It's stupid that we even have to fight things like this.

Google maps screenshot showing a route from downtown Ottawa to the airport with Bicycle selected as mode. It would take 1 hour 12 minutes by transit and 50 minutes by bicycle. This is why Ottawa employs so many bike thieves- to reduce competition for transit.
