Bike lanes make it safe for…

Bike lanes make it safe for ALL motorists in Toronto. Drivers don’t want to hit cyclists and cyclists don’t want to be hit.

Please do your homework and look up global research on urban transportation before making decisions. Bike lanes reduce traffic congestion overtime. While increased car lanes in the short time reduce congestion but in the long term INCREASE traffic congestion. Also cycling is healthy, for both people and the environment so let’s encourage it in our cities.

I don’t own a car, can’t afford it and I’d rather bike if I can because it’s healthier for me. But lack of bike lanes or ones that just spontaneously end are not safe. My elderly parents drive and are always concerned about cyclists. They want me to continue to bike but don’t want to hit anyone and WANT bike lanes so everyone is safe.
