There are currently too many vehicles on our streets (approx. 1.6 vehicles for every resident in Ontario). Bicycle riding uses minimal fossil fuels and is a pollution-free mode of transport. Bikes reduce the need to build, service and dispose of cars. Bicycle riding conserves roadway and residential space, thereby providing opportunities for less concrete and more plant life in urban areas. The government should be looking at solutions promoting alternative methods of transportation, not hindering positive solutions that minimize both carbon and physical footprints.
