I bike every single day. I…

I bike every single day. I know many people who in the last year have started biking as their means of getting around Toronto. This number will only grow with better infrastructure for biking. It is the most convenient option for more people and with better bike infrastructure it is safer and accessible for more people. Getting rid of bike lanes that already exist would frankly be a foolish idea, a waste of city time and money, and an unravelling of all the good work done. Bike lanes are making the city a better place, improving the quality of life for many. They take me to work. They take me to my friends, to restaurants, to my family. They allow me to get to my destination so much faster than a car or public transit. Look at cities like Copenhagen and Amsterdam – world class cities rely on good bike infrastructure. Please, for the sake of our quality of life and the future of Toronto, do not get rid of these bike lanes and please continue to make Toronto a better connected, bike networked city.
