Except Bicycles documents the design of neighbourhood bikeways. A neighbourhood bikeway is generally a local street with low traffic volumes and speeds making it a safer route option than most. What makes it a neighbourhood bikeway though, are the design features that contribute to lowering those traffic volumes and speeds. There are many local streets that might be considered safe to ride a bicycle, but a neighbourhood bikeway will be a specially selected route considered to be an important corridor and part of a larger overall network, providing meaningful connections between other bike routes, origins and destinations. Neighbourhood bikeways provide an excellent opportunity to build some key parts of a network at relatively low cost and impact. Except Bicycles could best be described as a photo essay taking you on a journey through many examples of the typical features you will find along a neighbourhood bikeway.
