Biking on roads in Ontario could be much a better experience if this bill were passed. It seems that the bike lanes in Kingston, my current place of residence, were an afterthought, hurriedly squeezed in on busy thoroughfares as an attempt to appease a growing number of bikers. The limited road-space allocated to bikers can be unsafe, which discourages commuters from traveling via bike. Not only is biking a great cardio exercise (without feeling particularly strenuous), it's also more environmentally friendly than gas-powered cars. In this way, larger bike lanes are conducive to the provinces' existing environmental initiatives.

A bike-friendly community is a safer, healthier community. If this bill is enacted, no one loses. Thank you for taking the time to read my appeal.
