City TV just did a short piece on clearing snow from bike lanes.
For my portion, I was interviewed for about 10 minutes on all manner of subjects related to winter biking, including what to wear (just regular winter clothes are enough), what bike equipment to have (fenders are good, and lights. They took close ups of my studded tires, but I tried to make the point that 90% of the winter, roads are clear of snow and ice.) etc. I didn’t really grok to the fact that they were focusing on what the city could do better. When they asked that question, I talked about the need for more infra, and to make a connected bike network.
At least they included my plug for the Bloor bike lanes. Oh, and I had the foresight to remove my helmet mirror so that I only looked 90% Fred.
Update: I posted some pictures of good and bad bike lane snow clearance at Dandyhorse.
Biking in a Big City 
Yes, sometimes the bike lanes are fine. But we don’t always bike in bike lanes and it shouldn’t be so perilous to be biking on other streets some days – with a particular need for a consistent clear width of lane, and a patience from drivers for a cyclist who is far out.
And other times, the bike lanes are not OK to bad.
