Bannatyne at Ellen

I shudder every time I cycle down Bannatyne past Ellen. Ellen has a section where it's clearly labeled "one-way" traffic, but allows cyclists to head in both directions. How confusing for both motorists *and* cyclists.

Geez Louise

I used to cycle on the road portion of the Louise Bridge, taking the full lane. However, cars often passed me, nearly hitting oncoming traffic. I emailed the Winnipeg Police Service, and they responded and said I could ride on the sidewalk.

Approaching the Louise Bridge from the north. Note the vegetation obscuring the view of oncoming sidewalk traffic.



Exiting the Louise Bridge via the sidewalk:

Rounding the corner - very slowly, as far right as practicable, aside from passing the people waiting for the bus to the left (street side). A cyclist passed me going the opposite direction on the sidewalk as I took this photo, so sticking to the right is essential.

Right before I merge back into traffic on the street. Again, sticking to the right, as a cyclist travelling in the opposite direction on the road needed to merge back onto my sidewalk on his or her way to the bridge.
