I know young people who have been killed in Toronto due to the lack of bike lanes. They are dead because they were hit by careless drivers who were in a hurry to get somewhere.

I took my bicycle to work for many years taking my car off the street, reducing air pollution and improving my overall health and alertness in the morning at work. I was far more productive and healthier because of biking to and from work.

I walk along Bloor Street in the West end and having fewer cars on the road due to bike lanes, along with more bikes have improved air quality, so I am much more likely to walk and shop at my local shops.

Do not allow Doug Ford to reduce bike lanes in Toronto. He is a very short sighted politician.

Healthy safe bikers are far less likely to put a strain on our healthcare system, increase air pollution, or gridlock our traffic.

More bike lanes are needed, not less.
