Those at Saskatoon Cycles say there isn’t enough being done to make the roads safer, and certainly not enough urgency.
“We are vulnerable road users in situations where we are confronted with dangerous intersections and then having to make choices of what to do in a split second to avoid feeling endangered or actually being physically ,” James Arnold with Saskatoon Cycles said.
As Arnold looked at the intersection where the collision took place, he said he had felt scared on that corner before.“What are we doing, Saskatoon?” he asked. “Saskatoon city council, please, let’s get this together. Let’s avoid more injuries and death.”According to SGI, between 2017 and 2022 across the province, there were 708 total collisions involving bicycles. Six of them were fatal.
“Cyclists are what we call vulnerable road users,” Tyler McMurchy, a spokesperson for SGI, said. “They don’t have that protection that a motor vehicle offers when you’re sitting in a cage that’s designed to protect you with additional safety measures like airbags and seatbelts.”
