IF YOU COULD CHANGE ONE THING ABOUT BIKING IN OTTAWA WHAT WOULD IT BE: I would love to see city planners take a more bike-centred approach to infrastructure. Creating a more extensive and accessible cycling network would encourage people to hop on their bikes and nourish Ottawa’s bike culture.

FAVOURITE SPOTS TO BIKE: Anywhere near water: along the Canal, the Ottawa River, the Rideau River.
FAVOURITE PLACE TO STOP AFTER A RIDE: BDT is great after a ride out to Aylmer. On the Ottawa side, a latte in the courtyard outside at Planet Coffee is a little piece of heaven.
