I am all for more cycling amenities in our city. Anything to make cycling safer and easier is a good thing. However cycling will not reach the levels in Europe for a very, very long time and probably never. Utrecht has population about half of Hamilton's and an area of less than 100 km2. Geneva has a population of just under 200,000 and an area of less than 16 km2. When the city is that small and travel is so short cycling (and transit) become so much more viable. Both cities are also the major destinations in their area not a suburban centre. The snow and cold just add the detriment. We have people who commute with bikes and I applaud them for making it work but it is not main stream and is not becoming mainstream any time soon.
