I, as do thousands of others, use the bike lanes on Bloor, Yonge, and University to safely commute to and from university and work every single day. Removing them would mean we have to intermingle with motor traffic, making it more difficult for both cyclists and motorists to commute—at different speeds, we will simply be in the way of one another. It is also extremely dangerous for cyclists to be sharing lanes with motor traffic, as accidents that could lead to nothing but a scratch on a car could mean life or death for a cyclist who need it to get around.
