I'd love to see a bike routes along the bigger roads here. For me, the key to riding in Victoria is using side streets as much as possible. There are, of course, some places you can't do that -- or at least not with some planning.
I'm glad Sailor mentioned that bikes are supposed to ride on roads, not sidewalks. Although it seems counterintuitive, I think riding on the roads is much safer than riding on sidewalks. Bikes move a lot faster than pedestrians and most drivers aren't looking for us on sidewalks. It's pretty easy to get creamed at a driveway or intersection if you're riding on a sidewalk. Plus, it doesn't build a lot of goodwill for bikes when you're terrorizing pedestrians. And if nothing else, riding on roads is far more convenient -- and faster-- for commuters.
I must add that after work and on weekends you're more than likely to see me using my bike for transportation, rather than my crummy car. I think if more people tried bikes as transportation they'd LOVE it. ...
