Thank you for your email, it was most interesting and thought provoking.

Having lived in Scandinavia myself I am very familiar with utility cycling and was an active participant in that form of transport while I lived in Sweden.

I presently bike on a regular basis (as a means of transport) to University and the local shops and find it to be a great form of transport and am keen to support it in our province and encourage other people to give it a go.

I support helmet usage being discretionary - I believe it is a matter of personal choice.

I think that it is reasonable for cyclists to use footpaths as long as they are considerate to other users (and vice versa).

Thanks again for your email,

Kind regards,

Elizabeth Barkla
