I’ve been cycling in Toronto…

I’ve been cycling in Toronto for 50 years, through my student years at u of t and then to work every day in midtown. I cycle year round and regularly go to appointments downtown and back. Downtown bike lanes on Bloor, University and Yonge provide a safe, direct and fast route for me to cycle. The more safe bike lanes we have the greater the number of people who ride and that’s good for their mental and physical health, better for our air quality and better for vehicle congestion on our downtown streets. More riders = fewer cars. Please leave existing bike lanes and add more. If people don’t want to cycle and don’t want to be stuck in traffic they should be encouraged to take transit when travelling downtown.
