1. What type of bicycle riding do you do and how often?

I ride frequently, nearly daily until the rains come, on a hybrid bike mainly. I commuted for 7 years on my bike. I was also a volunteer at the first Mountain Bike Conference a year ago and my son’s favorite pastime is biking with me.

The City of Vancouver, TransLink and Transport, Canada are developing the Central Valley Greenway, a regional cycling and walking route between downtown Vancouver and New Westminster. We're holding an open house to review the detailed designs and get your feedback:

Time: Tuesday, November 8, 2005, 3:30 to 7:30 pm
Location: Great Northern Way Campus, Conference Centre, 555 Great Northern Way

This open house is for Section 1, which begins at Science World, continues along East 1st Avenue, then along Great Northern Way to Clark Drive and connecting with Grandview Highway North.

It seems that cycling has become a common cause for both new and existing candidates. The good news: everybody is in favour (although there seems to be a little grumbling in Vancouver about the Burrard street Bridge).

Here are some of the news items I've come across:

• North Shore News: Commute Options Bedevil North Shore
• Georgia Straight: Councillors get their asses to Critical Mass
• Georgia Straight (sidebar): Rolling toward the election
• Vancouver Sun: Cycling wheels to political forefront (November 2, 2005 - Not available on-line without a subscription)

If you know of others please add a comment on to this story or send me feedback.

1. What type of bicycle riding do you do and how often?

I ride only about once a month lately and not in the forests. I am in support of accommodating bicycling in the community. I believe in providing bicycle lanes as part of any new development and more money and resources to accommodate bicycling in general.

Salim Kaderali is a candidate for Council in the District of North Vancouver.

1. What type of bicycle riding do you do and how often?

Our family owns three bicycles and during the fine summer days we enjoy cycling Stanley Park 10k circuit and the new English Bay path. We also cycle around our home and go to play tennis, as well as visit the park. I work in Richmond so cycling to work is not an option.
