The City of Prince George is in the midst of an Official Community Plan Review, and one of the topics being addressed is the role of bikes and bike lanes in the city. One of the central questions is 'Are bike lanes for everybody?'

It's a large topic with many considerations. The bicycle was a form of transportation well before the automobile became common. People debate the issue and ask why there isn't more infrastructure for this contraption in place already. But, much like a road for automobiles, a bicycle lane is expensive to build. If we look at dedicated bike lanes as an investment, do they pay off?

To answer these questions and more, CFUR talked to  Dr. Rylan Graham and Dr. Mark Groulx of University of Northern BC’s School of Planning & Sustainability. They explore Prince George’s past, present, and potential future that could include bicycle lanes for residents of the city.
