These bike lanes have improved the safety of our roads for thousands of bikers. If we cannot all agree that the lives saved are worth the few minutes of time potentially added to a drivers commute then there may be no agreement reached.
Safety is paramount here.
Do not pretend to care about your children’s lives when you send them out on their bike to school if you cannot acknowledge the impact these lanes can have on a single life.
Rider volumes will only grow if we stop attacking the people who support them.
There’s an interview of Vincent Price being asked what the scariest thing about Toronto is, his answer: the Traffic.
That answer predates bike lanes, so I wonder exactly why we believe that these lanes are to blame for the cities problems. Once more people continue to feel safe using them, and their friends invite them to ride, we could see this city grow into a beautiful less polluted place.
KEEP THE BIKE LANES
