I support bike lanes -- but…

I support bike lanes -- but NOT on major arteries, such as Bloor St. and Yonge St. People demonize drivers without understanding that many of us need to drive to take elderly parents to appointments (or even just to take them to lunch!), to drive our pets to the vet, to pick up groceries, or to complete any number of seemingly mundane tasks that simply cannot be done on a bicycle. People also seem to forget that we live in a northern climate and riding a bicycle isn't conducive to commuting in snow, sleet and slush. Don't let the desires of the (very) few continue to negatively impact the needs (including access and speed of EMS, fire and police) of the very many.

Thank-you!
