Calgary's Cycle Track Network seems to be catching on among women and families as the experiment reaches 770,000 logged trips since it opened a year ago, the project co-ordinator says.

"I can definitely say we're exceeding our expectations a bit," Tom Thivener, the city's cycling co-ordinator told the Homestretch.
Seems like a pretty big success all in all.

I know there was a 422 post thread on bike lanes the first time around, but I think we can refresh the discussion a year later.

Personally I've bought a bike and used the bike lanes 10-15 times in the last year - not huge, but it's 10-15 car trips that I didn't make.
