German insurers have caught on to this- my insurance company will give me a discount if I ride more than 40 km a week commuting.

Unfortunately I work at home…

Tell me about it. The USA is the only industrialized country in the world without a public health-care system.

I am a US citizen who took a job in Toronto. Now I’m a health-care refugee. I am a US citizen who cannot return to the USA. Pre-existing condition. I love it here, but being a refugee stinks.

Is there a local BPAC (Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee) that helps allocate funds towards such projects?

Jacksonville’s BPAC passed a bill in the past that mandates bike lanes on all newly constructed roads etc. The BPAC is dead now but that is a different story.

Jack… Way to go, man! Keep it up!

Mike… I’d like to see the city turn the stop signs to favor Holland and create a crossing on national with a median to stop cars from turning and stripes to indicate a crossing.
