We bought electric bikes this year, sold our old pedal bikes in one day and usually ride every day the weather is nice, but it is impossible to get to some parts of Kamloops.
We found a stretch of bike lane on Valleyview Drive and parts of a bike lane up Summit Drive, but compared to other cities where we have cycled — including Victoria, Kelowna and Penticton — there really is no safe routes to ride locally.
With a huge spike in bicycle sales and such an influx of riders now, it seems like Kamloops is just not interested in providing safe, well-marked lanes for people to get out of their cars and onto their bikes.
