What’s wrong?
Bike-unfriendly barriers, Dartmouth waterfront trail.
Terry Drisdelle, Waterfront Development Corporation, 422-5115.
REMARKS
The new “chicanes” were required by CN, says Drisdelle, because travelling through them requires facing one direction, then the opposite, so that it’s almost impossible to not see that one train a day rolling at five km/hr down the tracks. And yes, they were specifically designed to force bikers to dismount.

Could some please explain to me why the hell these chicanes (no need for quotes around that word btw) are a bad thing?? It covers CN from insurance claims from idiots that peddle into a train and it probably may actually save a biker or two. So you have to dismount for five seconds, BIG DEAL.
