I find it shocking that the Ontario Government is considering removing freedom of choice and personal responsibility from it's citizens. Bike lanes give people options to take ownership over their way of getting around. At best, this bill adds red tape and bureaucracy to cities that try to give their residents options. At worst, it dictates how people have to get around in a way that may not be fiscally prudent, forcing people to invest in car ownership, insurance payments, and fuel costs, just to get around when a bicycle could do the same for a fraction of the cost. Not to mention that forcing bicyclists onto busy roadways will cause further congestion for drivers as cars take up far more room on the road than a bicycle in a bike lane.
