On April 11, more than 600 Victoria-area cyclists of all ages and experience rode safely and serenely down Shelbourne Street — a main artery usually clogged with cars.
Saanich, B.C. joined six other Canadian cities and 1,000 worldwide in celebrating World Health Day. Authorities closed the Shelbourne corridor to motor traffic for part of the day and provided a police escort.
Riders left Gordon Head Recreation Centre at 11 a.m., pedalling south to Shelbourne Plaza where they were invited to share their vision of area development with the Saanich Planning Department and the Bicycle and Pedestrian Committee. The Greater Victoria Cycling Coalition booth was on scene, along with other livable city advocates.
