The Gateway Project may be the most wrongheaded solution to Greater Vancouver congestion that you could possibly imagine, but the BC government did acknowledge that cycling had a part to play in our transportation future when Kevin Falcon promised $50m for cycling infrastructure.

Delta Council are not happy with the Gateway Project.

First impressions on the Gateway Project.

On a balmy evening last June, a river of colour flows south up three lanes of the Burrard Street Bridge.

Bicyclists, hundreds of them, are jingling and swaying. They ride on mountain bikes, racers, tandems, cruisers, crazy choppers, kiddie bikes with their training wheels, bike-powered music machines, a bicycle-shopping cart hybrid, in-line skates and skateboards. June is Bike Month and this is the biggest of the year's "Critical Mass" rides. Organized by local bicycle activists, it starts off from outside the Vancouver Art Gallery on the last Friday of every month.
