The city of Seattle approves a 10-year Bicycle Master Plan, an attempt to raise cycling awareness. The plan aims to build 118 miles of new bike lanes, 19 miles of trails, and the addition of lane markings and signs across the city.

Toronto should be able to add 50 kilometres of bike lanes to city streets in 2008 if a bureaucratic speed bump is flattened out, says the chair of the bicycle committee.
