The Editor,
Port Moody: great gag but your forgot to take down the signs after April Fool's Day!
I like the way you guys think. Making Gatensbury hill a bike route? It's a classic "gotcha."I love it!
I know very few recreational cyclists or even commuter cyclists that can make that hill. It's a brutal and unrelenting grade from bottom to top. Especially funny when you have other hills, such a Thermal, that are far more manageable for cyclists.
Better yet, you've put dividers on the road and kept the double yellow solid lines so even the most impatient driver won't be able to safely or legally pass a cyclist who is going up the hill.
Those "form a single line" signs are great as well. I'm a patient driver but even I don't think that I could stay behind the cyclist version of me going 7 km/h up that hill. All sarcasm aside, I appreciate every new bike route that a city puts in. At least you're trying. Hint, hint Port Coquitlam.
