Biking as mode of transportation has multiple benefits: It's green, it boosts mental and physical health and it has a small footprint compared to motor vehicles. There are numerous examples in Europe how good bike infrastructure makes cities more vibrant and livable. Banning and tearing up bike lanes would set Toronto back in time and make it a worse place to live for its residents.
In stark contrast to the Premiers divisive comments, bikes and bike lanes are not an impediment to motor traffic. On the contrary, a good bike infrastructure helps alleviate congestion on city streets.
Biking is an important and convenient way for me to get around in the city. Without safe bike lanes it would become too risky and I would probably not ride. Passing Bill 212 would certainly mean that more cyclists would lose their lives in traffic and the Premier and his party would have blood on their hands.
