Calgary Cycling Paths & Infrastructure

[outoftheice]

Speaking of bylaws.. that's one hurdle to bike sharing in Calgary that I've never really considered before. If I'm correct, Calgary has a bylaw requiring anybody on a bike to be wearing a helmet. I don't think most of the other cities with bike sharing programs have a similar bylaw. I can't think of a way around this without forcing users to buy their own helmets. Since a lot of people who use these bike sharing programs are tourists or people without their own bikes, I could see this as a reason for a bixi style program to fail in Calgary.
