Dear Mssrs Hudac and Clark,
Quebec has signed cycle routes out in the boonies. Why not Ontario?
If the government of Ontario would get some advice from the Ontario
Cycling Association and local bike clubs, some rural routes could be
decided on and signed quite cheaply. Routes could also be marked on
bicycle tourist maps like other provinces and states have.
Not only would this be more inviting to bicycle tourists from Ontario
and abroad, but it would also remind motorists that they share the
road.
Thanks,
Tom Trottier
