Drivers aren't educated on how to drive around cyclist which is absolutely insane. Our safety is at risk if bikes lanes are removed. You are basically passing a law that allows them to kill us. Sounds like an exaggeration but Toronto is one of the most dangerous cities where to bike and it's because of the poor education and its infrastructure. By taking the lanes you are telling us and them that we have no right to be on the road .
I have had two accidents caused by driver being reckless on roads where there is to this day still no bike lanes . Our safety is at risk.
Remember that cycling is better for our environment and for our health and for shops around us.
I have two jobs, I wouldn't be able to have them if I couldn't cycle. As a cyclist I try to avoid main road but it's not always possible/ doesn't make much sense when the city is a grid. I use the bloor lanes every day, it isn't magical cause driver now don't pay attention at all and keep on turning without looking and cutting our lanes but it is better than having no lanes at all.
You should pass a bill to improve public transit and bike path - not removing them.
