Bike Lanes Hold the Future…

Bike Lanes Hold the Future for Toronto
Please don't remove the Toronto bike lanes! I have lived in Toronto my entire life. My husband and I have six children who all attended UofT. Several of them biked to the university daily from our home near at Mt. Pleasant and Eglinton. It was great exercise and very fast. The problem they faced was drivers not wanting to share the road.
My son bikes from his home near Bayview and Eglinton every day to go to work at King and Bay. With the bike lanes in place, he can do this safely. I love my son as does his wife and two small children. As a mother, I worry that if you remove the bike lanes, his commute to downtown Toronto will not be as safe as it is now.
Toronto is an amazing city that is for everyone, not just cars! Removing the bike lanes is a step backwards and makes the city favour cars over people. Bike lanes are the future of every large city in the world. They encourage exercise and are a great way for people to get around.
Please don't take our bike lanes away. I couldn't bear it if I lost my son; he will continue to bike to work with or without the bike lanes. This city is a better place to live with roads being shared by cars and bicycles!
