When I moved to Toronto…

When I moved to Toronto there were very few bike lanes. I suffered a cracked rib in my first year, from a door opened carelessly. Traffic was terrible, transit was spotty and biking was dangerous. 15 years later street cars are more reliable along King and I haven’t swerved to miss a car door more than a handful of times.
I can easily afford a car but I don’t have one because I can safely bike. I don’t contribute to parade of cars chugging along major and side streets. Getting rid of bike lanes means we all share the road. Drivers don’t want to share the road, they don’t want cyclists at all so unless you’re planning to ban bikes, this doesn’t accomplish any real goal.
