My 27 year old son Zachary has Fargile X syndrome, a form of cognitive disability. Zachary has found joy and independence riding his bike to his regular activities in our neighborhood, Leslieville. Thanks to the bike lanes, including the bike lane on the Danforth, Zachary comes home from his rides alive. Toronto’s bike lanes keep my special son safe.

They also keep me safe. I have been commuting by bicycle in Toronto for 40 years; I have also been driving on these streets for 40 years. It is safer and easier for drivers and cyclists when good bike lane infrastructure is in place.
