I bike roughly fifty weeks out of the year to the gym, to my office, to the movie theatre, to buy groceries, the list goes on. Every single time I cycle past a ghost bike that has been locked to a post to memorialize a cyclist that has been killed by a vehicle I am forced to consider how easily that could have been me.

Bike lanes save not only the lives of cyclists, but the mental health of the motorists who kill cyclists due to the lack of barriers. More Torontonians cycle with each passing year and it is the government's responsibility to protect them.
