I learned to love cycling as…

I learned to love cycling as my main mobility mode when I lived in London UK, and when I moved back to Toronto I thought I would give it a try and it turned out to be the best things that ever happened to me in my life. Now with two kids, it turns out I don't need a car. I would never have thought growing that it was a possibility. But as it is, I travel to where I want to go faster, and for cheaper, which encourages me to travel more often and participate more in our vibrant economy. It also provides me and others with highly desirable knock-on effects such as living a healthier life, being happier and more benevolent, and decongesting our streets for those who really have to drive. I am not going back to driving in the city ever again, I will move out of the city first. Bill 212 is a troubling, unserious, pandering proposal that will achieve the opposite of its desired effects and be incredibly costly for Ontarians in general and Torontonians in particular, and Canadians as a whole. It is not the way to build denser cities for the challenges of the 21st century.
