This is not a conservative…

This is not a conservative initiative. This is unnecessary spending that reduces people's choices in transportation options, adds bureaucracy and red tape, and keeps kids inside by not providing them with safe infrastructure to get to school via bike.

The logic that "fewer people use bike infrastructure than car infrastructure" ignores the fact that there is far more car infrastructure and it has been around far longer. A core conservative belief is that changes should be slow and practical, so obviously people take time to use bike infrastructure that is new and don't use it if it is not practical.

Presenting bike infrastructure as a "liberal" idea is absurd. Conservatism favours practicality, freedom of movement, reduced red tape and bureaucracy, and saving money. Biking and maintaining and expanding bike infrastructure accomplishes all of these things.

Torontonians elected Olivia Chow, an avid cyclist. To remove bike lanes from the city of Toronto, that so clearly likes their development, goes against conservative values and is undemocratic. I will not be voting for a conservative that wastes taxpayer money, increases red tape, and limits my transportation options to only driving.
