I applaud those who bike to work and those who bike for fitness and pleasure. Biking is a sustainable approach to getting around congested roads in an ever growing city. How amazing to get to one's destination while getting fit and enjoying nature at the same time!

In these challenging times, it is imperative that we respect everyone's right to public space. Our public spaces need to be shared. Cyclists require protected bike lanes to ensure their safety. Biking infrastructure needs to be maintained.

City Council staff have researched and planned our cycling network and provided bikes throughout the city. I see them being used and enjoyed in my Scarborough area.

It is abhorrent to consider removing bike lanes because this is not an evidence-based decision.
