*************************
I am a senior cyclist who regularly meets friends for lunch on Mississaga Street. I am committed to a greener Orillia, but the city is not returning the favour.

There are no bike stands on our active main street. With great difficulty, I have had to lock my bike to a metal garbage can while waving off the wasps.

Surely we can do better than that.
