Please preserve and expand bike lane networks in Ontario.
They save lives, promote clean transportation, and reduce the use of internal-combustion vehicles.
More car lanes means more cars. It's called induced demand.

Meanwhile, every person on a bicycle (in a bicycle lane) is one person not in a car.

Your anti-bike rhetoric is endangering cyclists, emboldening road rage, and confounding efforts to stop car dependency. You can't blame bike lanes for congestion and be serious about it.
Bike lanes are traffic lanes too.
If there are no longer bike lanes on BLOOR, YONGE and UNIVERSITY, I will be riding these streets in car lanes. I will not stop riding.

There is a joy in riding a bike to work that cannot be achieved sitting in a car.

Please don't take this province backward!
