Economic benefits occur when cyclists are travelling at a low enough speed they notice retail signs, store windows and are encouraged to stop and patronize their local businesses.
“Cyclists can gawk and shop”

Herman Custodio photographed this image of cyclists resting on Main Street in Brampton at Vivian Lane.
The BDDC is working in conjunction BBAC and the 8-80 Cities organization on “do-able” neighbour pilot projects in downtown Brampton. These images show what can happen when a few parking spaces are rented and converted into charming spaces for the people.
