The Escarpment will always be an issue for cyclists, even if you're in good shape.

So how to get people safely and efficiently up and down the hill? I'm not sure about an incline railway or a cable car. How frequently would they run? How convenient would that be?

My fantasy would be something resembling a giant outdoor escalator. Place your bike into a groove of some sort and just step on. Easy peasy. Maybe some day we'll have LRT going up and down the Escarpment. Could we have a car that's just for people with bikes? No seats, just open space.

I don't know. No easy answers there...
