I find it hard to be patient and level-headed when dealing with an issue such as this. The removal of Bike Lanes is not only illogical but also stems from a concerning degree of stubbornness and narrow minded beliefs. I moved to this country and specifically to Toronto because of the cycling infrastructure - the best in North America.

What is there to say? What's the point of backing up our pro-bike lane rhetoric with decades of data if it's all to be ignored?

I will miss seeing the parents on cargo-bikes taking their kids to school, the old folks riding their dutch-style bikes confidently on the bike lanes, the multitude of young kids I see exercising their independence by safely transporting themselves to after-school activities.

Every year that goes by I see an improvement in the cycling culture of the city and the idea that someone wants to dial it all back with no apparent benefits other than meaningless points on a political campaign is beyond me.
