Cycling Hub rolls out

Welcome to thestar.com's new cycling blog.

The Cycling Hub is a place where you'll be able to find the latest news, information and commentary on what's going on with cycling in and around the city.

We want to make it a place for lively discussions about the key issues affecting those on two wheels, as well as those they share the streets with.

It will also be a place to find useful maintenance tips, cool rides around the GTA and Q & A sessions with experts.

But most of all, it will be a place where will get to hear from you on the issues.

Want more jobs? Build more bike lanes

As the City of Toronto debates changes to its downtown bike lanes, a new study suggests city officials might be wise to build even more of the lanes, not cut back.

Why? It could create more jobs.
