I am in favour of keeping the implemented bike lanes in Toronto. I am in favour of encouraging all forms of public transportation and prioritising those over motor vehicle traffic so that more people get to where they need to go faster.

Studies published online and referenced by CBC demonstrate that bike lanes throughout Europe and North America speed up traffic by putting fewer people in cars.

Please don't take away the bike lanes. Drivers are not skilled enough to look out for cyclists, particularly not when they are mixed in with motor vehicles. Removing the bike lanes will put more people in cars or taxis, and will slow traffic down, all while removing a fitness possibility for those that previously biked.
