Cycling dangerous

Resident wants improved conditions for cyclists in Vernon

With regard to the City of Vernon article April 22, I could hardly believe what I was reading regarding bike safety.

Have they forgot people have been riding for two months now and the bike lanes are virtually non-existent. The set bike routes, like 39th Avenue, are filled with gravel and broken glass and potholes.

How are the cars to know where their lane ends and the bike lane starts? Cycling around Vernon is abysmal without these problems. There is the sudden end of bike lanes,

Where does one go? Into traffic or walk? I’m afraid to cycle in Vernon.

Please do something before someone gets hurt.

There are hundreds of cyclists obeying the rules that do cycle around Vernon.
