Don't be deceived by the apparent low number of cyclists. When it comes to bike lanes, we have to adopt a "build it and they will come" mentality. The City of Portland, which I always view as a pretty progressive place, has done marvelous things in this regard. Bicycles, electric bicycles, and scooters are all part of a coherent transportation solution in Greater Victoria and Oak Bay since we will never have any sort of mass transit.
