Because they aren't legally allowed to ride on the sidewalk, and riding on any of the main roads in Hamilton is ridiculously dangerous, my older kids just don't use a bike to get places. Some of them will ride within our neighbourhood, or recreationally on the Rail Trail, but rarely or never actually use a bike to go somewhere in the lower city that they might need to go. They either walk or take the bus-- if they could ride a bike if would cost them a lot less than HSR fare, but to bike to a part-time job at, say, Eastgate Square is taking your life in your hands. A very different experience from my youth, when I got everywhere I needed to get, and it didn't cost me a cent.

...Just saw this in the spec: the young man was riding home from work.
