We need a revamp of the infrastructure used by trucks, buses and vehicles, not the very small fringe group of cyclists. However the great bike lane debate acts as a convenient smokescreen for successive councils to pretend they are actually doing something, when in reality they are the problem.

Cats, bike lanes, and the Forum. HRM city council loves a good distraction from their failure to do anything productive. HRM City Council should be called HRM City Quagmire instead.
