This bill enacts a death…

This bill enacts a death wish on cyclists. Anyone supporting this bill clearly does not believe that the lives of cyclist have any value, and you would rather see us dead under your cars than allow us to traverse the city with ease.

I found freedom when I started cycling. Through cycling I can get from East York to Etobicoke faster than the ttc, faster than your cars during rush hour. I’m able to visit more Toronto businesses, and attend more Toronto events. I’m able to enjoy the green spaces of our city and I see a new side of Toronto that is inaccessible if I drove a car.

Stop prioritizing cars in a city setting. There are buses and street cars for a reason. There should be bike lanes for the same reasons. It’s better environmentally, it’s safer for residents, and it keeps our streets clear of congested traffic and street parking. More bikes means less traffic. Less street parking means less traffic. Less cars means a healthier city.
