Agreed about River and Stradbrook needing bike lanes. Something like the Sherbrook bike lane would work well in both cases. It's attainable on River by shrinking each lane or removing the few parking spots on the north side. The bike lane has really improved the feel of Sherbrook, and it would do River well to get the same kind of vibe, especially since River is catching on as a retail strip in its own right. As part of bike laning both streets, I'd like to see bike lanes down Wellington to connect to "bike boulevard" Grosvenor and the bike trail further down Wellington. There's plenty of room for bike lanes on Wellington, too.

As for the QEW bike lane shenanigans, I always figure we're supposed to bike on the sidewalk through that are. There are signs advising cyclists to yield to pedestrians, which isn't a prohibition. I seem to recall seeing that the city wants to install bike lanes on Main street, so maybe they'll figure out a smarter system when they do that.
