Please do not destroy bike…

Please do not destroy bike lanes. It will only reduce the variety of transportation people can choose. If this legislation goes through, Ontario and its municipalities will be disgraced, and cyclists on the road will face immense danger due to angry and/or impatient drivers who often display a pattern of disrespect towards cyclists. More traffic lanes will not solve gridlock problems. More opportunities for public and car-alternative transportation methods, however, will. When we have less cars on the road, people will get where they need to be WHEN they need to be. Cyclists deserve respect, and for Ontario to decide to rip up the only lane on the road designated to keep them safe, the government is saying they are not worthy of this respect, and that their lives are worthless. You are telling people that a cyclist's life is not as precious as people are getting to places on time in a car. Please do not let this legislation go through; the future will hold in you in contempt as glaciers continue to melt due to the increase in greenhouse gas emissions, which are only exacerbated by personal vehicular transportation (read link to website below for more information). There is nothing wrong with driving a car, but to make it the supreme, primary, and default method of transportation to the point where the province has decided to rip up bike lanes and is demoting alternate forms of transportation -- putting lives at risk -- is dangerous and disgusting.
