Dobrovolny added while a small percentage of people will cycle no matter what, separated lanes appeal to the largest group of potential cyclists — about 60 per cent of the general population — who are “interested but concerned” about getting on a bike.

On the Dunsmuir Viaduct, the number of cyclists has increased by 36 per cent since it opened, with more women and children using it.
