The awful cycling injuries I’ve seen are preventable – governments must build bike lanes (www.theglobeandmail.com)

cyclist hit on a highway

Like a full-on, "no cyclists allowed" highway? 401? 404? etc.? (EDIT: just seeing that this is for Vancouver... the highways I listed are near Toronto).

There are plenty of alternatives to those highways (which are illegal to cycle on), but I agree that there needs to be way more infrastructure for long distance, municipality to municipality cycling.

There are stretches of Highway 1 in North Van that allows cyclists. Personally I wouldn't, but it's not illegal

Not Vancouver or Toronto. I’ve never seen anything against bicycling on that stretch and, to the contrary, see a few hardcore road folks most times I use it.
