| The bicycle continues to play an important role in the lives of Canadians. More Canadians today own bicycles than at any other point in time.

The versatility of the design of the modern safety bicycle has helped it spread throughout the limited impact on the environment, bicycles will undoubtedly play a greater role in our daily lives in the future.
