Fear of winter
If it's so great, then why don't more people do it?
There are practical reasons people don't cycle in the winter: slippery roads, low visibility and snow on streets can force drivers and cyclists to share a narrower space.
But it's difficult to gauge if it's statistically more dangerous. An Ontario coroner's report found that the majority of cycling deaths happen in the spring and summer months — only 9% of cycling deaths happened in January, February and March in the province between 2006 and 2010.
也许是膝盖坏了,医生说从此以后你不能骑自行车了结果前几天,他突然开车上班了,成了我们公司的大新闻。。。。
当烫那些买不起车的,冬天也不耽误骑车。其实窝村还是有些人冬天骑车出行的。
骑起!自行车道除雪是2013年开始的
Winter Cycling Network
Following a recommendation in the 2013 Ottawa Cycling Plan, a network of approximately 40km of cycling facilities will be maintained during this winter season. The Cycling Plan identified several important cycling routes, in addition to those facilities that are already maintained, that form a modest network centered around the downtown core. Cycling facilities will be maintained to the same standard as the neighbouring sidewalk or vehicle travel lanes.
On-street cycling lanes will be plowed following 2.5 to 5.0 cm of accumulation within the timelines identified in the Maintenance Quality Standards (within 24 hours following the completion of snow accumulation). Raised cycle tracks and multi-use pathways will be also be plowed following 2.5 to 5.0 cm of snow accumulation, however they are maintained to a snow packed standard with the exception of those adjacent to arterial roadways. Snow removal will be scheduled when snow banks are encroaching on to 50% of the existing width of the bike lane.
