It's hard to believe but according to this Star article, one man was the driving force behind the Toronto-Niagara BikeTrain initiative!
Standing in his navy suit and gold tie on a podium in Union Station, Justin LaFontaine doesn't look much like a cyclist. Or a man who can move mountains.But his passion for the activity and his persuasive abilities quickly become clear after representatives from Via Rail, several tourism operators and two levels of government explain how he convinced them all to work together.
Great job Justin! You're a great inspiration to anyone who wants to make a difference and start something that everyone else thinks is impossible.
Let's hope that the BikeTrain program expands throughout southern Ontario and Canada... there are a lot of great places to bike!Labels: infrastructure, news
