already the easiest mode of transportation, in terms of comfort anyway), and start working at making it easier for the more challenging modes of transportation, which are walking and cycling."
