We need to have some awareness for drivers. I personally ride the sidewalk because its too
dangerous to ride the road. Agreed the debris along the curbs is bad for cyclists. Even
though I ride a mountain bike the point remains.
For me its safer to ride the sidewalk and worry about cars coming out of driveways, (disc
brakes rule the stopping world.) I ride against traffic on the sidewalks so I can see
oncoming turning traffic in to the plazas. Riding on the other side means I cant see who
is turing into me. Its happened befor. A car cut me off, misjudging my speed. Forcing me
to lock the brakes.
Mostly im worried about the side mirrors, of passing traffic being too close to my
elbow.

On this, the main safety item I think city needs to address is bike lanes in the area.
It's all well and good painting pretty lines all over the place, but personally I
won't be riding my road bike on them as this is where all the crud ends up and
besides, the surface is usually broken up or just too rough. OK for mountain bikes I
guess, but useless for us. OK, we typically ride out of town, but not always. I think it
is good that there is some sort of "barrier" between the cars and bikes, but I
think that this whole issue was contrived by non-cyclists.
Comments?

Attention Chatham Kent Riders, with the opening season upon us we are looking for
suggestions for the website cycleck.ca which is down for the time being, creating better
the awareness, safety and opening the door of more of the community to enjoy the sport and
participate. The Silent Ride in May is just one of the suggestions that have been made for
this year. As well the VIA Bike Train program has added Southwest Ontario as a pilot for
this year. Promoting Chatham to be one of there stops show casing historical sites of the
Underground Railroad and local wineries. Possibilities of a printed map showing routes
like what Ottawa has with the National Capital Commission (I believe Dan has one from
Ottawa).
All suggestions welcome.
Rachael
======================
NOTE Matt and I have been invited to a CycleCK.ca meeting scheduled for this Thursday
evening where some of CK big wigs to be there. Anything we as a group can come up with I
shall be glad to present.
From Safety Concerns on certain roads to Tourism
Lets not forget that we are the one riding in this area so what can be done to make it
better or attack more people, even tourists...

Me again !!
Let's not forget the DOG issue in the country. I've already been bitten on the
leg. (That dog is dead now !!!) Dog owners in Chatham-Kent have a responsibility to
control their animals by law.
To comment on the writer below, I understand his point, BUT it's illegal to ride on
the sidewalk. He should ride the road and learn to deal with the idiot drivers. Car
drivers need to realize that bicycles are vehicles and should be given proper clearance
and respect. Also bicycle riders need to learn that they to are a vehicle and should be
ridden on the RIGHT with the flow of traffic. The people who (are told to) ride against
the flow on the left are asking for an accident. It's far harder drive around someone
coming toward you than it is to pass in the same direction.
OK I'm done bitching for now, but I think these points are valid.

Thanks for bringing up the cyclist responsibilities Geoff. It would be really nice to see
some sort of education piece regarding cycling and road safety for our community. Both
riders and drivers seem to be extermely unaware of what the safest practices and laws for
cyclist are.

OK so I printed all the replies, even Matt’s as it is a good sign of how many riders in
Chatham feel and where they ride…
This needs to be corrected and trust me, I always rip at him for doing so. He used to live
in Windsor and he stressed to me that it is not a concern over there.. only in Chatham.
I also printed some stuff from the www.mto.gov.on.ca<http://www.mto.gov.on.ca> site

Thanks for bringing up the cyclist responsibilities Geoff. It would be really nice to see

Let's not forget the DOG issue in the country. I've already been bitten on the
leg. (That dog is dead now !!!) Dog owners in Chatham-Kent have a responsibility to
control their animals by law.
To comment on the writer below, I understand his point, BUT it's illegal to ride on
the sidewalk. He should ride the road and learn to deal with the idiot drivers. Car
drivers need to realize that bicycles are vehicles and should be given proper clearance
and respect. Also bicycle riders need to learn that they to are a vehicle and should be
ridden on the RIGHT with the flow of traffic. The people who (are told to) ride against
the flow on the left are asking for an accident. It's far harder drive around someone
coming toward you than it is to pass in the same direction.
OK I'm done bitching for now, but I think these points are valid.

We need to have some awareness for drivers. I personally ride the sidewalk because its too
dangerous to ride the road. Agreed the debris along the curbs is bad for cyclists. Even
though I ride a mountain bike the point remains.
For me its safer to ride the sidewalk and worry about cars coming out of driveways, (disc
brakes rule the stopping world.) I ride against traffic on the sidewalks so I can see
oncoming turning traffic in to the plazas. Riding on the other side means I cant see who
is turing into me. Its happened befor. A car cut me off, misjudging my speed. Forcing me
to lock the brakes.
Mostly im worried about the side mirrors, of passing traffic being too close to my
elbow.

On this, the main safety item I think city needs to address is bike lanes in the area.
It's all well and good painting pretty lines all over the place, but personally I
won't be riding my road bike on them as this is where all the crud ends up and
besides, the surface is usually broken up or just too rough. OK for mountain bikes I
guess, but useless for us. OK, we typically ride out of town, but not always. I think it
is good that there is some sort of "barrier" between the cars and bikes, but I

Attention Chatham Kent Riders, with the opening season upon us we are looking for
suggestions for the website cycleck.ca which is down for the time being, creating better
the awareness, safety and opening the door of more of the community to enjoy the sport and
participate. The Silent Ride in May is just one of the suggestions that have been made for
this year. As well the VIA Bike Train program has added Southwest Ontario as a pilot for
this year. Promoting Chatham to be one of there stops show casing historical sites of the
Underground Railroad and local wineries. Possibilities of a printed map showing routes
like what Ottawa has with the National Capital Commission (I believe Dan has one from
Ottawa).
All suggestions welcome.
Rachael
======================
NOTE Matt and I have been invited to a CycleCK.ca meeting scheduled for this Thursday
evening where some of CK big wigs to be there. Anything we as a group can come up with I
shall be glad to present.
From Safety Concerns on certain roads to Tourism
Lets not forget that we are the one riding in this area so what can be done to make it
better or attack more people, even tourists...

=================
Attention Chatham Kent Riders, with the opening season upon us we are looking for
suggestions for the website cycleck.ca which is down for the time being, creating better
the awareness, safety and opening the door of more of the community to enjoy the sport and
participate. The Silent Ride in May is just one of the suggestions that have been made for
this year. As well the VIA Bike Train program has added Southwest Ontario as a pilot for
this year. Promoting Chatham to be one of there stops show casing historical sites of the
Underground Railroad and local wineries. Possibilities of a printed map showing routes
like what Ottawa has with the National Capital Commission (I believe Dan has one from
Ottawa).
All suggestions welcome.
Rachael
======================
NOTE Matt and I have been invited to a CycleCK.ca meeting scheduled for this Thursday
evening where some of CK big wigs to be there. Anything we as a group can come up with I
shall be glad to present.
From Safety Concerns on certain roads to Tourism
Lets not forget
that we are the one riding in this area so what can be done to make it better or attack
more people, even tourists...
Dan
