DO NOT PASS CYCLISTS

This morning I rode my bike thru Johnson Street Bridge in Victoria and saw a sign that reads

DO NOT PASS CYCLISTS

Now I understood why the vehicles were all following me when I was riding on the bridge last week, even though I was on the very right side of the road.

Wow... that's really something for cyclists in the Cycling Capital of Canada!

I have been riding on the beautiful Galloping Goose Trail and here is a bit more info about the trail:

Galloping Goose Trail
British Columbia

Galloping Goose Trail follows an old railway line past farmland, a quiet cove and hidden lake, rocky outcrops, a Douglas-fir forest, marshland and more. The 55-km (34-mi) trail links to several parks, with wildlife evident everywhere.

From Victoria West, start out at the Selkirk Trestle and follow the trail west to Sooke. There, turn north and continue to the old gold mining area of Leechtown.

From downtown Victoria, cross the Johnson Street Bridge. Turn right onto the paved path that connects to Harbour Road and the trail.

Galloping Goose Trail is multi-use, so be prepared to share the road with others from time to time.
