After years of driving to go from the east end to downtown, I have decided to take the bike for 30min everyday to get to work.
The main rational in why people use bike (or not) is because they can safely do so. Once the entire city is connected with safe bike lane, then it becomes a no brainer to do so.
Giving the priority to polluting vehicle versus bike that make people healthier and don’t pollute is a complete non sense.
Look at any city in Europe such as Amsterdam and you will see that the reason people take their bike is because it is 100% safe. Yes Toronto bike lane might not be use enough but this is because they are not yet completely safe and complete. They are many studies that show the obvious: the more you build roosts, the more cars go on them and you always end up with congestion. Be reasonable Doug: go bike to go to work and you will leave a healthier and longer life !
