As a driver, cyclist and TTC user I can unequivocally say that my preferred format of getting around the city is on my bike. And I will ride my bike the majority of the year because the city has made that possible with bike lanes and through the expansion of bike share.
Citing a stat that only 1.2% of commuters are on a bike is disingenuous. That is an old stat from 2011: Cycling has exploded in the last few years.
Disappointed the Premier (1) pits drivers against cyclists (2) never comments on the poor operating track record of the TTC which is beset by delays everyday yet moves millions of residents every week (not to mention the poor record of metrolinks on LRT deliverables- where is his outrage there??)
Hugely disappointed and angry at the overreach into municipal affairs and thought of wasting taxpayer money to rip out existing bike lanes.
And infuriated that the Premier wants to apply a suburban mindset to the city. Look at the density in this city - cars are NOT the solution to move masses of people. Fine for suburbs but NOT a city.
