I use bike lanes in Toronto…

I use bike lanes in Toronto regularly, and appreciate the safety and convenience they offer on Bloor, University and Yonge and other thoroughfares. They make getting around the city easier for me and I feel they are a healthier option.

I believe there is data to show that year-round use is growing and that bike lanes do not contribute to traffic congestion or gridlock in any meaningful way. Further, I understand there are studies from around the world that support how bike lanes are beneficial. I don’t believe Toronto is unique in this regard.

I feel bike lanes make living in the city better not only for cyclists, but also for drivers (fewer cars), local businesses and the environment.

Please help keep Torontonians safer and encourage the use and expansion of bike lanes, not the removal. Respect our municipal councils as they make plans and decisions in the best interest of residents and visitors.
