Dave Meslin appeared on the CBC program the Current back on November 22nd to talk about the Toronto Cyclists Union and other efforts to give cyclists a larger voice in large cities in North America.The podcast of the program (mp3) is now available on the Current podcast page.
I think the most important thing to take from this (other than all the good bike-friendly stuff going on in other cities) is the widespread belief amongst non-cyclists of:
"...the stereotype of cyclists as anarchic zealots, hell on two wheels"The longer we take to change this perception, the longer it will be until cyclists are seen as a valuable and viable user of public roads.
