As a daily bike commuter…

As a daily bike commuter working at King and Bay, and with my wife also biking to the hospital where she works as an ICU nurse, bike lanes are essential to our lives and safety. Bill 212's push to limit and potentially remove bike lanes is deeply concerning. Toronto's bike lanes aren't just lines on the road; they're lifelines that reduce car traffic, improve air quality, and create safe, sustainable travel options. The only real way to reduce car congestion is to encourage fewer people to drive, and accessible bike lanes are key to achieving that. Removing these lanes would make it more dangerous and discouraging for cyclists like us and ultimately lead to more cars clogging the streets.
