Only 424 days left ’til the next municipal election. Not too soon to gear up the commentary machine.
So here’s a prediction for any incumbent or aspiring candidate in Vancouver. Be prepared to saddle up. Some reporter/blogger is likely to rip off this idea from the New York Daily News:
In The News Cycle reporter Justin Rocket Silverman – and his GoPro camera – will join newsmakers for a ride on Citi Bikes. Destination? Wherever they want to take us…
.
By November of next year, we should have our own bike share. So candidates, be prepared to demonstrate your cycling sophistication, and, of course, to take positions on cycle tracks and bikeways (especially Point Grey Road), compulsory helmet-law enforcement, and why x neighbourhood doesn’t have bike share (or has a docking station taking up parking spaces).
Should be fun.
