I am a 22-year-old cyclist…

I am a 22-year-old cyclist and I rely on bike lanes to safely get myself to and from work, school, the grocery store, my friends' houses, family, appointments, etc. Last May, I was hit by the driver of a pickup truck on a road that was supposed to have bike lanes installed, but where that promise fell through due to anti-cycling lobbying. I was left with a fractured pelvis and was unable to walk for 3 months. I lost my job while my sleep and performance in school have been significantly affected.

If we strip our roads of what little infrastructure we have, cyclists will die as a direct result. The survival of Ontario citizens on bikes is in the hands of our policymakers. Please, make the right decision.
