I am in my late 60s and have ridden my bike, and driven a car in Toronto for my entire life. I have always been safety conscious, but have had many close calls riding my bike.

Biking is healthy, non-polluting and non-traffic-generating. In the past decade, bike lanes and other safety structures have made biking in the city much more safe and accessible to many. As Toronto and other cities continue, necessarily, to grow and accommodate more people, it is important that we provide safe options for people to bike and use public transit to navigate the city safely.

The bike lanes in Toronto (and other cities), save lives and increase healthy communities. Let’s keep expanding bike lanes and public transit options and safe lives and decrease pollution and traffic headaches.
