10 years ago I was in a serious bike accident on Queen street, where my bike tire became caught in a streetcar track. Luckily I was not hit by a car and killed, but I sustained serious injuries, some of which impact me to this day. My accident would have been prevented had there been a bike lane. Since then I have continued to cycle in Toronto, but tried to restrict my travel to routes that have bike lanes, and this has increased my sense of safety immeasurably. Please don't remove bike lanes. We should be encouraging more people to use them.
