It is very easy to bike and walk in some parts of Whitehorse, such as in the Riverdale subdivision where I live. These areas feature segregated active transportation lanes and relatively slow traffic. Other parts of the City are further flung from the downtown core where most employment is concentrated and cyclists have to be especially brave to tackle the commute in slippery, dark and cold conditions where the roads are dominated by a very assertive group of commuters in large vehicles. Transit is available but underutilized. Improved lighting on active transportation routes is one thing that would make bike transit easier – but light pollution is already a concern so I’m not sure it would be accepted.
